Myanmar Burma

The countdown is on.

On the 3rd August the 2 of us will be moving to a city with 2 names in a country with 2 names on a contract of 2 years. I thought a map might be a helpful place to start as apparently not everyone knows exactly where this land can be found.

Actually I think the 2 name thing depends on who you are… and perhaps some politics too (which I think wise to steer well clear of here). So, we have bought a one way ticket (yikes) to Yangon, Myanmar… but it is perhaps more commonly referred to as Rangoon, Burma in the UK.

I have not written on this blog for some time, and so some effort on my part may be required to get back into it… especially as I am possibly going to one of the worst places in the world for internet connectivity. However, as I am not on the book of face it seems as good a place as any to jot down any (non politically contentious) rambles and keep anyone who might be vaguely interested up to date with the life and travels of the telford-geers as we head off on our little adventure in the tropics.
