Burma
Union of Myanmar
Burma, Birma, Myanmar, three different names for a country that you can travel
quite good individually in the meantime.
We visited
this fascinating land of the golden pagodas now a second time
and
were curious to see what has changed since our first visit in 2001.
At that time it was a journey into the past,
everything was still primitive and there were no western influences. This
time
it
was very different, we wondered about large billboards,
Internet cafes, department stores and the heavy
traffic in the cities. Of course we were aware of the political situation, but
we really wanted to visit again this wonderful country with its friendly and
curious people.
