Description


On partait de Mandalay en voiture La circulation n´avançait pas d´un milimètre J´ai demandé au guide ( indépendent, rien à voir avec le gouvernement) ce que s´y passait Il avait l´air blasé : « Rien, c´est juste une procession boudhiste qui bloque la circulation ! » Je lui lance un regard noir pour ne pas m´avoir prevenue , avant de sauter hors de la voiture et revenir plus d´une heure après C´était magnifique, un défilé immense avec des gens deguisés, les écoles défilant avec leurs symboles, des chars colorés, toute une parade comme je n´ai jamais vue Pendant ce temps, mon guide, qui me connaissait déjà, était allé aux infos pour pouvoir répondre à toutes mes questions en détail « Il s´agit d´une procession en hommage à un moine, un homme saint trés veneré ici, de la région, qui a été promu par les plus hautes hautes autorités Theravades du Sri Lanka « Bon, savoir à quoi correspond une « promotion » d´un moine exige des connaissances réligieuses que mon jeune guide ne possédait pas, je n´éxagère pas C´était probablement la première fois de ma vie que j´étais ravie, émerveillé, d´être retenue d´un embouteillage Mais en Birmanie, rien est comme ailleurs, même les embouteillages We started the travel to go out Mandalay but circulation not advance a milimeter I requested to my guide (independent, nothing to see with the government) what happens He say with blasé air: “Nothing, it is only a boudhist procession which blocks circulation!” I launch a black look to him to not me talk about, before jumping outside of the car and return more than one hour after It was splendid, an immense procession with people dressed with differents colored cloths, the schools ravelling with their symbols, coloured chars, a whole parade as I never saw During this time, my guide, which knew me already, had gone to the news to be able to answer all my questions "It a procession in tribute to a monk, a holy man very considerated here, which was promoted by the highest Theravades authorities of Sri Lanka What corresponds a "promotion" of a monk requires religious knowledge that my young guide don’t have, I don’t exagerate It was probably the first time of my life which I was charmed, filled with wonder, to be retained of a traffic jam But in Burma, nothing is like elsewhere, even the traffic jams

Your History lessons are the best! I have learned things from you that no books teach! And you have credentials! So do I get a degree as your "student"? LOL!! This is another marvelous capture, it appears to be a very serious affair, judging by the serious looks on the faces of those in the parade. This is a wonderful traffic jamb to be caught in!
