ScenesOfYangon

13 JUNE 2013 - YANGON, MYANMAR: Buddhist monks walk down a street in Yangon soliciting alms and donations. Most men in Myanmar join the "Sangha" (clergy) at least once in their life. Some stay monks for just a few weeks, others for year and a few make it a life time commitment. Yangon, formerly Rangoon, is Myanmar's commercial capital and used to be the national capital. The city is on the Irrawaddy River and has a vibrant riverfront. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
