Travel secrets for SE Asia?

Lisa B asked:

My husband and I will take an extended trip to Thailand, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos and Burma (Myanmar) in January-February. We have been in Asia before, including two visits to Thailand, so we are not novices. Does anyone have any “inside” information you think would help us? (This is an accompanied group trip, so please no advice on how to get around on your own.)
Thanks for the personal items advice. I am too old to need it. Always did carry my own when I was young enough.
We have been in Thailand without a group, but some of those countries are just too hard for an older couple to tour on their own.

Journalist right out of college?

Red asked:

Hey, I’m going to be graduating college in a few years with a Political Science B.A. I’d like to eventually move into Government work, but for a few years I’d like to work as a journalist (print). I’d like to travel abroad and cover breaking news like the chaoses in Myanmar and the events going on in Zimbabwe, stories like that. Would it be hard to get a job like that with a Poli Sci degree? How should I go about it? Thanks

How much do aparments cost in Myanmar?

YoungSexyThang asked:


I’m looking for furnished, stove, fridge, shower studio apartment, cheap. Roughly what does that cost in Myanmar, what is cost of living?

I know I can get apartments in Thailand for about $100 usd a month, and Myanmar’s GDP is about 1/4 that of Thailand, would it be at all safe to assume that cost of living for me would be about half of Thailands? Any information will be helpful. Thanks.

What is the postal service like in Myanmar right now?

Chris M asked:


Does Myanmar have an adequate postal service? Are there huge delays in Yangon because of the cyclone? Since there are aid distribution problems, I had an idea that I could send items to individuals nearby (like small water filters) who maybe could get them to people in need. Is this a viable idea?
