Check it out Myanmar by Muki.
Myanmar is a difficult place to get around. If you’re trying to keep as many of your tourist dollars away from the government as possible. Myanmar is frequently referred to as Burma, the language in Myanmar is Burmese, and the capital of this diverse region is Naypyidaw. The country has over 50,000,000 inhabitants, many which enjoy the fine pastime of gambling. Myanmar has been one of the major producers of rice in the world but today the staple diet of its people is hardly available for them. As a part of our CSR program for the homeless, we decided to partner with the World Concern to deliver rice grains to the cyclone-hit regions of the country. Myanmar´s export to India ($555.10 million in 2006) was higher than Myanmar´s export to China ($229.70 million in 2006). India has also provided over $50 million Line of Credit to Myanmar in the past five years in order to help that country to expand its exports to India. Myanmar’s example of an unworkable government is all too clear in its tragic reaction to a devastating natural disaster. Myanmar had an estimated 338 911 people living with HIV/AIDS in 2004. Myanmar and China denied the accusations, but New Delhi’s concerns were well founded. In August 1993, Indian coastguards caught three boats ‘fishing’ close to the Andamans, where last year the Indian navy established a new Far Eastern Naval Command in a move viewed as an attempt to counter Chinese influence in Myanmar. Myanmar became an independent republic outside the Commonwealth of Nations. The new constitution provided for a bicameral legislature with a responsible prime minister and cabinet. Myanmar is the new name for the country of Burma and the capital’s new name is Yangon (formerly Rangoon). However, these names have not yet been universally accepted. Myanmar is isolated and closed. Seen from a developmental perspective, it might be relevant to raise the question of access by tourists to Myanmar. Myanmar is estimated to have $3.5 billion in foreign reserves and receives an estimated $150 million per month from gas export revenues alone, according to a July 23 Human Rights Watch press release. Very little, if any, of this money appears to have gone towards relief and reconstruction. Myanmar military regime arrested another two young monks last Saturday night. Local police and authorities raided the monastery and captured the two monks at around 10 pm on August 23rd.
