Hello,
I am supposed to visit Yangon for several days in mid October and am concerned about the current protests at and near the Schwedagon Pagoda. I see no warnings on the US Embassy website.
Has anyone been to Yangon this week and if so, any suggestions as to whether it is a dangerous situation? I know that things could change a lot between now and several weeks from now...
Thanks,
Adam

Ivwe got some friends who have just returned. The internet is totally out and the phoines are alos out. There is a curfew in Rangoon and other cities. I wouldnt say it would be much of a place to visit especially as you cant go out at night!!
Cheers
Jamie
My wife and I spent Sunday afternoon October 7th at the Pagoda. Very few tourists especially Westerners. We saw one monk the whole time there. Would suggest you enter with a licensed Burmese Tourist Guide as we did. Greg
