The Answer: Which Asian country had the first democratic elections in November since 1990?

Here is the answer to my last quiz:  The country is Burma (Myanmar).  There are exciting times ahead in Burma.  The President of Myanmar Thein Sein and the powerful army congratulated democratic champion Aung San Suu Kyi, after her party won the first free election in 25 years. Having traveled to Burma since 1981, I have been following the events in this country over the past decades.

In January of 2017 I will lead a trip to Burma and Laos and I hope that you can join me to explore this beautiful country.  An optional extension to Laos, Luang Prabang, will follow our Burma adventure.  Laos is often overlooked.  For me, Laos is my favorite country in Southeast Asia, especially Luang Prabang.  For more information please look at my program at:
