When we traveled in Burma, we also strove to support the people, not the government, as much as possible. This mean traveling by bus rather than the gov't-owned train or airlines and staying in very small, basic hotels, which are family-run, rather than gov't-partnered resorts. Not the most comfortable way to travel, but you definitely get to interact more with locals, which is often fun and always enlightening.<br /><br />We found the Burmese and the Cambodians to be so friendly and welcoming of foreign tourists after all that those nations have been through. Both excellent destinations for you and your family! =)Tara Dairmanhttp://www.taradairman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214824605713956731.post-89093606460200792392012-09-18T10:11:42.599-06:002012-09-18T10:11:42.599-06:00I think traveling with kids is one of the best lea...I think traveling with kids is one of the best learning experiences. Our son as a 12-year-old already had quite a sophisticated view of the world. To me the most amazing time is between about ages 9 and 13 as everything is new and awesome and images stick in memory (and it's before the mind is totally consumed with images of girls). :)<br />Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310731783645112479noreply@blogger.com
