has anyone else heard the rumour that the india/burma border is now open for travellers? i'm checking on wikitravel and google before i ask it as a question...
@AnkurBanerjee: have you ever been to assam? i thought it required permits but apparently that finished in the '90s
i'm thinking of indochina for the next trip if eastern india and burma are going to be accessible

@hippietrail Yes! Assam had a problem with domestic rebel factions wanting to break away in the 90s but now it's mostly sorted out and an incredibly nice / safe place to go. I've been to Guwahati and Kaziranga National Park - the latter has rhinos!
work once booked me on business class on a luftrhansa flight within europe
i queried it because we had to fly economy. turned out it was cheaper than the cheapest economy flight available
actually, now i think about it, i had the same a few weeks ago. San Diego to San Juan - i was in paid first because it was cheaper than economy by a few dollars
heh.. i try not to do that when i'm in first, but occasionally if someones been big-noting themselves in the boarding area then i make sure they see me as they walk back to economy :)
