Burma or Myanmar / Rangoon or Yangon.

Here I just want to do something in memory of those died in Burmese monks' protest these days. Personally, I feel it's a very different pretest since it's in a country with 80-90% Buddhist in population. Anyway, hope Aung San Suu Kyi can still play an important part in Burmese democracy and its peace.

As for the answer, according to BBC, this country is known as Myanmar which is recognised by the United Nations, and by countries such as France and Japan. But United States and the UK. doesn't recognize the legitimacy of the regime that changed the name. That's why we can see both names of this country appears in the news.

Similarly and in the meantime of the ruling military junta's changes, Rangoon also became Yangon.

Preface

I have received overwhelming complain about not updating this blog these days. I also noticed that my visitor-counting map was rebooted since it passed 1 year of my registration. Hey, guys( or gals?)! I have to say I have always been surprised to see you log into my blog from various part of the world. Hawaii? Cambodia? Colombia? I don't remember I have friends there. If you happen to see this blog, please feel free to drop a line. and I PROMISE I WILL UPDATE MY TRIPS TO BRAZIL(MAY) AND PESCADORES(SEP) in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, I uploaded a pic of mine which was taking in my trip to Pescadores 2 weeks ago. Hope you enjoy it.
