The man in the longyi was a pedicab driver. He was reading a book as he parked his pedicab called Saiq-ka on the side of the road in Pyay. He was reading a book while waiting for a customer to arrive.

Incredible to me, it was not unusual for drivers reading books, magazines, newspapers, and other printed matter in Myanmar, while they were waiting for customers. Looking at them, I felt that all the people in Myanmar might be addicted to reading books. In my travels, I saw many people reading on the roadside.

The book the man was reading seemed to be interesting. He kept his eyes on the page. I thought he would not notice if a customer approached him. The man was absorbed in reading.
