Myanmar (Burma)
Myanmar (Burma) is a seductive country with congenial people, rich culture, excellent hotels and stupendous architecture. Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon) and Bagan’s endless thousand-year-old temples stretching as far as the eye can see are two of the great man-made wonders of the world. Most Burmese are Buddhist, although there are over 60 different ethnic groups including the mysterious and intriguing hill-tribe people: the Karen, Mien, Hmong, Lahu, Akha and Lisu.
Myanmar is very alluring, but it is also a complex and controversial place run by a military-dominated government often called one of the world’s most oppressive regimes. Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the nation’s first democratically elected Prime Minister, was freed in 2010 after spending much of the past two decades under house arrest and is now poised to reenter the country’s politics amid signs of political and economic reform. Some travelers refuse to visit the country on principle, while others feel that the international presence brought by tourism is necessary to improve the political situation, a stance recently adopted by Kyi.
