This question was asked of us by a venerable Buddhist monk from the Jumping Cat Monastery at Inle Lake, Burma (also known now as Myanmar). He couldn't understand why tourists had ignored the pleas of Aung San Suu Kyi, the country's incarcerated, democratic leader, for westerners not to help prop up the military regime with tourist dollars.
