And an article on the Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. If you're ever interested, they have some fascinating biographies on her.

I'd never heard of the political state of the country until ~5 years ago. I don't think I've ever seen it covered on our news. If only our cars were fueled by teak or jade.
