Myanmar, formally called Burma, is a country in southeast Asia bordered by Bangladesh and India to the west, by China to the north, and by Laos and Thailand to the east. The country has been under military control since a coup in 1962, but is starting to implement democratic changes and emerge from isolation. It was visited by President Obama in November of 2012 in recognition of the changes that have taken place. Because it was cut off from the rest of the world for many decades the country has been able to preserve its culture better than many other countries. During this trip we visited Yangon (formerly Rangoon), Mandalay, Bagan, and the region around Inle Lake.
The program is divided into three sections: an introduction; a presentation on Buddhism, practiced by an estimated 89% of the population; and a section on the people of Myanmar who were friendly and very accepting of tourists. This multimedia, storytelling program contains about 250 still images and video clips. These are blended with music, live narration, and locally recorded sounds to bring a visit to this wonderful country to life.
Myanmar: Unlike Any Land You Know About explores the country of Myanmar (formally called Burma). Four areas are included: Yangon (formally Rangoon), Mandalay, Bagan, and Inle Lake. This multimedia, story telling program contains about 250 still images and video clips.
