Thousands of ancient temples, sacred stupas, Buddhist monks, pristine lakes, night markets and political prisoners. Travelling to strife-torn, poverty-stricken Myanmar (Burma) presents a dilemma. The international community shuns the human-rights abusing military regime, but its people are friendly, gentle, eager to learn and undeserving of their plight.To get under the skin of Myanmar read, Paul Theroux's 'The Great Railway Bazaar', watch 'The Burmese Harp' by Kon Ichikawa and listen to the sounds of Zaw Win Htut.
