    Myanmar Embassy

    19 A Charles Street,
    London W1J 5DX

    Telephone: +44 [0]207 499 8841

    Unless you are planning on going over to volunteer you may have trouble getting in or around. The place looks leveled. You seen how long it took New Orleans to get back to normal and that is in one of the richest countries in the world. Burma is one of the poorest.

    The north east of India is very similar to Burma. Places like Assam and Megalaya. If you wanted to see that kind of place that might do it for ya.

    Burma appears to have been truly devastated by the cyclone. I really don't think this would be a good time to go visiting.

    It will take a long time for things to get back to normal in Burma - when i say normal, that may be misleading - i mean before the Cyclone

    From a purely practical point of view, getting around is tough at the best of times in Burma so now that the little internal infrastructure they had is destroyed, getting from one place to another would be next to impossible
