A distiller of palm alcohol.	A little girl who was making up with "thanaka". note: "Thanaka" is a powder made from the trunks of thanaka trees. In Myanmar, almost all of the women and children put it on their faces. It's good for skin.	When we asked the children the way to Sanzu, they called their father. He seemed to have been working.
Beautiful women in Sanzu	Village headman of Sanzu.	Children in Sanzu. note: The green longyi (a kind of sarong) is their school uniform.
At the office of Taung Kalat.	At the office of Taung Kalat.	At the foot of Taung Kalat.
At the road of Taung Kalat.	A little priest in a monastery.	Very young nuns.
< Katsusaburo and two young men. The two men led us to a hill near Toung Kalat and the mountain stream. In February 1983, the memorial tour group, formerly in the same regiment, built a tombstone for their fellow soldiers. We would have liked to have seen it. When we asked at the office of Taung Kalat, to our surprise, people replied at once "yes, we know it." Though they could not find it, they looked for it again and again. It was on the hill a bit far from the mountain stream. There was a pagoda and a monastery.
