Inside the Bamboo House on Stilts with Susu, MYANMAR 

Did you know that one billion people in this world live in bamboo houses? Bamboo does not only provide pillars, walls, window frames, rafters but also room separators, ceilings and roofs. It is called the "poor people's timber" and even in China, it is not accepted as a modern building material. Now how would you like your house without running water, fridge or the bathroom? This time I have taken my camera inside the bamboo house of our lovely guide Susu in Nyaung-Shwe, Myanmar.
The wood and bamboo thatched-roof houses on stilts are no doubt the most popular and the cheapest houses for rural households and for many town dwellers in Myanmar. The materials can be harvested at no monetary cost if they are at hand and there is a tradition for communal house building in villages. If no repairs were made, a typical bamboo house would last three to five years. On one hand, they are cheap and well ventilated, on the other they are neither waterproof nor fireproof.
