Another 1k flyer and I traveled to Yangon, I had heard it was extremely backwards, but much to our surpise the city was not backwards, had great infrastucture, roads, communications, cyber cafe'.
Food was extremely cheap and mostly Indian Origin.
The only downside was that they thought they were in New York city with the tourist prices.
For example I had 1 shirt, I pair of pants, 1 underwear washed and ironed. total price $12 US dollars.
We went to a bar, $6 US to get in and $3 for a beer or coke and $5 for rum and coke.
I can't comment on the country side but I would assume from other people I have talked to that it is pretty primative.
I would not hesitate to go back in the future.
Regards,
Robert
