Visited Burma with Google Earth.
Because of their cry for help, Burma has been at the top of the nation’s attention span for an unusually long time. As I have listened to the reports on Canadian and US radio, it occurred to me how little I know about the country past Kipling, Orwell and The Oxford History of the World Atlas.
After going through the Wikipedia articles on the country I thought it would be a good idea to get a better idea of the physicality of Mandalay and Rangoon, (Yangon) to follow the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to Rangoon. Touching on the spots representing submitted photos, I got the tourist eyed view of the trip down the river.
This was not intended to teach me about the current “Saffron Revolution”. It was to show me more about what the place looks like, who are its neighbors and its general place in the world.
It was worth the trip.
