Myanmar, Inle Lake

by STAN.

Inle,a fresh water lake is a relaxing place to visit at Myanmar.The Inthas(originally mountain people) overcomes their odds to live in this lake by becoming fishermen with their unique way of leg-rowing.Their wives's floating garden are as unique.. they grow vegetables on the floating garden formed by the muck they digged out from the lake.
