바간 사람들은 어떻게 살아 왔을까? 나는 미난두 마을로 향했다. 이곳 사람들 대부분은 농민들이다. 그 때문에 소를 가장 중요한 일꾼으로 여긴다고 한다. 마을 입구로 들어서자 특이하게 생긴 도구가 보인다. 소를 이용해 방아를 찧는 전통 농기구다. 소의 힘으로 커다란 농기구를 천천히 움직이면 고소한 기름을 얻을 수 있다. 가득 담긴 땅콩기름의 고소한 향이 진동을 한다. 마을 안쪽으로 들어가 봤다. 이 마을 사람들은 오래 전부터 필요한 생필품을 자급자족 해왔다. 여자들은 목화를 재배해 실을 만들어 옷감을 직접 만들고 있다. 아직까지 이런 전통방식으로 실을 하나씩 엮어 천을 만드는 모습이 신기해 보인다. 다 만들어진 옷감의 완성도는 훌륭하다. 화려한 전통 문양이 새겨진 고운 천들이 일일이 수작업으로 만들어졌다는 게 믿기지 않을 정도다. 미난두 마을에 전기와 수도가 들어온 지는 불과 5년이 채 되지 않는다. 이곳 사람들은 아직도 전통방식 그대로 살아가고 있었다. 정직한 땀방울로 결과물을 얻으며 살아가는 사람들의 모습에서 잊고 있었던 시골의 정취를 느낄 수 있었다.

How did you come Bagan people alive? I headed to the US nandu town. Most people here are farmers. This is to say that because the cow as the most important workers. Lift entrance to the village party seems unusual-looking tools. The traditional cattle farming equipment jjitneun using the treadmill. Moving slowly, a large cattle farm implements to force the accused to obtain oil. The vibration of the savory aroma filled containing peanut oil. I looked into the inside of the village. The villagers have been self-sufficient for basic necessities needed for a long time. Women are making your own cloth made of cotton cultivation to the room. This figure makes one thread woven into the fabric still looks marveling how this tradition. The completeness of the made cloth is fantastic. The degree of fine cloth This ornate traditional patterns are engraved not believe it was made individually by hand. Electricity and water are being brought to the US nandu town just is not less than five years. Where people were still living as traditional methods. Obtained as a result of honest sweat I could feel the rural atmosphere of the forgotten figure in the lives of people.

MYANMAR VLOG - MIN NAN THU VILLAGE (DAY 2) | EP05
Hey Everyone! Join us in another Myanmar vlog where we explore the Min Nan Thu village in Bagan Myanmar.
This was an adventure that was completely unplanned! Robyn and I were riding down random dirt tracks in Bagan, when a little girl on the side of the road asked if we wanted to visit her village.
It took me by surprise (the moment was filmed) but I instantly decided it was a good idea, and then we pulled up and the tour began.
This vlog is very raw and sometimes a bit shaky, but you'll get a real sense for what to expect if you ever visit the Min Nan Thu village.
We met the oldest woman (92 years old) in the village! She sat quietly weaving cotton before firing up a cigar! We met some of the village kids, learned how they cook and prepare food. I saw a cotton tree for the first time in my life. I was also introduced to their lacquer ware workshop and how they prepare the sap for their lacquer ware products.
Afterwards, the little girl walked us to a local Pagoda to watch the sunset! And yes, we tipped her generously :-)
This was a truly magnificent experience! If you Google the name of the village and find the exact location, you can probably take a more planned approach to it if you plan on visiting Bagan.
Let me know what you think :-)

천 년 전, 바간의 왕이 아난다 스님에게 지어주었다는 아난다 사원. 이곳은 바간의 수많은 사원들 중에서 가장 오래된 곳이다. 사원 안에 들어서자 마치 동굴에 들어온 듯 한 기분이 들었다. 그 중심에 10미터 높이의 목조 불상이 자리하고 있다. 사원은 균형을 이루도록 대칭으로 설계됐고 2중으로 된 통로가 중심을 둘러싸고 있다. 통로 곳곳에서 다양한 표정을 한 불상들과 함께 크고 작은 공간들을 볼 수 있었다. 이곳은 스님들이 수행을 할 수 있도록 만들어진 방이다. 이 모든 것들이 천 년 전에 만들어 졌다는 게 믿기지 않을 정도다.

