@HappyWorldMovie

Really enjoyed the documentary HappyWorldMovie. You should come here again now when Myanmar is starting to open up. Some things are starting to change. You should do a contrast video!

Pothole road, sim card with sky rocketed price, very old used car, very dirty and worn out currency notes, very old building. Is that all do u want to point out? C'mon, this is the world's one of poorest country. You are finding the poor thing in the poorest country. Do you ever find the reason behind of why that country is poor? Be grown up and behave like grown up..!

It is okay to document the real daily life of our people. But don't try to create nonsense stories and blend it in. Obviously, Myanmar is poor country surviving in the middle of all western sanctions, selling all resources to Vampire China and giving away some share of resources to those broker ASEAN countries too. And local war is still going on with the ethnic groups who getting support from US in the disguise of NGO.

what the heck !! Myanmar is the second producer of the opium in the country?

What document did you refer to make such a ridiculous comment? The small pipe is not opium pipe by the way. The elder Burmese used that little pipe to smoke tobacco, you so-called bloody idiot reporter !! And yes, that big pipe was used to smoke opium in Shan state very very long time ago. You can find same kind of this pipe for same purpose in all Asian countries espe in China.

@DukeOfNyx Funny.... my relatives don't see the situation getting better for the civilian population of Burma. Then again.... they're not part of the military regime. As a person from Burma, I assure you that this is a good depiction of how horrible my homeland has become thanks to the greedy Generals. Anyways, great documentary! My family appreciates the accurate representation of life in Burma!
