A Comprehensive Educational Experience: Family Vacations in Burma
Burma is a country that had been controversial in world media because of the political unrest and turmoil in its midst. Burma is best-known for Aung Sun Suu Kyi, the Burmese political figure who has advocated for her country’s liberation. She had campaigned for Burma’s democracy since 1988, and since 1989, she’s been under house arrest by Burma’s military Junta. All this should discourage you from taking a family vacation to Burma, right? Maybe not if you knew what wonders this country could offer you.
When the phrase “family vacations” is mentioned, Burma doesn’t seem to be a consideration for this phrase. With families wanting to go on a hassle-free vacation, Burma’s current political situation may not appeal to your wife.
But the Burmese landscape is more than just a war-torn area from the recent cyclone that desecrated this beautiful country. The Burmese landscape is a breathtaking array of greens and temple ruins. If you are careful, and with good planning, you and your family can enjoy a family vacation in Burma.
Burma is ideal for families because of the natural wonders that it has. Tigers still thrive in the Burmese wild, as well as rhinoceros, elephants, and even leopards. , are common in Burma. Exotic animals are also common in the wild, like gibbons and other monkey species, as well as flying foxes and tapirs. Rare and exotic birds also abound, and Burma boasts of 800 species. Parrots, herons, pheasants, paddybirds, crows, and even peafowl (peacocks and peahens) still thrive in Burma.
The wonder of Burmese family vacations would lie in the fact that you would be beholding these flora and fauna not in cages, aquariums, or well-tended parks. You and your children would be taking in the sights and sounds of Burma, as it is, in the wild, untended, free to grow the way it should.
It is truly a major setback for a tourist and his family’s family vacation to contend with restrictive governmental rules, but with proper preparation, as well as lots of prayers, a truly educational family vacation in Burma would be possible.
If you are looking to give your children a wild vacation, a truly interesting and educational family vacation, skip Disneyland. Skip the aquariums and the dolphin pools. Live on the wild side, with crocs splashing in the wild rivers of Burma! Live on the edge, taking bus rides with your children across the landscape of a country in struggle. Teach your kids to pray as you pass by villages, and see change take effect within hours, to days to months, to years, as you and your kids pray for a nation struggling to break free!
