The opposition leader said that she does not feel that she has sacrificed anything greatly, but it was her children and British husband Michael Aris who felt the brunt of her long isolation. An interview with ITV News, the 67-year-old said, “It was a sacrifice for my sons and husband especially for my sons because … the children were young.”

As Myanmar opens up after five decades of military rule, a country run on cash is finding a new alternative: plastic. Private banks in Myanmar have begun rolling out automated teller machines in recent weeks, revolutionary in a country where people often haul sacks and suitcases of cash to banks. And more ambitious plans are in the works. "It's fantastic, so convenient," Naing Lin Oo, a 26-year-old computer engineer, said after withdrawing about 120,000 kyat one recent afternoon. "It would be good to see more of these," he added, pointing to a two-month-old blue-and-yellow ATM run by Co-Operative Bank, one of Myanmar's 13 private banks.”