Sulamani Temple Bagan
There are so much to learn from Buddhist culture and the way of life, this culture is changing very fast indeed.

The Sulamani Temple is a Buddhist temple located in the village of Minnanthu in Burma.
The temple is one of the most-frequently visited in Bagan.
It was built in 1183 by King Narapati sithu, and is similar to the Thatbyinnyu Temple in design.

다음날 새벽, 나는 전통시장을 찾았다. 이른 아침부터 이곳 저곳에서 모여든 상인들의 손길이 분주하다. 이곳 상인들 대부분은 멀리 떨어진 작은 마을에서 찾아온 소수민족이다. “아주 먼 곳에서 왔어요. 이틀이 걸리는 거리에요. 이곳에서 사원도 구경하고, 찻잎을 팔고 가는데 1년에 한번씩 찾아 옵니다.” 채소를 나르는 손길이 분주하다. 이곳에서 거래되는 농산물은 직접 재배한 것이기 때문에 아주 싱싱해 보였다. 채소가 가득 담긴 바구니를 들어봤다. 쉽게 들리지 않는 것이 족히 40kg은 넘는 것 같다. 조금이라도 더 많이 가져와야 이윤이 남는 만큼, 요령껏 최대한의 짐들을 옮긴다. 자신의 몸무게보다도 무거워 보이는 짐도 거뜬히 옮기는 여인들. 시간이 조금 지나자 여인들의 발걸음이 빨라진다. 조금이라도 빨리 움직여야 좋은 자리를 잡을 수 있기 때문이다. 자리를 잡기 위한 경쟁은 아주 치열하다. 오전 8시, 전통시장 안은 이미 만원이다. 여기저기 자리를 잡지 못한 여인들이 보이기 시작해 안타까운 마음이 들었다. 무려 천 년의 역사를 자랑하는 바간 전통시장. 아침 6시부터 9시까지만 운영하는 직거래 장터다. 과거에는 소수민족들이 물물교환을 하는 장소였다. 이곳 저곳에서 흥정하는 모습이 마치 과거, 우리의 장터 모습을 보는 것 같아 정겨움이 느껴진다. 오전 10시, 장사를 마친 상인들이 다시 버스에 올라탔다. 팔고 남은 물건이며 빈 바구니까지. 버스는 올 때와 마찬가지로 만원이다. 흐뭇한 표정으로 돈을 세는 아주머니, 오늘 벌어들인 수익금이 우리나라 돈으로 만 원 정도다. 이 정도면 아주 만족스런 수입이라고 한다. 장사로 벌어들인 수익금 대부분은 가족들을 위한 생필품구입에 사용한다. 새벽부터 피곤한 하루였지만 넉넉한 마음으로 집으로 돌아가는 발걸음은 가벼울 것이다.

Competition is very keen to hold the position. 8:00 am, traditional markets inside is already won. There's a woman here who hold the place they heard a sad heart started to show. Bagan whopping traditional market with a history of thousands of years. 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but the direct transaction marketplaces operated. In the past, ethnic minorities have been the place to barter. This looks like a bargain here and there as if looking at the past, we felt jeonggyeoum appearance of marketplaces. 10 a.m., completing the burial traders got back on the bus. To sell the remaining stuff and empty basket. The bus is ten thousand won, just as you come. A heartwarming expression to count the money Aunt, the profits earned in the country today, provided, however won money. If this degree is called quite satisfactory Good for import.

