What does that mean? It means that the travelling that they did didn't support the current government. In fact, all the places that they frequented were by the opposition. Besides, I doubt that I will have time at the end of the year to go to Burma, especially considering that I need to be in Calgary around the 1st week of December. <BR/><BR/>More importantly, I do apologise for the fat kid reference. I used to a be a large kid myself (well, larger than all my cousins). I will refrain from making those sorts of comments even though I am only making statements of previous personal experiences.Veevekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340258110180935080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9983126.post-84356376858855101332007-02-12T13:48:00.000+10:002007-02-12T13:48:00.000+10:00oh, sorry Veevs, I am finding alot of things to co...oh, sorry Veevs, I am finding alot of things to complain about in your entry today. but I also should mention - as a former 'fat kid' I hated the stereotype that made people think that I overindulged in food (ie: kitkats). In fact, with my friends would all eat the same stuff ... but I would be the only one that would gain weight ... and then I would be so so so shy to eat in public, because I assumed that people would be thinking that I was overeating or 'pigging out' it was horrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9983126.post-47875830469195746932007-02-12T13:43:00.000+10:002007-02-12T13:43:00.000+10:00Don't go to Myanmar.

I'm not saying that for you, I am saying it because Aung San Suu Kii requests that Western tourists shouldn't come to Burma - tourism fuels the military there ... except Westerners think its 'adventurous' and 'kitchy' to go to Myanmar. That's why alot of human rights people protested Lonely Planet - because they put a travel guide to Myanmar on the market. Bono and I would be very disappointed if you went to Myanmar. But Brunei, have a great time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
