In Myanmar there is a long tradition of temporary ordination of Buddhist monks and married men can traditionally return to the monastery from time to time, provided they have their wives' permission. As seen in this next photo, where the wife and daughter are proudly walking along behind this monk. This photo previously appeared in my post entitled Yangon - Further First Impressions of Myanmar - Burma on my Travel Tales blog.
How interesting. I wonder where the women go when they fancy a break from their husbands!
ReplyDeleteI had the same doubt as Fun60. :)

ReplyDeleteI didn't know this. Our traveling grandson and his wife loved Myanmar.
