[This is] a rare 'finding yourself' travel story done right, gently relating the grit and discomfort of a truly expanding consciousness.

* Foreword Reviews *

Have Fun in Burma is an affecting coming-of-age tale, and is perhaps most valuable for its look at Myanmar's complicated political situation.
