Myanmar and it is Emergence Onto the World Stage

I had been extremely pleased to see the news article inferring that Myanmar has become ready to join the earth's community of nations, which means Hopefully they're ready to treat their nationals with respect and dignity. The Burmese are on the entire an attractive gentle caring race of people, For the people of Myanmar have for a lot to long trusted their community and spiritual way of life to make sure that they are equipped to visit beyond the woes brought upon them by the oppression they have endured as a result of their military. For that Burmese individuals have had their calm and spiritual persona exploited to the extreme by the military junta which has controlled this country, we the west have stood by and allowed this oppression to occur.

During the 90's I had the privilege to work in Yangon like a consultant to their fledgling mobile telephony network, albeit my work lasted only for a short period of your time, a matter of a couple of months. For just one fleeting moment, about 12 to fifteen years ago it looked as though these were about to rejoin the democratic world order, as they tried to embrace democracy. Global hotel chains rushed to Yangon to build and operate spectacular hotels of incredible quality, sadly as they did stick to the democratic discipline, these hotels have stood largely empty.

For my reason to become there it was to advise them around the requirements necessary to implement a mobile telephony network across Myanmar. As they were trying to embrace mobile telephony, as it looked as if they desired to put in a network, they were starting to open up the nation again.

During the period which i traveled back and forth from Myanmar, a journey that I found to be fraught with difficulty because of all of the procedural requirements to acquire visa's etc., I saw an infra-structure which was similar to the war years across Europe. There have been old Bedford lorries and buses which were easily Half a century old and remained as operating as originally intended, it was as if the planet had not managed to move on. For me personally this brought a kind of charm to my trips that was enjoyable to determine and experience, however i left the country for better facilities so never really needed to go through the practical impact for just about any time period.

However, what was an unexpected in my experience; was the presence of French nationals plying their trade. In france they were involved in areas such as; Telephone exchange systems through to restaurants. I was advised by colleagues that I worked with to keep my very own council must i maintain any bars within my evenings, they were indicating the presence of French intelligence, something who were there in Myanmar to safeguard French businesses from foreign competitors. I've no clue as to whether I brushed along side this option so had no experience to say if the was true or otherwise. But, I had certainly been advised to help keep my very own council especially around the bar from the Strand Hotel, a bar where the few expats which were in Myanmar frequented, I count embassy personal amongst the expats.

During among my evening trips I'd the great fortune to visit outside of Yangon, traveling on a main route for approx 10 miles, after which we turned off the street and followed a dirt track for at least another 2 miles. Eventually we discovered a beautiful newly painted white colonial house, this house is at the middle of a plantation, it had an arch stretches from the front door/entrance whereby cars could drive-thru and prevent underneath, this arch was similar to a by gone era. You can imagine that in the days when colonial carriages were in use, these carriages would draw under the arch and are available to a complete halt, the colonial elite would then alight from such carriages. The leading porch would then pass right into a grand hall complete with sweeping staircase. This rather splendid building was a unique French restaurant, it joined together with a French chef/owner, the meals was of unbelievable quality. The restaurant wasn't over populated with tables however the tables which were there positioned in the different rooms, were all full with diners.

I've digressed, it is interesting that the exploiters were indeed the exploited after the day, as the Chinese were using Myanmar's resources to generate power and then send that power to China netting little benefit to the Burmese. I'd suspect the military regime of Myanmar had long enjoyed the support of China. But this aside as well as for unkown reasons they, the junta, have finally arrived at the table and also the people of Myanmar can take a breath and heave a sigh of relief. When it comes to west we should now embrace them and help them join the civilized community of nations. By doing this we should not dismiss the sacrifice that Aung San Suu Ky gave to support her people throughout this difficult period, for we should acknowledge her fortitude, her resilience her grace and poise as she endured those years confined to her home. Aung San Suu Ky deserves a role around the world stage like me sure there exists a new world states part of the guise of Aung San Suu Ky, she's displayed great humility, great dignity seen only if Nelson Mandela was launched after many years of confinement. Like Nelson Mandela she's not called for her oppressors to be delivered to book for their oppression for she's sought to unify america. I believe she has great courage and dignity an individual who has respect for the values from the ordinary people! Indeed the planet need to look to her for guidance only at that difficult time.

I hope we see this country quickly move ahead, that they, the people increase their security, bring peace and stability, their living standards quickly improve. I additionally think that this country should open its doors so that many of us are able to see the temples which have formed the very spiritual backbone of those of Myanmar. Hopefully we can all experience the Shwedagon Paya (Pagoda) with this is really a world renowned Buddhist Temple, located on a hill as it watches total of Yangon. For this temple was built and established before the time of Christ. I for just one am lucky enough to get have visited this excellent monument.
