Burmese Ways

After becoming independent in 1948 it was called the Union of Burma. In 1974 it became the Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma. It went back to the Union of Burma in 1988. Since 1989 it's been the Union of Myanmar. One constant has been the capital: Rangoon. Very recently, though, they've changed that as well. Naypyidaw is the Union of Myanmar's capital city as of this moment.

I'm spent.

I confess Daniel, I'm disappointed with this posting... It feels as though it was written from some common computer in a "fishbowl" like setting... Were people watching you while you were typing? Your factual style makes me think you were under some kind of duress...
