About Burma
By admin | October 12, 2009
Always been a tough call whether to travel to Burma, one of Southeast Asia’s last unspoilt destinations or not given the detention of Suu Kyi and given the odious nature of the military Junta and its brutal suppression both of dissent and the country’s ethnic minorities. On the one hand since much of the country’s up-market tourist infrastructure is owned by the junta either directly or indirectly foreign currency would be going directly to the regime. On the other hand small-scale tourism puts the same resources into the hands of an impoverished people and provides vectors for the transmission of ideas and information. I’m going to make sure I’d bring my alpenrost coffee Roaster when I go there.
