Where Is This?

[glatt]

I was thinking it might be the home where the Burmese opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is under house arrest. That was just in the news because Hillary visited her. So I looked that up on Google Earth, and it's not it. But when I looked it up, Burma looks really nice! You get the impression that it's a really backwards place from the news, but I guess that's just the government. It's no North Korea.

And the US is building an embassy just down the road from the opposition leader, only half a kilometer away from her house. I read that she lived on a remote island on a lake, but she's actually on a lake shore drive of mansions. Sweet neighborhood. (University Avenue, on the shore of lake Inya in Yangon)
