13 JUNE 2013 - YANGON, MYANMAR: A shop manager gives a stick to a porter who is unloading a truck. The porters are paid per piece. They get a stick for every bag (in this case sacks of rice) they unload and then when the job is finished they're paid in cash. 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
