Local Girl Wearing Danaka Paste - Rangoon

Local Girl Wearing Danaka Paste

Danaka Paste

When you arrive in Yangon, you will notice that all of the girls, and a lot of the kids are wearing this yellow paste smeared on their faces in different patterns. It is called Danaka, and is used as something of a sun block against the strong tropical sun in Burma... It's made from powder ground up from one of the local trees...
