Arriving in Myanmar you instantly see poverty everywhere after 50 years of military rule.  Cars are mostly in poor condition.  The busses are falling apart.  And you just do not want to see the city centre apartments.  But everyone seems happy and optimistic the new leader of the country will bring about change.  But do not hold your breath.  Infrastructure change will take a long time and money is scarce.  And the military still control most of the major companies.  Foreign investment is almost nil but some is now beginning to appear.
 
This is a country I would like to visit again in 10 years to see what has happened.
