Kuthodaw Pagoda

IMG_1427After the Palace we stopped by the Kuthodaw Pagoda aka the world’s biggest book.  It is the biggest book because there are 729 leaves and 1458 pages carved in marble.  Each of the 729 leaves are stored in its own little building making this the world’s largest book.

While in the Pagoda, I was trying to get a picture of the lotus flowers.  Someone else from the boat was standing in front of them and was trying to explain to someone how work her iPad to take her picture.  This had gone on for sometime and I decided to circle back.  The next thing I knew the woman was running after me calling my name.  She explained that it had gotten stuck on video and she fixed that but now when she went to take a picture of something the camera was facing her instead of the other way.

I don’t use my iPad as a camera.  I don’t think it is practical but judging by how often I see someone holding up an iPad to take a picture, there are differing opinions.  Since I don’t use my iPad as a camera, I wasn’t sure if I knew how to switch the camera back.  I reminded myself that iPads are intuitive and found the icon on the screen to switch it back.  Emergency over, and the woman was no longer standing in front of the lotus flowers.
