Silk Weavers

In Paw Kon is on the map because of the famed silk weavers. Even if you don't have any interest in buying any hand weaved silk fabric it is well worth the boat ride from Nyaungshwe as it is so beautiful. When you see this sign you know you are entering the city limits! LOL

Pros:Silk weaving..Beautiful setting

Scott, a fantastic page! An amazing water-based life style! The good news is, I think that you are already smelling enough roses in Alaska!

All this weed gathering has got to wear out the locals! You and I would sink to our throats on the gardens before Hadji joined us, of that I'm sure.

What a great looking place. Think you might be smelling more than roses if there's sewage flowing into there though :-)
