In 1989 it was renamed Myanmar by the military government to demonstrate the country’s final independence from colonialism. In today's Myanmar, it often seems that time stands still. Perhaps harmony and tenderness have survived the ravages of time because the modern world has been shut out?
«This country has stayed just like one imagines a developing nation to be. It is to be hoped that they can make their own way without being overwhelmed by our Western consumerism. For me it is incredibly good to experience their tender gentleness and the harmony that still exists here, also the beauty of this country, its buildings and the way in which the people move – this is an incredible joy».
