It will always be Burma for me as well Johnny. My dad served in China during WW2 and his stories of going over "the hump" at the eastern end of the Himalayas will make it remain so for me. Elevation was around 16,000 ft.

Small world - my dad also served in the CBI theater - some of his fondest memories and closest friends were from that period of his life.

I do short term mission work every year in Burma / MaeSot Thailand. The poor kids are very precious and love life but live very hard lives.
