TITLE: Yangon Domestic Harbour

When you enter the port of Yangon, you get the impression that time has come to a halt in the last 80 years.
Old freighters are docked at pontoons witch are connected to the harbour with steel bridges. Were the cargo, mostly rice, is still carried by workers form the ships to the trucks. To keep count the workers get a wooden stick, when exiting the cargo bay. During the breaks the workers sleep, play games of dice or checkers with a self made board and bottle caps.
