Burmaphile

I'm doing an MA at SOAS in Southeast Asian Studies, focusing on Burmese language and Southeast Asian politics. SOAS faculty is renowned, courses are challenging, and classmates are excellent at stimulating conversation. Burmese language training is rigorous--you'll be able to read and write in 8 days. I recommend it for anyone who wants to focus on Burma, because the Burma folks at SOAS know everyone in the game and can point you in the right direction.
