Has anyone been to Burma recently? Would like to hear about your experiences there.

I guess not many people travel to Myanmar these days. Too bad. I was there about 15 years ago for a couple days. Awesome hilltribes in the north.

Been there last year 2003 will return in a month it is fantastic. The regime is oppressive but the people are great. One american dollar is around 800kcat on the black market in comparison to 1 - 6 kcat at the airport or government bureau. Complete teak hotels with wonderful breakfasts going for 10$us for a double. Pretty awesome.
ciao for now
