Myanmar
Overview
After decades of military rule, Myanmar is trying to find its path forward. Yangon’s streets have gold temples with tea shops where people discuss politics in whispers. Most folks get around by bus or motorbike, monks walk barefoot for morning alms, and markets buzz with sellers calling out prices. Outside cities, farmers work in rice fields, and hill tribes keep their old ways.
