With this two-session series, GE will help you to learn more about the nation as its new government settles into office. 隨着反對黨於去年11月大選取得壓倒性勝利,緬甸長逾半世紀的軍方統治即將終結,昂山素姬的親信吳廷覺將於4月1日正式就任。神秘面紗與自由曙光底下,緬甸正經歷翻天覆地的改變,從獨裁走向民主,從街頭電話亭到人人手握智能電話。通識將透過一連兩場講座,帶你認識它的政治與社會變化。 Session 1 Graduated from HKU in 2012 and 2013 respectively, Rubio and Jamie have organised Myanmar tours for students worldwide.
