Burma, a country that most of us know from the newspapers. battlefield 4 A country that we constantly read about in the newspapers, controlled by the military, which has been closed to tourists for the past 40 years. From 1962 to 2011 the country was ruled by a military junta, under strong international criticism. The first elections in Burma in 20 years were held in November 2010. Despite the country's new parliament and government of January 2011, the country battlefield 4 dominated by representatives with backgrounds from the military junta, they have during 2011 conducted a series of reforms that have led the country in a more democratic battlefield 4 direction. The official name is the Republic of the Union of Myanmar formerly known as Burma. Both names are now used frequently to promote political messages, including using Burma to show opposition to the current military dictatorship, which has officially taken the name Myanmar. That means many of us who believe that the governance of the country is still not the best and oppose our own little way continues to call the country Burma. What expectations did we land we sulle journey? battlefield 4 We had envisaged extreme poverty, and a country that had not "hung up with the times" whatsoever. People who were skeptical of tourists, and without infrastructure which we are accustomed. The surprise was therefore great when we got to the airport and would stamp entry permits in the country (could write a whole blog on that topic to arrange Visa papers in advance) We were greeted by a relaxed bunch on a small office that quite so effectively stamped battlefield 4 all our papers, a bunch of ladies and men who smiled and laughed, joked with our boys and let us through quickly and efficiently. We got in a taxi that was taking us to the center of Mandalay battlefield 4 airport. In the parking lot, it was very quiet and calm, incredibly civilized and a nice car with a decent driver drove us on wide beautiful and completely deserted roads. It was almost a bit strange, it was really battlefield 4 almost no cars on the road and we immediately saw lovely scenery, great architecture with temples everywhere. When we got closer to the city became more focused traffic and we also saw "Norwegian advertising EVERYWHERE! In mid-June 2013, Telenor won the battle to be part supplier (one of two suppliers of mobile networks in Burma) of cellular which should be developed. In 2013 had under six million of the country's 60 million inhabitants cellphone. With the development of cellular hoped the government of Myanmar that 80 percent of the population may be mobile users within three years. Now that we were there towards the end of 2014, we had mobile networks in most places. Telenor advertising was everywhere, on umbrellas on small street restaurants, on private houses along the road, on small fishing boats. Stores that sell mobile phones are obviously big business because we have almost never seen so many shops selling everything from phones iphones two lately by Samsung. Interested? No, not particularly. Burma is "expensive" in Asian sense. The most expensive country (in Asia) we have traveled at least. Another surprise for us ... so now went dagan, surprise surprise and our condemns were confounded again and again.
In the small town Bagan there are around 4000 temples. Temples where roam freely. There are still very few tourists and you can easily find your "own" temple to watch a beautiful sun up or down. There are several companies that offer hot air balloon to experience sun-rise. If you can cough up around . 3500, - per person for 45 min. Unfortunately stretched in our travel budget battlefield 4 for this, but it's still an amazing sight to see the sunrise and all the balloons that silently flying aloft. battlefield 4
