Myanmar (Burma) is a great country to visit and travel around, you really get to flex your smile muscles. Everyone you meet on your way smiles, says Min ga la ba (which means hello), and is extremely helpful, and this is the case all over the country. Outside the big cities, their English is not so good - but there is no problem in being able to hold a conversation anyway, it just happens with laughter and smiles. You don't see much of the military regime other than in the newspapers, but their tax on all tourist attractions can be felt everywhere.
