Myanmar (myan-MARi/miɑːnˈmɑːr/ mee-ahn-MAR,/miˈɛnmɑːr/ mee-EN-mar or /maɪˈænmɑːr/ my-AN-mar (also with the stress on first syllable); Burmese pronunciation: [mjəmà]), officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and also known as Burma, is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia bordered by Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. One-third of Myanmar's total perimeter of 1,930 km (1,200 miles) forms an uninterrupted coastline along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The country's 2014 census revealed a much lower population than expected, with 51 million people recorded. Myanmar is 676,578 square kilometres (261,227 sq mi) in size. Its capital city is Naypyidaw and its largest city is Yangon (Rangoon).
Early civilisations in Myanmar included the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Pyu city-states in Upper Burma and the Mon kingdoms in Lower Burma. In the 9th century, the Bamar people entered the upper Irrawaddy valley and, following the establishment of the Pagan Kingdom in the 1050s, the Burmese language, culture and Theravada Buddhism slowly became dominant in the country. The Pagan Kingdom fell due to the Mongol invasions and several warring states emerged. In the 16th century, reunified by the Taungoo Dynasty, the country was for a brief period the largest empire in the history of Southeast Asia. The early 19th century Konbaung Dynasty ruled over an area that included modern Myanmar and briefly controlled Manipur and Assam as well. The British conquered Myanmar after three Anglo-Burmese Wars in the 19th century and the country became a British colony. Myanmar became an independent nation in 1948, initially as a democratic nation and then, following a coup d'état in 1962, a military dictatorship. While the military dictatorship formally ended in 2011, most of the party leaders are former military officers.

Thai/English A potent and potentially lethal form of heroin may be about to hit the world market. It's apparently being produced in jungle factories in Burma and is already making a mark in villages across the border in Thailand. Scores of Thai addicts are said to have collapsed after taking it - and unconfirmed reports say some have died. In a hill tribe village, near Mae Chan, in Northern Thailand, an ethnic Akha woman prepares a two U-S dollar fix of heroin. In these remote parts it's such a common sight no-one appears to give it a second glance. 34-year-old Jeler's habit has already given her AIDS. Now it could pose a new danger. The heroin in her syringe is said to be up to twice the usual strength. Called "999" it's low quality and is possibly ...

Myanmar is a land of golden pagodas in which rivers, paddy fields and Buddhism dominate the lives of this country’s people who are made up of a variety of ethnic groups.

Myanmar aka Burma! A beautiful tropical country with stunning Pagoda's to see and wonderful people to meet. Myanmar sits between Bangladesh, China and Thailand. Myanmar only recently opened up to tourism 2012 and is a hidden gem. If you are thinking about your next place to visit, I highly recommend checking out this incredible country. However, keep in mind that even though it's a rather hot and humid climate, you need to try to keep your shoulders and knees covered out of respect for the more conservative culture. Here are my top 5 tips for visiting Myanmar! 1) Don't drink the water! It's still a developing country and the water can cause unpleasant digestive issues for a foreigner. Even at hotels, do not drink any water that does not come from a sealed water bottle. You'll thank me...

Visiting Burma is much easier than it was even just a few years ago. The days of needing to take perfect dollar notes and nothing else are gone. Hope this guide gives you some ideas about what to do, what to expect. It's a fascinating place - but take care crossing the roads.
We fly into Yangon, formerly Rangoon, Myanmar (formerly Burma) to see the sights. Despite the horrendous traffic of downtown, we still find a whole lot to enjoy about this upcoming Asian destination.
Bagan is a place like no other in the world. I've been here twice and both times, I was captivated by it and surprised by all the details I missed the last time. Over 2,200 abandoned pagodas spread out over the orange-yellowish landscape that is the plain of Bagan. Biking is my preferred mode of transportation which allowed me access to some very remote temples with ease. Not to mention, this place is probably one of the most beautiful place in the world to watch a sunrise. See in the video for yourself. :) In this particular video, I experimented on many new techniques I learned over the past few days from motion tracking to speed ramping and sound design. Possibly the longest I've spent doing a video to date. I hope I did not overuse the speed ramping technique since I think it fits in...
Updated: Made the video a little more concise and the music a little bit more interesting and not repetitive. Take a deep breath and go on a journey around South East Asia through leech-infested jungles, abandoned temples, and colorful coral reefs. It was a 2 months trip that gone by so fast, like taking one deep breath. This is no ordinary "inspiring" travel video. For this, I decided to go with a much more fun and action-packed style instead of the usual go-to "inspirational" travel style that I like to do.. and a delicious "disco" music. Everything is better with disco music. :) I also experimented on many ways of shooting and framing and I think most of the footages came out really well. I spent 2 months traveling around Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia with...

