Cane Ball Games in Bagan

The 17 o'clock. It's the official time for "caneball" in Myanmar. At this time the sun's heat is less strong and young people gather on the streets to play a game of caneball or simple have a quick go. It's easy to join them for part of the game. Doing it in Old Bagan has the magic of playing next to the temples which are more than 800 years old, sharing touches with men dressed only in a longyi (a kind of sarong that men in Brmania wear) rolled up like a diaper . The best temple to have the opportunity to join the game is Dhammayangyi, the largest temple of Bagan.