강의 한 가운데서 위험해 보이는 뗏목을 발견했다. 나는 뗏목들이 모이는 장소에 가보기로 했다. 해마다 건기 때가 되면 이라와디 강의 상류에서 출발해 이곳에 도착한 뗏목은 며칠 간 휴식을 취한 뒤, 더 먼 곳으로 항해한다. 뗏목은 모두 대나무로 만들어져 있다. 미얀마의 가난한 서민들에게 대나무는 아주 유용한 건축 재료다. 그 때문에 건기가 되면 강의 상류에서 수확한 질 좋은 대나무를 하류로 가져와 판매한다. 건기 때가 되면 이곳 마을 사람들이 분주해진다. 건축 재료로 사용될 것 은 넓은 판 형태로 가공을 해서 판매하고, 먼 곳으로 보낼 대나무는 가공하지 않은 상태로 운송한다. 각 마을로 배달된 대나무는 튼튼한 집이 되거나, 유용한 공예품으로 재탄생 될 것이다. 뗏목 위로 올라가 봤다. 빼곡하게 엮인 대나무가 출렁거려 제대로 걷기조차 힘들었다. 강을 따라 대나무를 옮기는 사람들은 최소 일주일 이상 뗏목에서 생활한다. 간이 주방이며 각종 도구들을 갖추고 짧게는 300km, 길게는 800km 정도를 항해 한다. “여기까지 오는데 8, 9일 정도 걸린 것 같습니다. 대나무 수량이 많으면, 돈을 벌지만 적을 때는 그렇지 않아요.” 이들 대부분은 가족 단위로 이동한다. 이곳은 중간 휴게소인 셈. 잠시 휴식을 취할 때는 살림을 맡은 여자들의 일손이 바빠진다. 강가에서 태어나 강에서 살아가는 이들에게 이곳은 없어서는 안 될 소중한 삶의 터전이다. 미얀마를 관통하는 거대한 이라와디 강. 서민들에게 풍부한 물을 주고 살아갈 양식을 제공해 준다. 자연과 어우러져 살아가는 이들의 모습이 오랫동안 잊혀지지 않을 것 이다.

Seemingly the middle of a dangerous river and found the raft. I decided to gather a raft Cam4 place. Each year during the dry season when it is time to depart from the Irrawaddy River upstream to take a break between the raft arrived here a few days later and sailed into the distance. Both raft is made of bamboo. To the poor people of Myanmar Bamboo is a very useful building material. Therefore, when the dry season brought a sell-quality bamboo harvested from the river upstream to downstream. When the dry season when villagers here it is busy. It will be used as building materials are sold to processing in the form of a large plate, and transportation to raw bamboo sent to distant states. Bamboo Village is delivered to each home or a sturdy, it will be reborn as a useful crafts. Climb saw the raft. Ppaegok yeokin was hard to even walk properly bamboo rocking ticks. People along the river to move the bamboo is at least a week in the life raft. Kitchenette and a sail is 300km, 800km long is short enough equipped with various tools. It looks like it took to get to here about eight, nine days. The large quantity of bamboo, it's not only when enemies make money. Most of them will go to the family unit. This is a count intermediate resting place. When you take a break swamped the women in charge of Salim falls bar. To those who live in the river where the river is born in the home of precious lives indispensable. Huge Irrawaddy River passing through Myanmar. To give people the abundant water gives provides a live form. I will not live in harmony with the natural look of these long forgotten.

Bagan (Burmese: MLCTS: pu.gam, pronounced [pəɡàN]), formerly Pagan, is an ancient city in the Mandalay Division of Burma. Formally titled Arimaddanapura or Arimaddana (the City of the Enemy Crusher) and also known as Tambadipa (the Land of Copper) or Tassadessa (the Parched Land), it was the ancient capital of several ancient kingdoms in Burma. It is located in the dry central plains of the country, on the eastern bank of the Ayeyarwady River, 90 miles (145 km) southwest of Mandalay.
UNESCO has unsuccessfully tried to designate Bagan as a World Heritage Site. The military junta (SPDC) has haphazardly restored ancient stupas, temples and buildings, ignoring original architectural styles and using modern materials that bear no resemblance to the original designs. Likewise, the junta has established a golf course, a paved highway, and built a 200-foot (61-m) watchtower in the southeastern suburb of Minnanthu.[1]
