The majestic Shwedagon (ie. Golden Dagon) Pagoda taken in the late afternoon, Rangoon, Myanmar. This structure dominates the Rangoon skyline from every vantage point. It has to be seen to be believed!

My name is Anja Moeser and I am a German College student at the International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef Bonn. I am currently working on my dissertation thesis "The travel motives of visitors to areas recovering from crisis at the example of Myanmar". The survey is directed at all people who have already traveled to Myanmar. The success of my thesis depends significantly on this survey and the answering of the questions takes on average no longer than 10 minutes. Therefore, I kindly ask for your assistance. Naturally, your answers will be handled anonymously as well as confidentially.

Thank you very much!

Here is the link to the survey: http://survey3.questat.de/index.php?sid=18447&lang=en
