I just recently returned from Myanmar.  What a magical place!  Myanmar is a country that has over 4 million temples and the people are sweet, kind and beautiful.  The country boasts a literacy rate of 89.7% and is vastly rich in natural resources such as: pink diamonds among other precious stones, copper, rice and various forms of energy such as hydro-power.  This small country is rapidly being brought into current times with huge investments by China – without our participation.  Next year, wee little Myanmar is going to be home to the Asian games and with China’s help, will be magnificent.  When the US sanctions lift, and they will, Myanmar will change.  And the people will benefit, hopefully.
