I say go to Burma, but be careful who you give your money to. As a priveledged Westerner (meaning I had money and internet access), even I felt isolated from the world when I lived there. I cannot imagine how the residents of Burma would feel if no outsiders came to visit their country to witness and spread the word about their current situation of oppression. Living in such censorship is so damaging to society. The Burmese need outside contact! I am on Aung San Suu Kyi’s side, but I disagree with her saying that tourists should not visit Burma. Only the un-informed tourists should stay away because they end up giving money to the military regime. The concientious tourist will ensure their money goes directly to the people who need it so badly!
