Faces of Burma Part 3

Wow wow wow! I was in utter shock when I saw this girl. This was a pure stroke of luck from just wandering around a very tiny village, the name I can't even find somewhere in the Shan State. Ethnically, she is Pa'O, which is the second largest ethnic group in the Shan State, and seventh largest throughout the country.

She was born with these natural, beautiful blue eyes. In Burmese culture, people believe that babies born with blue eyes are the reincarnation of a previous person. She was extremely shy when I encountered her with her grandmother, but after a couple minutes she was a little friendlier. I'm still amazed to see such striking blue eyes on an asian girl.
