Jump, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Sittwe is located by the Bay of Bengal. Therefore it is a popular destination for local Burmese people to travel to. When being there in April 2012 I met a young Burmese Monk enjoying walking on the beach and playing with waves by jumping over them. That were memorable moments observing him in front of Big Water.
