Myanmar

Myanmar (formerly Burma)

Myanmar is one of the most friendly and peaceful places we have visited in our tour around the world. It's a shame, though, that it is controlled by the junta, who has absolutely no interest in the lives of the Myanmar people. While we watch the recent protests unfold, it pains us to think that how a small group of people could control the lives of so many and keep the whole country in repression. September 28, 2007

Good pictures and descriptions - almost as good as http://buten.net/max/index.html#Myanmar . Many of the pictures in this album are marked for lupkeen only - not visible to me.
