A rose by any other name and Vientiane

I recently worked on an introductory article on Yangon for a4trip.com. I found it difficult to address tourism in Burma, but decided to do my best to show respect for their delicate situation and not to ignore the issues involved.


I also wrote an article on Vientiane, where you can find an arch modeled after Paris' Arc de Triomphe that some call "a concrete monstrosity".
