Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

Docteur Isaac, chirurgien pour Médecins Sans Frontières à l'hôpital général de Mweso, à la frontière entre les territoires de Masisi et Rutshuru, dans la province du Nord-Kivu, en République démocratique du Congo, consulte un patient le 7 février 2017.Il y a trois ans, ce motard a été attaqué par des hommes armés sur la route reliant Mweso à Goma. “Ils m'ont arréte, m'ont tout pris, puis, sans raison, m'ont tiré dans la jambe et ont tué mes deux clients”. Des complications ont entrainé une nécrose osseuse. / Doctor Isaac, surgeon for Médecins Sans Frontières at the General Hospital of Mweso, situated at the border between the Masisi and Rutshuru territories in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is consulting a patient on February 7th, 2017. Three years ago, this motorcycle driver was attacked by armed men on the road between Mweso and Goma. "They stopped me, took everything away, then, without reason, shoot me in the leg and killed my two clients." Complications resulted in bone necrosis.
Different shelters set up throughout the exhibit represent the diversity between different refugee camps. The tent at right is an example of what a large agency might set up for refugees. The shelter on the left is modeled after huts typically seen in Colombian refugee camps, which the refugees build themselves from scraps.
A basket was left behind somewhere in the middle on the way up to Mandelay Hill...

In front of actual latrines which, according to Sach, are way nicer than anything you'll actually see in refugee camps
Suite à une césariene, une femme est prise en charge dans le département chirurgie de l'hôpital général de Mweso, géré par Médecins Sans Frontières, à la frontière entre les territoires de Masisi et Rutshuru, dans la province du Nord-Kivu, en République démocratique du Congo, le 7 février 2017. / Following a caesarean section, a woman is taken care of at the surgery department of the General Hospital of Mweso, managed by Médecins Sans Frontières, at the border between the Masisi and Rutshuru territories in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on February 7th, 2017.
This fenced off area of the exhibit showed how cholera victims are handled. In a tent on a cot with a hole in the middle and pumped full of saline solution. I'll spare you the details. Much like the movie The Painted Veil. The victim just has to survive the 72 hours it takes the bacteria to ravage the body. It ain't pretty and prompted me to put a $20 donation in the exhibit collection box. Any group willing to treat cholera in the field like this is a better man/woman than me.
