Regardless of the fact that there seems to be more politics than critique in the comments, the fact remains that the de facto rulers are firmly in place with no hope of them being dislodged.

New Capital standard is equal to neighboring capitals of Southeast Asia. <br /><br />I can surely say that this city is being built by Junta using money earning from Shwe Gas Project of Arakan, Western Coastal of Myanmar without doing any regional developments. Military Junta trying to earn money from Shwe Gas Project oppresses and tortures Arakanese People in their region.Zaw Lurn Naingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-81568738578017090262009-11-02T18:40:00.734+05:302009-11-02T18:40:00.734+05:30Please help me with my dissertation thesis!

I am currently working on my dissertation thesis "The travel motives of visitors to areas recovering from crisis at the example of Myanmar". The survey is directed at all people who have already traveled to Myanmar. The success of my thesis depends significantly on this survey and the answering of the questions takes on average no longer than 10 minutes. Therefore, I kindly ask for your assistance. Naturally, your answers will be handled anonymously as well as confidentially. <br /><br />Thank you very much!<br /><br />Here is the link to the survey: http://survey3.questat.de/index.php?sid=18447&lang=enAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13437119.post-4119589638266496382009-08-07T11:29:57.587+05:302009-08-07T11:29:57.587+05:30cool !

That is why the Universities are moved to here from Mandalay some decades ago.<br /><br />It was my home town, an oasis in the desert.<br /><br />But everything changed as the Goverment moved here and suddenly called this place our new capital.<br /><br />They used an incredible amount of money building a new city, whereas most of the other cities (even main ones) don't have enough electricity and so on. That was such a waste. <br /><br />And who lives there?? Only govermental workers/stuff who work for ministries and who, without their will, had to leave their families to be here.<br /><br />There is nothing but dust and buildings, nothing but loneliness and streets, nothing.. <br /><br />They may be able to build a new city, but they certainly couldn't build 'home' for those who have to live there.<br /><br />Sometimes, things change. But sometimes it's in a worse way, like this.<br /><br />The photos brought back many memories.
