It's now known as Yangon, and it is in Burma.
Man, those cities and countries in Asia change their names more often than I change my underwear. B-) Well, I did have a Burmese cat, very beautiful cats:
Muffin: b. 8-21-1987 - d. 7-09-2004
I still have a cat from 1987, she will be 19 in August:
Pansy: b. 8-19-1987
Unfortunatly, she has the same birthdate (8-19) as Bill Clinton and Tipper Gore but that's also the birthdate of my grandfather on Dad's side so I think things cancel out. B-)
