The Unexpected Life of a Tea Shop Owner.

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.

This is Than Than Win the tea shop owner. She is from Popa Mountain which is an extinct volcano from the Division of Bagan.

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.

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.

This is the chairman's office where he checks what is going on with the surroundings. The chairman also have to be in touch with the government and collects vote for the election.

The shrine inside the chairman's office. Every friday there are people in there reading Gha Tha. The purpose they read it is to keep the bad spirits away from their surrounding.

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.

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.

These are some kids that live around the surroundings. Their daily routine are just like us but we different just that we have schools.
