161. Burma Personal account of burma from Canadian journalist Scott Murray. http://www.scottmurray.com/Burma.htm

ON THE ROAD TO FIND OUT by " Torture seems out of place in a country so imbued with the Buddha's compassionate teachings ." - Joel Swerdlow National Geographic I came to South-East Asia in 1990 but I did not travel to Burma, yes B-U-R-M-A, until a couple of months ago. I think I was scared I would have a good time, and my bleeding heart liberal consciousness couldn't justify that given the atrocities perpetuated by the heinous Burmese junta. Guess what? I was right. I did have a good time, I loved the country and I still don't like SLORC. I set off on my journey with two fellow Canadians. Brad, an early fortiesh postie from Toronto who I had met backpacking through Costa Rica many years ago; and Wally a spry seventy-six year old retired Canadian Pacific Railway employee whom I had met on Khao San Road a number of years back. We were told that we were going to have to cash US$300 on arrival into the equivalent of Burmese FEC's. But a friend of mine, John Hall, had been able to bluff his way past Burmese Customs Officials on his last trip and didn't have to change his money. So eager with anticipation we launched into our bluff. But we were all denied and sent to the currency counter. Sighing heavily Brad and I forked over $US300 each (we were able to get Wally in free under the `traveling with grandpa clause.') So much for our budget. Basically this meant that we had to take a domestic flight (I wanted to see P-A-G-A-N anyway) unless we wanted to buy a lot of lacquerwear.

Prospective travellers should monitor events in Myanmar and weigh up the arguments in support of and opposition to travel. Should you go to Myanmar? The decision as to whether or not to travel to Myanmar is best made after an appraisal of the pros and cons of such a visit. Reasons Not to Go: Aung San Suu Kyi has asked tourists not to; the government used forced labour to ready tourist-related sights and services; international tourism can be seen as a stamp of approval to the Myanmar government; the government forbids travel to many areas, particularly in areas inhabited by minority groups; it's impossible to visit without some money going to the military junta (visa, departure fee, tax on purchases); and Activists claim that tourism dollars fuel government repression directly.

Burma is rich in natural resources, with a young population and a high number of English speakers. From The U.S. State Department web site "..The Burmese economic situation is grim and appears to be worsening. The government is reportedly virtually bankrupt with regard to foreign exchange reserves, holding less than the amount required to cover one month's import purchasing. In March, the regime cut to three the number of banks in the entire country allowed to process transactions involving foreign exchange, all central government-affiliated. The military junta continues to dominate the political, economic and social life of the country in the same oppressive, heavy-handed way that it has since seizing power in September 1988 after harshly suppressing massive pro-democracy demonstrations..."
