| U Bein 1.2 kilometer Pedestrian Bridge over Lake Taungthaman |
 |
| Famously made of teak wood scavenged from the royal palace which had been abandoned in Inwa when the royal capital was moved to the city of Amarapura |
 |
| There are a couple duck farms on the bridge, herded along the islands and over the water, to return home to their pen at the end of the day, or to be sold at market |

| Duck Farm |
 |
| We walked all 1.2 kilometers of the bridge |
 |
| Duck feeding |
 |
| Boats on the lake, using a cross-over rowing technique |
 |
| A local girl walked the entire bridge with us, leaving us wondering if she wanted money, as many poor kids do, but, in the end, it was just a pleasant chat with her practicing her English and observing her same-age American peers with curiosity. |
