Don't go to Burma.
The political situation is heated up again -
extremist Buddhist 969 groups have been sponsored by junta and attacking Muslims
Two days ago UN Human Rights rapporteur Tomas Ojea Quintana's convoy
was attacked by 200 people in an orchestrated attack reminiscent of May
30, 2003 attack on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (now called Depayin Massacre) --

Meikhtila.
Reporting sparse because 1. Burmese language
overseas media already bought out by junta. 2. international media
still wants to think there is "reform."
If you have made travel plans already, cancel them.
