This fabled but troubled Buddhist land was isolated from the outside world from 1962 to 2011; enjoyed a decade or so of political, social, and economic reform including opening to foreign tourists; and since February 2021 has again fallen under a harsh military dictatorship, which has moreover been responsible for severe human rights abuses in various areas.

How can we get an invitation to visit the capital of Myanmar?
Just spent nearly 3 weeks travelling around Myanmar (Burma) as part of an around the world trip. Initially on arrival in Yangon I was underwhelmed.
