仰光的渡口之一

一条仰光河，从市区中心切过，往返两边的，主要靠渡口，沿线有很多大大小小的渡口，最大的是PASONDA JETTY，定期往返，是双层轮渡，也是供外国人去对岸的唯一指定轮渡。其它很多渡口，都是小舢板，主要搭载缅甸人。曾经试图乘坐，不过被拒绝了。

一直没注意到渡口，直到有天突然发现，渡口，真是一个好地方，特别是BOTAHTUANG JETTY，很美妙的一个地方，后来就经常去。

BOTAHTUANG是一个很热闹的地方，有一座BOTAHTUANG PAGODA，很多当地人会前去礼佛。

第一张相片是BOTAHTUANG的大门，有一条路一直通到佛塔以及渡口。 第二张是大门口前面的天桥，如果天晴晴好，日落时分可以看到很壮观的景象。第三张，第四张，是进出轮渡和佛塔的人们。第五第六张，是BOTAHTUANG PAGODA。第七第八张，是在门口天桥看到的壮观的日落佛塔。

6 Suddenly I heard shouting in French. A mob of people were running into the sea, fully clothed. That's odd, I thought.

7 I glimpsed something moving up and down amid the waves, past the end of the jetty. I gasped, realizing the catastrophe with horror. That's a little boy out there! The would-be rescuers fought against the tide, but the situation was bleak. With the water's tow, they'd never get to him in time.

8 I looked back at the boy. His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and he disappeared for a moment; I had to intervene.

9 I appraised the situation and realized – the jetty! The boy was close to it; maybe I could help from there. I raced down the beach, out onto the jetty, and it hit me: Water! My palms got sweaty and my stomach felt sick, symptoms of my fear. I stopped short.
