I’m enjoying your podcast so far. I wish I had the Google Earth Southeast Asian Expansion pack updated for your podcast.

Thank you very much! For Myanmar/Burma, that expansion pack better have both the old (before 1989) and new names, because the ruling junta changed just about every place name in the country. Thus, Rangoon is now Yangon, Prome is now Pyay, Pagan is now Bagan, and Pegu is now Bago. And Arakan, the province I plan on talking about in the next episode, is now Rakhine, while its former capital, once called Mrohaung, is now Mrauk U.
