He went in 2013, as the country was tentatively "opening up". He spends most time in Yangon, then takes a long train ride to Bagan. Compared with Top Gear's visit, he seems more realistic about the future.
AB - PU: Congo
Again from 2013, and somewhere Tony had spent his life hoping to visit, and despite the political issues, he makes it to enjoy a boat ride on the river, struggles to cook coq au vin, and visits an abandoned govt project and the people trying to hold off the inevitable march of time. And again, though things looked grim then, compared to now...
