We spent a morning at one of the monastery schools near Yangon, interacting with the young nuns going through their daily routine. In Burma, shoes must be removed before entering a monastery or holy site. I should have taken the hint early on and and gotten a pair of flip flops ( the footwear of choice) because I always wore my lace-up Nikes and had to untie and tie them 20 times a day. It got to be a pain!
Love the way the shoes carry us into the distance and the pink monk robes. Yep, slip on/off shoes work better there -- but then you have to walk in them!
