Burma - what you should know UPDATED

I realize that many do not quite recognize the name as a country in Asia, nevertheless where the heck it is and what is going on in the country. But being of Burmese descent I feel that what I find, I should share and unfortunately it is not pleasant. Burma has been ruled under a military regime for as long as I can remember. Sad and frustrating, the third world living conditions the people live in are oppressive and bleak in a land that was once one of the richest countries in South East Asia. Below is an excellent series of articles and links that give a glimpse into what it is to live in Burma now.

SEPT 25, 2007 UPDATE: There have been recent developements in Burma that bring to mind the events of 1988. Throngs of monks and citiziens have been holding peaceful marches in Yangoon and other cities in Burma. Today I just found out that the government has just imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew in two cities. While my utmost support goes out to the brave protestors, my heart is tight with concern and fear that violence as seen in 1988 is in the horizon. What can we do? The only way to prevent such atrocities is make them visible to the public and mass media. Spread the word and let the world know that military oppression will not be tolerated.

At last the (so called) civilised world seems to be picking up on an issue that some of us have been denouncing for years, namely the plight of the Burmese people, in particular the opposition National League for Democracy, and further the illegal detention of Aung San Suu Kyi. Alas, a country without oil or other plunderable resources seems to warrant little attention (this is not a modern phenomenon) and our global society seems condemned to repeat the mistakes of history. The only people who appear to speak out against such atrocities are the artists and activists. Our friends Pig have uploaded a song in support of burma and its people to their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/1933 its dedicated to all those in favour of humanity and respect for people you may never know. jimmy

Thanks for letting me know Jimmy! We can't let what happened in 1988 happen again. This time around we have a powerful tool in the Internet and Blogging to spread awareness and force the world and the public to know and to acknowledge the atrocities going on in Burma.

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock Carbon Edition[/url] and I am very happy to say that I am pleasantly surprised. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that music out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them up first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Nice...
