  oblong box which goes over your bed just like

  a large lid and you sleep underneath.

   

  Sun Feb 7 1915

   

  To day I had to take my turn at Water

  carring that is fetching drinking water for the

  men of the shed in which you are sleeping or

  trying too.  After this we had a trip up to see

  the native bazaar this is much more interesting than

  Maymyo as here you see them in exactly their

  native state they are all mostly Chinese here and

  there are a great many opium shops. You see

  here the Chinese women in their native dress

  and with very tiny feet in fact some of them

  have to walk with sticks as their feet are

  to small to carry them (not like many English

  whose feet are so big you can’t knock them

  over.) To day I also saw a polo match which

  was very interesting as I had never seen one

  before.
