Now whatexactly were you expecting to see… Nelson Mandela in his underwear? I spent time recently at the United Nations with NobelLaureate Aung San Suu Kyi.

According to Aung San Suu Kyi’s peeps, about 0.2% of the population in Myanmar has access to the Internet. That’s compared to about 78% of Americans.
