Once we had been there for a few days, we decided that we ought to check out Burma. We went to their embassy, but it was clear that they weren't *overjoyed about Americans visiting there, (my friend had an official passport) and they did their best to do everything as slowly as possible. So, we just left and enjoyed Bangkok some more. We had understood that there was one good English hotel in Rangoon where all that they had was gin and no girls, but we wanted to visit anyway.
