I doubt it Laurie! Even when you do find a location with Internet access I think it will be pretty slow. Also, I believe they have banned all VoIP.

Lori, you are lucky if you can get/send email in Burma! We were never able to get to any of our many email accounts while in Burma. The one they have the best work-around for right now is gmail. You might open an account just to use in Burma (I have).

GMail is not accessible unless... you access through Google Talk. That worked in January 2011 but may now be blocked. Other option is to have a service that uses Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) - under Windows 7 - for example through Blacklogic. Even some VPN services are blocked. Speed is generally slow.
Without the tools I mentioned your access to almost anything will be problemmatic.
