Cosplay på Terminal 21 - # 131
"Cosplayer" på shoppinggallerian Terminal 21 i Bangkok, Thailand.
Cosplay
Cosplay, kortform för costume play är en japansk form av performance eller maskerad. Deltagarna klär ut sig i dräkter och accessoarer för att föreställa en specifik figur eller idé. Ingen vet säkert hur allting började. Vissa påstår att ett japanskt science fiction-fan besökte ett konvent i USA och blev så fascinerad av konceptet att klä ut sig till diverse karaktärer ur sin favoritserie att han tog med det tillbaka till Japan. Läs mer om Cosplay.

Aung San Suu Kyi - # 135
Det sägs att för ett år sedan hade det inte varit möjligt att visa eller sälja bilder på Aung San Suu Kyi, oppositionsledaren i Burma. Men nu sker det helt öppet. Allt tyder på att Burma öppnar upp. Läs mer om Burma, i Expressen.
Om Aung San Suu Kyi
Aung San Suu Kyi, född 19 juni 1945 i Rangoon, är en burmesisk politiker. Hon har länge kämpat för demokrati i landet som är en militärdiktatur, och har sedan 1989 i omgångar suttit i husarrest, men frigavs den 13 november 2010. Hon tilldelades Nobels fredspris år 1991.

Det slutna Burma - Korrespondenterna i SVT - # 148
Kl. 21.30 den 8 februari 2012 visar SVT2 en dokumentär om Burma. Korrespondenternas Bengt Norborg och Marco Nilson har rest i hemlighet i det slutna Burma. Oppositionen och de unga tror på framtiden igen efter 50 år av diktatur, och i en exklusiv intervju kallar regimföreträdare den demokratiska processen oåterkallelig och lovar fria val i vår. Är Burma verkligen på väg mot demokrati? Eller är det bara en ny nyck från en av världens mest hårdföra diktaturer?
Programledare: Bengt Norborg.

Burma - # 149
‘This is Burma’, wrote Kipling. ‘It is quite unlike any place you know about.’ How right he was, and more than a century later Myanmar remains a world apart. Contemplate 4000 sacred stupas scattered across the plains of Bagan. Stare in disbelief at the golden rock teetering impossibly on the edge of a chasm. Encounter men wearing skirt-like longyi, women smothered in thanaka (traditional make-up) and betel-chewing grannies with blood red juices dripping from their mouths – and that’s just the airport!
