Passing some more fishermen on the way to a village

We were now off to another village on Inle Lake - passing by some fishermen on the way - some with their huge trap/nets.  One of them had just caught a fish and showed it to us as we passed. And then we passed a Post Office on stilts in a somewhat isolated place; I doubt if many people around there get mail. I gave a copy of the PO picture to the Cambridge Postmaster and a couple of her deputies and they got a big kick out of it.  Going through the channel into the village we passed a bunch of white Stupas and another Pagoda. You can see some of the docks and one of the bridges that crossed the channel.

Here is a 3:45 minute video of what I saw as our boat travelled through the channel
