AKA Myanmar
Burma
Burma, also in Southeast Asia, gets its own section not only because it stands out visually from the rest of Asia, but to highlight the situation there. Although Aung San Suu Kyi is now free to travel, there is still a huge population in Burma in desperate need of many of the basic freedoms we take for granted. Change is slowly taking place in Burma, and continued pressure by US citizens to their state Senators voicing their concerns over human rights abuses in Burma really does make a difference!
