Burma / Myanmar: A spice vendor in the market, Myitkyina, Kachin State (1998)

Myitkyina is the capital city of Kachin State. In Burmese it means 'near the big river', and Myitkyina is on the west bank of the Ayeyarwady River, just below 40 km (25 mi) from Myit-son (Burmese for confluence) of its two headstreams (the Mali and N'mai rivers).
