This is the Eng
Of the different tribes visited in Myanmar, the Eng were my favorite. While all of the tribes were generally welcoming, the Eng were particularly so, and seemed genuinely good-natured.
The Eng are easy to recognize: both men and women traditionally wear all black clothing with colorful red trim or stitching, and most work their way up to some very large holes in their ears. While these hold sizeable earrings the majority of the time, during festivals and other special occasions those are replaced by bouquets of pretty, colorful flowers (one of the images below shows a woman with yellow flowers in her ear.)
