It's a difficult year for postcard vendors in Bagan, Myanmar. Locals and repeat visitors estimate that tourists to Bagan are down about 80-90% from last year. Unfortunately, there are only so many postcards one person can buy!

I can relate from when I was there before the protests...I came home with hundreds of postcards....I can't even begin to image how desperate they must be now to see tourists.

The attention and selling at some of the larger temples was a bit overwhelming at times. It was obvious that people were getting desperate due to the lack of tourists this year. We normally don't buy souvenirs since we have to carry everything on our back, but ended up with a few sand paintings...
