The good thing about sanctions ending in Burma is that they'll finally have new cars (I read that an old 1970s Corolla costs like $50,000 or something insane). But the bad part is, what's going to happen to all those old Japanese cars?; May 2, 2012 at 6:31 PM

Have you seen Burma's cute little Mazda taxis? All in blue. I've been thinking about writing about them for a long long time.; May 3, 2012 at 8:30 AM
