Off to Myanmar

I thought about going to Myanmar (Burma) for a long time.

Is it ethical? Is it safe? Is it sane?

I decided that as a recent journalism graduate, I had to visit at least one difficult country before I returned to the United States.

I planned on visiting Tibet before the March riots shut it down. Instead, I decided to tackle Burma.

My first stop is Yangon, then I will make my way up to Mandalay.

I will not be able to access my blog until May 11. The Burmese government has a tight hold over the Internet.

Until then read more about Myanmar here.
