The most awkward moment

A brief photo after the most awkward moment on the trip thus far. Part of our Inle boat trip was a visit to the "longnecks" where we were the only guests. The two of us sat in front of three women/girls who sang, danced, and performed for us. It was followed with our translator (this woman's niece who chose not to wear the jewelry at age 10) saying, "You can take picture with longneck woman now." They were very gracious about it and the tradition really is quite fascinating, but it just felt like they were on display! So I reluctantly did (take the photo) and was quite happy when the whole thing was over!
