Myanmar/Beautiful Myanmar: Highlights 2014 (HD) Part 43
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Myanmar (Burma)
Since 1992, the government has encouraged tourism in the country; however, fewer than 270,000 tourists entered the country in 2006 according to the Myanmar Tourism Promotion Board. Burma's Minister of Hotels and Tourism Saw Lwin has stated that the government receives a significant percentage of the income of private sector tourism services.
The most popular available tourist destinations in Burma include big cities such as Yangon and Mandalay; religious sites in Mon State, Pindaya, Bago and Hpa-An; nature trails in Inle Lake, Kengtung, Putao, Pyin Oo Lwin; ancient cities such as Bagan and Mrauk-U; as well as beaches in Ngapali, Ngwe-Saung, Mergui. Nevertheless much of the country is off-limits to tourists, and interactions between foreigners and the people of Burma, particularly in the border regions, are subject to police scrutiny. They are not to discuss politics with foreigners, under penalty of imprisonment and, in 2001, the Myanmar Tourism Promotion Board issued an order for local officials to protect tourists and limit unnecessary contact between foreigners and ordinary Burmese people.
The only way for travelers to enter the country seems to be by air.According to the website Lonely Planet, getting into Burma (Myanmar) is problematic: No bus or train service connects Myanmar with another country, nor can you travel by car or motorcycle across the border -- you must walk across., and states that, It is not possible for foreigners to go to/from Myanmar by sea or river. They do say that there are a small number of border crossings, but that these are limiting in that they do not allow travel into the country You can cross from Ruili (China) to Mu-se, but not leave that way. From Mae Sai (Thailand) you can cross to Tachileik, but can only go as far as Kengtung. Those in Thailand on a visa run can cross to Kawthaung but cannot venture farther into Myanmar.
Flights are available from most countries, though direct flights are limited to mainly Thai and other ASEAN airlines. According to Eleven magazine, In the past, there were only 15 international airlines and increasing numbers of airlines have began launching direct flights from Japan, Qatar, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany and Singapore. Expansions were expected in September 2013, but yet again are mainly Thai and other Asian based airlines according to Eleven Media Group's Eleven, Thailand-based Nok Air and Business Airlines and Singapore-based Tiger Airline.
Burma is home to four major language families: Sino-Tibetan, Tai--Kadai, Austro-Asiatic, and Indo-European. Sino-Tibetan languages are most widely spoken. They include Burmese, Karen, Kachin, Chin, and Chinese. The primary Tai--Kadai language is Shan. Mon, Palaung, and Wa are the major Austroasiatic languages spoken in Burma. The two major Indo-European languages are Pali, the liturgical language of Theravada Buddhism, and English.Wikipedia

NGWE SAUNG BEACH - MYANMAR TRAVEL TIPS
If you prefer amazing beaches that are less commercialized and crowded than most beach destinations in Southeast Asia, discover Ngwe Saung Beach in Myanmar!!
Unlike Myanmar’s better-known beach at Ngapali, which is serviced by nearby Thandwe Airport, the only way to get to Ngwe Saung beach is a 4-5 hour drive from Yangon. The drive is rough with poor road conditions, limited visibility at night and is impassible during the wet season (May/June through early October). Most international visitors opt for a short 1-hour flight to Ngapali rather than a rough 4-5 hour drive to Ngwe Saung beach. However, Ngwe Saung has a good range of hotels that cater to all budgets and overall is a cheaper beach vacation than many similar beach destinations in SE Asia. The water is warm, the sand is clean, the surf is gentle, the sunsets are amazing, and the seafood is inexpensive, fresh, and delicious. One of the highlights for Alex is collecting hermit crabs in his sand bucket and then releasing them to see the pattern of trails they create as they scatter for freedom in every direction.
TRAVEL TIPS:
TIP #1
Hire a Yangon driver and vehicle. It’s about a 4 ½ - 5 hour drive. There are no English road signs! Your car navigation/ GPS will not work. Never drive in the dark. Road conditions are poor with lots of obstacles and very limited visibility.
TIP #2
Bring your own stuff. You probably won’t find your favorite trusted sunscreen or other personal items in the local town shops.
TIP #3
Do catch a FIRE DANCE!! It’s a high-energy show. There are several to choose from. Just ask your hotel for details.
TIP #4
Don’t be afraid to eat the delicious, fresh seafood. And get ready to enjoy some spectacular sunsets!!

