Burma

Burma (Myanmar)
http://www.flyingmonk.com/myanmar.html
Myanmar is one of the most photogenic countries in SE Asia. The Land of Golden Spires smiles to you from every corner and the religious fervor that goes all the way to the ruthless generals makes it shine. Everybody is building gilded stupas hoping, a Buddhist belief, to gain merit and improve their accumulated bad karma.
We visited the temple spotted plane in Bagan built in about 200 years, representing the peak of the Burmese kingdom. Latter, we moved east to Shan State and visited the villages, markets and religious places of the hill-tribes the populate the region around Innle Lake, an area full of traditions where you have the feeling that time stood still. We continued to Mandalay, a 19th century capital city surrounded by the ancient capital cities of Sagaing, Inwa, Amarapura and Mingun. From there we stop in Bago and went to Mt. Kyaiktiyo, the most important pilgrimage place in the country, to visit and pray at the Golden Rock. We ended our tour admiring in awe Shwedagon Paya, the most important religious place in the country, located in the present capital, Yangon (Rangoon).
Watch our video and you'll never forget these places.

I will always love Burma, my second home. After living here for 5 years. Knowing, accepting and loving the people has led me to rediscover myself. I consider Burma as my sanctuary. It's just a pity that this country was plunged into poverty because of economic mismanagement. Once touted as the most prosperous nation in ASIA but will always be undoubtedly the richest country in the ASEAN region. I will always have a heart for Burma. Thank you, Burma.

Every foreign county's foreign policy (actually all policies) should be aim at human right as highest main concern. Shamefully, China, India and a few other neighbors are still not able to support the truth and democracy because they would not make so much ILLEGALE MONEY with open minded educated people and government. I am not sure whether you are even an Indian or other foreigner but I need your help to tell the world that Burma only has one rebel murder group.

I've posted four brief (2:37) slideshows from my 2008 trip to Burma covering Rangoon (Yangon), Mandalay area, Pagan (Bagan), and Inle Lake. Each, with 50 photos, is under the title "50Fotos." Click on my name to get to my channel.

Nice film...some indigenous Shan or Kachin folk music as background would have been a better selection, but hey? It's nice anyway...just some feedback...in essence the film and the indigenous cultures of Burma are (thankfully) almost devoid of western commercialism - so why have you branded the entire film with a "Flying Monks" logo in the centre bottom right of the vid? You are capitalising on indigenous and traditional cultures for your own commercial gain and notoriety of your own brand. STOP

Shame how The Burmese people, the ruling elite military classes have destroyed their own country and stolen all the wealth from their own people..

I am going to Burma as a tourist to visit the people and let them know that they are not alone in this cruel world. Many world powers have kiled hundreds of millions of fellow humans over the last century but we still buy their goods and watch their movies and visit their countries as tourists. Burmese people need not be isolated. Military powers control the world around us.

because they teach it in all the schools and basically drill it into them!