Bagan [Pagan] is a dream, Bagan is unique. Bagan is so magical that words fail to describe the place. Looked from the terrace of a temple at sunset, when the light caresses its 2000 and some monuments, the site seems unreal, like something out of a dream.» Le guide du Routard. We loved our 4 days in Bagan in Juanary 1014. After a 20 hours trip by train from Yangon, we arrived at Bagan. as soon as possible, we started visiting the beautiful temples, monastries and Pagodas.

WHY A TOUR IN ASIA? Attracted both by the beauty of Asia, we left our jobs to realise our dream: launch an online travel guide, while traveling six months through Asia. We already much traveled the world but we chose finally this continent because we always have lived strong and memorable experiences there. We defined our route following the dry seasons of each country. Eh yes! We studied tourism management and we are therefore very rigorous in the organization of a trip. This project gave a real goal to this trip: to discover even more, even further, limitless. After a few months, we found ourselves completely free of any prior, completely off the beaten tracks and we become true adventurers. And it is there, you really feel the joy, the pride of all the emotions experienced. It's crazy,...
Obama, oh Burma, visit this country and you will fall in love with Burma or Myanmar. This video was taken in May 2013 and covers Rangon, Mandalay, Pyin Oo Lwin, Kalaw, Inle Lake, Bagan. Enjoy watching. Credits to: Delorean - "Stay Close" and The Kyoto Connection - "Reveal the magic"
RANGOON: Today, even after fifty years of neglect, with many decaying edifices, broken footpaths, and whirring generators to combat frequent power failures, there’s no mistaking the remaining strong British influences, mixed with sidewalk vendors and food stalls at every turn. PAGODAS: In Yangon, we visit the Schwedagon Pagoda to watch the sun set and to see the sixty tons of glistening pure gold covering the ‘bell’ of the main stupa change colour. And then in Mandalay, It’s not too much of a burden sitting on the top deck of ‘The Road to Mandalay’ cruiser in the open-air, taking of the breakfast buffet, and looking out over the river to the pagodas atop 37 hilltops. MARKETS: At 3,000 feet In Nyaungshwe, the jetty-town for Inle Lake, where it is so much cooler than sweltering Yangon, we...
6 Ways You Can Give to Nepal Earthquake Relief http://time.com/3836242/nepal-earthquake-donations-disaster-relief/ ========= Justin and I managed to squeeze in several hikes during our week-long stay in Nepal in December of 2015. Despite the winter season being in full swing (and we are folks from a tropical country who never experience this kind of weather back at home!) we still spent majority of our time outdoors. The Nagarkot Panoramic Hike (2 hours) took us in and out of villages surrounding Nagarkot, a 2000 MASL hilltown 1-1/2 hours away from Kathmandu. As the activity suggests, the hike was a leisurely walk along the Nagarkot ridge with open views of the Langtang Range, Manaslu, Dorje Lhakpa and the Central Nepal / Himalayan Range. We got info on this hike from Kyarol Dhoju of P...
She had a bad childhood when she was very young
So don't judge her too badly
She had a schizophrenic mother who worked in the gutter
And would have sold herself to the devil, gladly
What a sad environment
A bug ridden tenement
And when they couldn't pay the rent
It was 'cause her father was out
Getting liquored
Oh, the stone's been cast
And blood's thicker than water
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
Yeah the sins of the family fall on the daughter
At the age of 16 she had been around more
Than any girl over 30
And the high I.Q's who condemned her
Knew she's a product of poor heredity
It's a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
You can backtrack failure with inspection, without exemption
All the sins of the family fall on the daughter
Yeah the sins of the family fall on the daughter
Oh, the devil is open to all of us
Heaven selects a precious few
And it takes some inside pull to get Gabriel
To make an angel of you
One can't live a lie then expect to die
With a soul in paradise
You know you gotta pay the price
Like you oughtta
Blood's thicker than water
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
