Burma

From SgWiki

Burma or Myanmar is a closed Country where very few travelers venture there. Partly due to its Miltary Government which kind of freighten everyone from going there. One can feel like going to a country where one is held hostage to all kind of services. Of course the people are very friendly.

• Internet connections are very rare in Burma, <less than 30,000 in a country of over 48 millions> partly for reasons of poverty but mostly because of the military regime's harsh crackdown on freedom of expression. As in Cuba and North Korea, the Internet frightens the authorities, who keep it out of the hands of their subjects. So it is growing very slowly, with the opening of only a handful of cybercafés and assignment of a few thousand e-mail addresses, all under tight surveillance.
