I’m not going to use the current situation to promote my portfolio, but I’ve been thinking a lot about Myanmar lately, wondering what its near future holds, and honestly worrying about it… Because I was there before the democratic reforms, by the end of the military rule (has it ever ended?), my memories from there are a country that was closed and being held back by its ruling class. I remember clearly being surveilled, I remember people talking about the “Lady” quietly to me (who turned out to a disappointment). I have so many fond memories from there, and I think on returning there so often, but I’m not looking forward seeing Myanmar going back to what it was back then, even if it means an “unspoiled” and “authentic” country…
