2. What do tea shop owners deal with in their life? Well I found out some
fascinating information you wouldn’t know about a tea shop owner.
Some people’s life depend on a tea shop. It’s like their life’s path was
meant for it. Ms. Than Than Win our interviewee told us about her life with
10~15 people per day. There are times where she gets stress about her family
but goes away with her life. Her community shows her no wrong. She likes her
surroundings and the people around it which makes her feel proud. Being
proud around a joyful surrounding would be the best part of her life.
She lives with 5 people who helps her at her shop except for her brother
who goes to work at a government factory. The people who lives with her are
2 nieces, a nephew, her elder brother and her.
Well, be ready to be surprised by the photo essay that is going to be
presented.

Than Win the tea shop
owner. She is from
Popa Mountain which is
an extinct volcano from
the Division of Bagan.
4. This is a table surrounded by people enjoying their morning tea.
During the morning there would be 10 to 15 people who would come to
the shop and enjoy the pleasant tang of their tea.
5. The watercress is what they cook for lunch and feed their customers.
They have to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for all the customers in
the surrounding.

The chairman

people in there reading Gha Tha. The purpose they read it is to keep the bad
spirits away from their surrounding.
8. This is a shop that is around the neighborhood of the tea shop.
This shop sells some junk food, drinks and some vegetables. There are
many more tea shops and mini shops around the neighborhood.
9. The place near the tea shop where trishaw drivers put their trishaws in
the shade is a very peaceful place. Then they go and enjoy their breakfast or
lunch. When they are not eating their lunch or breakfast they would be waiting
for their customers.
10. These are
