Myanmar for Foreign Dummies is a point to point guide for Westerners looking to do business in the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar. In his guide, Jonathan Nichols the experience he's acquired in starting and running his own machinery distribution company to lay down the 18 points to surviving in Myanmar. In each of his lessons, he offers us stories of his personal experiences in dealing with the Burmese people and lifestyle. Leaving no stones unturned, Nichols shows us how to find a local connection, pay for services and, deal with locals. He warns us of the Burmese customs that foreigners may not be aware us potentially avoiding major faux pas.I found Myanmar for Foreign Dummies to be quite informative despite it's short length, at 33 pages. This may be advantageous for those who don't have a lot of time to spend in learning all the ins and outs of Myanmar. Definitely get this book if you are planning to visit Myanmar, for business or otherwise.
