A Kick in the Longyi



No, its not hacky sack; it's Chinlone.  No visitor to Burma can go long before observing a group of men enjoying a round of the country's national sport.  It's especially popular at sunset, which is when I captured this video in the historic town of Pyay.  The sumptuous view from Pyay's Shwesendaw Pagoda was just to good to keep for myself.  So, enjoy the clip, grab yourself a ball, and start warming up those feet.  You'll need plenty of practice if you hope to keep up with the Burmese!
