Burma, Laos, Vietnam Travel in Burma is a concentrated experience. After just two days of being in Burma, I felt like I had accumulated several weeks' worth of travel experiences. You don't have to go to any particular place to experience this in Burma; just being there itself is so radically different from any of the other 20+ countries I have visited, that you inevitably accumulate stories and first-hand accounts of what most people would consider "idiosyncracies". For example, to take a five minute ferry ride across the river, foreigners have to fill out an immigration form. I'm not joking. This applies only to...
