Oh, and call it Burma. Don't call it Myanmar because that's the name the military regime gave it and they're a bunch of twats.

i'm now really regretting I didn't have the time to get over to burma while I was in asia; I would have made it just before the protests broke out. Hopefully the situation will change within the next four years (won't be traveling much while i'm finishing my degree), so i'm remaining optimistic that I'll get there within the next few years.
