Changing Burma: Preserving the old, embracing the new

When I first came to Burma, also known as Myanmar, in 2009 it felt like a
country frozen in time due to its years of isolation and stagnation.
Indeed I recall penning an article for Jet Star, something along the
lines of it being one of the few places left you could glimpse the Asia
of old, one that existed some 50 years ago. And at that time, within the
glittering modernity of much of Asia’s new sky rise cities, that was
oddly appealing but also a rather simplistic perception.