Burma - The Road To Mandalay [Part 2/2]
Burma, also known as Myanmar, has long been closed off to the scrutiny of the outside world.
You've always been able to travel there as a tourist, albeit with restrictions, but with the leading opposition figure Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest for much of the past couple of decades, and her calls for tourists to boycott Burma, relatively few made the journey.
It was certainly off the menu for journalists and camera crews. The only way in for them was to pose as a tourist and use a small camera. Asking ordinary Burmese about their real feelings was just too dangerous for most, as it could lead to imprisonment for those speaking out.
For years the place has been ruled by a corrupt military junta that brutally suppressed all opposition, used forced labour and imprisoned thousands for their political views. Their main ally and investor has been neighbouring China, which has an eye on Burma's many resources, including oil, gas, timber, gemstones and minerals.
But recently -- and suddenly -- things have changed. After elections that most observers regarded as a total sham, the new government made a series of surprise announcements. It released Aung San Suu Kyi, suspended a hugely unpopular dam project with China, freed thousands of prisoners and signed peace pacts with a number of warring ethnic groups. Even Hillary Clinton dropped in for a visit, hot on the heels of diplomats from countries all over the western world who are hoping they might be able to lift economic sanctions.
For a country that's been under military dictatorship for the past 50 years, it's heady stuff, and no-one really knows what to make of it all.
The ABC's Zoe Daniel has been covering it all, with growing amazement and excitement. Now finally, she and her cameraman David Leland, have been given an official visa and relative freedom to take a trip through Burma, filming openly and talking to the people.
It doesn't go entirely to plan, and it's clear that pronouncements from on high about journalistic freedoms don't necessarily filter down to officials on the ground -- but it's certainly a start.
From the shabby but atmospheric old colonial capital of Rangoon (now Yangon), to the bizarre new North Korean-style capital Naypyitaw, the breathtaking ancient temple town of Bagan and the throbbing commercial hub of Mandalay -- Daniel and her crew roam far and wide.
On the way they meet ordinary folk, and score a remarkably frank interview with a Presidential advisor. He fesses up to the sins of the past, and insists that Burma is now heading in a new direction. It's hard to judge the truth of that, but at the very least, we can now go there and see for ourselves.

I recently got the incredible opportunity to fly over to Yangon, Myanmar and play the lead female role in a music video. Whilst there we decided to use the opportunity to have a few days holiday in Ngapali Beach, a mere hour flight away. Here is some footage from our adventure to the elephant camp which was quite the adventures, involving a van, boat ride, elephant trek through the jungle and finishing off by bathing with elephants.

Myanmar The Golden Rock at the top of Mt Kyaiktiyo
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, also known as Golden Rock, is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State, Myanmar. It is a small pagoda (7.3 metres (24 ft)) built on the top of a granite boulder covered with gold leaves pasted on by devotees. According to legend, the Golden Rock itself is precariously perched on a strand of the Buddha's hair. The balancing rock seems to defy gravity, as it perpetually appears to be on the verge of rolling down the hill. The rock and the pagoda are at the top of Mt. Kyaiktiyo. It is the third most important Buddhist pilgrimage site in Burma after the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Mahamuni Pagoda. A glimpse of the gravity defying Golden Rock is believed to be enough of an inspiration for any person to turn to Buddhism.

Over the last few days, I'd tried to buy a train ticket out of Yangon to a city called Mawlamyine, but all the trains were fully booked for the big Thadingyut Festival. So I decided to stay in Yangon for the festival, and that meant moving to a new hotel in a different part of town. Luckily, the festival celebrations take place all over the city, and an entire nearby market street was closed down just for the Festival of Lights.
Since it was the Festival of Lights, most of the activities took place after dark. During the day, I went to the train station to try again to buy a ticket. And I dropped by the famous Bogyoke Aung San Market - a must-visit spot for all tourists passing through Yangon who are in need of some souvenirs and gifts to take home.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Myanmar (English pronunciation below; Burmese: [mjəmà]), officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and also known as Burma, is a country in Southeast Asia. Myanmar is bordered by India and Bangladesh to its west, Thailand and Laos to its east and China to its north and northeast. Myanmar is the largest of the mainland Southeast Asian states.To its south, about one third of Myanmar's total perimeter of 5,876 km (3,651 mi) forms an uninterrupted coastline of 1,930 km (1,200 mi) along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The country's 2014 census counted the population to be 51 million people. As of 2017, the population is about 54 million. Myanmar is 676,578 square kilometres (261,228 square miles) in size. Its capital city is Naypyidaw, and its largest city and former capital is Yangon (Rangoon). Myanmar has been a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 1997.
Early civilisations in Myanmar included the Tibeto-Burman-speaking Pyu city-states in Upper Burma and the Mon kingdoms in Lower Burma. In the 9th century, the Bamar people entered the upper Irrawaddy valley and, following the establishment of the Pagan Kingdom in the 1050s, the Burmese language, culture and Theravada Buddhism slowly became dominant in the country. The Pagan Kingdom fell due to the Mongol invasions and several warring states emerged. In the 16th century, reunified by the Taungoo dynasty, the country was for a brief period the largest empire in the history of Mainland Southeast Asia. The early 19th century Konbaung dynasty ruled over an area that included modern Myanmar and briefly controlled Manipur and Assam as well. The British took over the administration of Myanmar after three Anglo-Burmese Wars in the 19th century and the country became a Britis ...
The Line
Arch Flanagan, 91, is a retired school teacher. In 1943, as a sergeant in the Australian Army, he was forced to labor on the infamous Burma Railway upon which it is said, that one man died for every sleeper laid.
In the 50 years since, Arch has written four separate pieces reflecting on the experience -- two short stories, a memoir and an obituary for his commanding officer, Sir Edward Weary Dunlop.
Martin Flanagan is a poet, writer and journalist and is the fourth of Arch's six children.
'The Line' is a dual drama -- one is an elderly man's reflection on the peak experience of his life. The other story is the son's relationship with that experience, the way it has shaped him and the line he takes in his writing life.
