For the kids I would say tootsie pops, small fruit flavored candies anything that you can bring that is individually wrapped.

For the adults the women would like any kind of barrettes, bobby-pins, combs, colored rubber bands any kind of inexpensive things you can buy at Wal Mart to make them feel special.

Also the kid and adults would love any kind of flip-flops. I found the $0.99 kind at Target and the Dollar Store.

Candles, matches, pencils, post-it notes.

You will see government watchers who are dressed better than the rest of the population. During our stay we had a government escort but they did not follow us around constantly, so we were able to mingle in the market place and hotel.

The Schwedagon Pagoda (Temple) in Rangoon is amazing. Golden spires, jewels and neon right in the middle of some of the worse slums in the world. We didn't get to go to Mandalay, but some friends did and enjoyed it tremendously.

Be careful of the Junta. They do not want you taking pictures of anything, especially the military, government buildings, etc. If you take a camera invest in one of the newer ones that are small but have a zoom lens and high pixel count.

Carry $1 bills, which is the most prize item you can give anyone in Burma. It will buy a family of 5 food for at least a week.

You will also find a black market for money exchanging on the streets, but I would not advise, it could be a junta informant.

Despite what you hear in the MSM, the U.S.Dollar is still King in Burma, and most other places we have travel in the world this year.

You will find that the Burma people will welcome you and you will find subtle dissent against the junta.
