so as of now we have taping date tickets for the price is right for May 30, and 31st, so the best bet would probably for you to fly out to SF then drive to and from LA with us, and you can stay for as long as you want with us :-) I'm going to try and get some tickets for the June tapings as well.

great blog!
I'll be making my 14th, yes, 14th!! trip to Myanmar in a few weeks time. It's great to see these pics of Yangon in your blog. It makes me homesick for my adopted home and I just can't wait to get there again. Look forward to reading more of your blog on Myanmar. :-)

BURMA?
Where is Burma, is is somewhere between Bangaldesh India,China and Thailand, never been to Burma, been to Myanmar. Well thats what my Visa reads.

Research tells me the name Burma, only represets one group of people in Myanmar and by being devisive and disrespectful to Myanmar, maybe we are encouraging a South East Asian 'Yugoslavia'.
