Lives of our neighbors

Power Point by:Rachel

How do people from Burma live?

Living in Burma is really great, but how do people really live here?! All these amazing photos are taken to understand how our respected neighbors are living. I have interviewed some people from tea shops. One of these amazing people is U Tun Tun. We will learn about his way of life.

The people of the tea shop don’t only work in a tea shops, but also sell all kinds of vegetables and a Burmese wood cream that is called Thanaka.

These are known as trishaws. Since some people can’t afford to ride cars they rent these contraptions. It is the Burmese people’s form of transportation. Because they don’t own it, they rent trishaws from the city each day.

This is U Tun Tun’s tea shop kitchen. The customers always keep the helpers busy by making them prepare food.

These children don’t have a playground to play in like a lot of children so they use trees and bicycles as their playground.

This is charcoal at the back of Miss Than Than Win’s tea shop. This is her charcoal storage area.

The source that the tea shop people use for fire is wood. U Tun Tun stores it beside his tea shop.

The cooking is done a lot by hand. It is mostly because they cook things which need peeling.

U Tun Tun’s house doesn’t have as good quality as our kinds of houses, so this is what the roof of his tea shop looks like.

!!!THANK YOU!!! Thank you all for looking at this photo essay. To me, it has

been a great adventure interviewing and learning about these people. Special thanks also to Ahmad Irfan for taking these pictures and Timmy Tseng for helping me with this Power Point!
