"My boyhood friends and I loved hand-carved slingshots, which we bought fromstreet vendors. Men
and women wearing tubular skirts called longyis. Passengers on the
roofs of buses. Monks with freshly shaved heads and flowing orange
robes. Monsoon drizzle. Cheroots. Roadside fires warming mohinga, rice
noodles in fish soup. Trishaw drivers standing as they pedal. People
spitting betel juice." images of rangoon written in 1995 by Joel L Swerdlow, National Geographic
