President Obama came to visit Myanmar on November 19th, 2012!
What a day it was for the Burmese... there had been weeks of preparation:
This is some street art around the corner from my flat.. and believe it or not, this is not the only welcome sign we had for Obama!
On Monday, I tutored my little french students and they greeted me with a "Teacher, Teacher! Obama is here!" After I asked them who Obama was, they responded with, "YOUR president!"
I had no idea they had the made the connection that I was American and that he was my president...
He gave an inspiring speech at the university, of which you can listen to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy-3659BsDA
