## Understand

Kachin State has been de facto independent from central government's control since 1962, when the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) unilaterally seceded from the Union of Myanmar. A peace deal struck in 1994 after a government army offensive made the arrangement more or less permanent, with the KIO-controlled area formalized as Kachin State Special Region #1, although KIO promptly split up into squabbling factions and the internal situation remains precarious at best.
Unlike much of predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, the Kachin people are predominantly Christian.

## Talk

In Special Region #1, Mandarin will get you a lot further than Burmese (or English).

## Get in

Getting in depends on where you're going. For access to government-controlled areas like the capital Myitkyina, there are direct flights from Yangon, although the adventurous may also opt to travel by train from Mandalay (24-30 hours). For the rebel-controlled north, you'll either have to battle your way through massive bureaucracy to secure permits, or take the easier way by entering via China.

## Get in

## Get around

It is most common to travel by car. It can be difficult to navigate if you are unfamiliar with the area, one-way streets are common and many streets are not labeled with signs. A good map or a GPS system can be very helpful, and taking a few minutes to plan your route is a good idea in any case.

## Eat

* Stowe's Seafood, 347 Beach St, ☏ +1 203 934-1991. This small shack at the west end of Beach St is gaudily decked out in boating kitch, both inside and out. Although it makes no pretentions to fine dining, the food is quite surprisingly tasty and there is a wide selection for a restaurant of this type. On the menu are fried and grilled fish of all kinds, fried clam (strips or bellies), lobster rolls, clams on the half-shell, and hot dogs. There is cramped indoor dining, shaded and unshaded picnic tables outside, or takeout is available. Highly recommended for a bit of beachside slumming just 10 minutes outside of downtown New Haven. $5-15.
