My sister-in-law (and family) just left the 29th of November to Thailand, trying to eventually get visas to become a missionary in Myanmar. The doors have become tighter and tighter all the time. They are praying for a window of opportunity in order to get in.
Perhaps this will be it. Maybe a good thing to come out of this whole situation will be a weakening of the grip of authoritarian rulers in the area including the likes of the Tamil Tigers etc.
