Very good question, Joshua! Those young girls are there for their nun novitiation too - but somehow we didn’t get to witness the head shaving - which would have been even more interesting to watch and shoot. Our guide Win told us that this was the first monk initiation he had witness in 10 years - as it’s near impossible to tell when the ceremony will take place.

Wonderful and colorful images, Bobby and for sure not something we see a lot. I didn’t get to see that event while I was there. While the head shaving images of boys are obvious but there are young folks that look like girls. Are they in the process of becoming nuns?
