O povo de Myanmar
The people of Myanmar


Uma das coisas que eu mais gosto de fazer quando estou viajando é observar as pessoas do local. Myanmar foi um prato cheio pra mim. O povo birmanês segue suas tradições, moda e costumes no dia a dia e não apenas em uma festa típica, como na maioria dos outros países.

One of the things I like the most when I'm traveling is to observe the local people. Myanmar was a field day for me. The Burmese people follow their traditions, fashion and customs day-to-day and not just in a traditional festival, as in most other countries.

Encontramos o costume em toda parte.

We could see their customs in all places.

Emotive Human Portrait - The people of Myanmar

No sorriso de dentes vermelhos das pessoas que mascam folhas de betel e depois cospem, deixando marcas vermelhas no chão, por todo lado.

In the red-teeth smile of people chewing betel leaves and then leaving red marks on the floor, everywhere, by spitting it.

Nos monges budistas que andam pelas ruas com suas urnas recolhendo doações de comida.

In Buddhist monks who walk the streets with their urns collecting donations of food.

Nas saias das mulheres, que são feitas com um tecido colorido, muito elegante, e nos homens que também usam uma saia longa, chamada longyi, mas de um tecido mais sério, bem menos colorido.

In women's skirts, which are made with a colorful fabric, very elegant, and in men who also wear a long skirt, called longyi, but of a more serious, much less colorful fabric.

No rosto das crianças e adultos que usam a tanaka, uma pasta feita do pó da casca de uma árvore e que funciona como um protetor solar.

In the face of children and adults who use the thanaka. A paste made from the powder of the bark of a tree and used as a sunblock.

O país ficou fechado para o resto do mundo por mais de 50 anos e percebemos um genuíno interesse pelos visitantes que chegam, cada vez em maior quantidade. O encantamento pelo diferente, junto com uma verdadeira curiosidade pelo "nosso mundo", faz do povo de Myanmar um dos mais simpáticos e acolhedores que já conheci.

The country has been closed to the rest of the world for more than 50 years and we noticed that there is a genuine interest in visitors arriving in higher numbers each day. The magic of the different, and a true fascination for "our world", makes the people of Myanmar one of the most friendly and welcoming I have ever known.

O meu medo é que essa atitude mude com o tempo, afinal o turismo às vezes tem esse efeito de mudar as pessoas. Por isso acho que temos que pensar muito nas atitudes que tomamos quando visitamos um local, para ajudarmos a preservar de forma sustentável, ao invés de destruirmos uma cultura.

My fear is that this attitude will change over time, as tourism eventually ends up changing people. So I think we have to think a lot about the attitudes we take when we visit a place, to help maintain a culture in a sustainable way, rather than to destroy it.
