A good travel website on Myanmar

While surfing the web I came across this wonderful website on travels to Myanmar by ....

I thought I would share the link here:

Travel website on Myanmar by Linda Durham

She has given a good argument on why travelers should visit Myanmar.

Here is what Ms. Durham has said in part in the article on her website:

"The absence of tourists and travelers in Myanmar is a true tragedy for the kind and gentle people of that beleaguered nation; a nation whose regular population relies on the sale of weavings, paintings,lacquerware and souvenirs (as well as on employment in the hotels and cafes) to supply their basic needs. From Yangon, to Taungoo, to Naung Schwe to Kakku and beyond, I was told over and again, by Myanmar artists, craftsman, teachers, restaurateurs and ex-pats that the calls for sanctions and
the tourism boycotts hurt the general population—not the Government."


Enjoy.
