Robert Swetz with Burmese people

Happy memories of Myanmar (Burma) and it's people

Over the last 10 years Robert Vegas Bob Swetz has had the privilege of traveling to Burma which they call Myanmar 4 different times. When visiting the country and it's people it's like going back in time, less technology, less stress and less troubles.

When ever I would come across the Burmese people they were always very interested in me as a foreigner to their country. They were always polite and some a bit camera shy, but after a few minutes of my guide talking to these in the Burmese language they came around quickly for that camera pose.

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz is planning another visit to Myanmar and the Philippines in the near future and looks forward to taking more fun photographs like the ones on this page.

Robert, We haven't been there, but spent some time in Thailand a number of years ago. The people were warm and friendly and we had a wonderful experience. The culture, language and climate to be as foreign as anyplace I've ever been, yet we were very comfortable.

Hello Debbie and yes it really was a fun time, and was my second visit to Myanmar and the first time wasn't as fun because I flew there by myself and had my wife's family but none of them spoke the English language
