Burma is well known for the wrong reasons! Burma is a beautiful country and given a chance to live there, I would pack my bags and go!
The reason Burma is not well known is because of an idiot called General Ne Win who was advised by other idiots to overthrow the then Prime Minister U Nu and run the country like a dictator! Burma was in those days a self sufficient country enjoying a much better standard of living than say India or Thailand. The Brits always had a soft corner for Burma.

Burma is a small country, just beside West Bengal State (India).
If we consider ancient India it was also a part of India, Now the Burma is a undeldeveloped country and it is developing at a very slow pace, there are no much industries, or any specific tourist place, So, the Burma is not well known.

Hi. My boyfriend is going to Burma in February. I can't go with him because of my job, but when I saw pictures of Buddhist temples and everything else I'm so sad I can't go with him. It is just not fair. I want to go to Burma as well!!!

Like everywhere else it became factionalised after independence. By the way it is Myanmar these days. But I can tell you, it is one helluva beautiful country, with beautiful people in it. Pity about the army though......

I read somewhere it was under military rule,i guess the military would want to keep the doors closed to satisfy there insecure frame of mind..but i guess that rule doesn't apply to other military ruled country.

Because they have confused everyone by renaming it Myanmar?
