Mandalay

Second largest city in Burma, north of Yangon

While we were waiting for a ferry, Tutu and I came across an opening ceremony for a building.  Lots of soldiers and schoolchildren.  Apparently opening ceremonies are a big deal for the government, and they get schools to send over children to attend and provide a crowd.  Right after this photo I was told to stop taking pictures, but later I was able to get in close and watch the actual ceremony.
