Where is Burma city?

Answer 1

The internet has many useful resources in relation to Burma (Myanmar) . Make sure that is it a reputable website (i.e. not a tourist website but one with (.org) or (.gov)). I have always found Lonely Planet extremely good resource to find out general information regarding the history, demography, and cultural aspects of Burma. However, it also provides a good insight into whether one should actually travel to Burma or instead boycott the country because of its oppressive government.

On the Lonely Planet website you are able to have a quick read of some useful information but it also allows you to purchase the Myanmar book, which I recommend doing.

If you are interested in Burma's history, I suggest reading one of the following books:

1. Living Silence: Burma under Military Rule (Politics in Contemporary Asia) - Christina Fink;

2. Letters from Burma - Aung San Suu Kyi (currently under house arrest for protesting and expressing view against the current government); and

3. Burmese Days - George Orwell (interesting read and although fiction novel, discusses what life was like in Burma during colonial times).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Look for Myanmar. The country was officially renamed in 1989.
