Did they really read the entire book? This travel guide is overflowing with information and new perspectives of looking at --- and enjoying your trip to --- Myanmar. It´s such a shame that Myanmar (get over calling it ´Burma´ everybody; that´s a name that the Colonialist British bestowed upon the country, and is no longer what most of the locals call their country) continues to be subject to sanctions and travel boycotts. Those who have visited Myanmar, including the contributors to this book, will tell you that the experience was profound. Looking beyond the politics, this is a country that is incredible. These are a people that are worthy of your time, worthy of visiting, and worthy of befriending. And I think that message resonates loud and clear in most of these essays. These stories are ostensibly about travel, but they transcend that; they are about life and generosity and kindness. And yes, believe or not travellers can find those things in Myanmar. This book is a real eye opener, and FULL of NEW insight and tips on where to discover new places and experiences. Highly recommended!. And summed up by saying open your eyes.
