Join a leg rowing race on Inle lake in Myanmar

You might be wondering what a Leg Rowing race looks like and why you would want to participate in one. Rather than try to describe it, it's probably easiest to watch the clip below. Traditional Intha fisherman of the Inle lake region developed this this distinct leg rowing style in order to be able to stand to see over the reeds while rowing and now it has evolved into a race with teams of up to 50 rowers.
