Earthquake lagi.

Another earthquake hit the Asian region after previous earthquake hit Japan. This time, it hit Myanmar - our neighbouring country. It happened just few moments ago.

The news report are as following:

"A U.S. monitoring agency says a 7.0—magnitude earthquake has hit north-eastern Myanmar.

The quake struck on Thursday night near the Southeast Asian country’s borders with Thailand and Laos, about 70 miles (110 kilometers) from the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai.

The U.S. Geological Survey says it struck at a depth of 140 miles (230 kilometers) - exceptionally deep. But it could be felt as far away as Bangkok, where buildings swayed.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre says it was located too far inland to generate a destructive wave."

"An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck Myanmar Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The quake hit in eastern Myanmar, about 70 miles (110 km) from Chiang Rai, Thailand, the survey reported.There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.Earthquakes of that magnitude are capable of causing major damage, especially when they are relatively shallow. The Geological Survey initially said the quake had a depth of 142 miles (230km), but it later revised its estimate to say the quake was 6 miles (10 km) deep, putting it fairly close to the surface.A destructive tsunami is not expected, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. In advice to government agencies, the center said the quake "is located too far inland and too deep inside the earth to generate a tsunami in the Indian Ocean."

Luckily, the earthquake is too far inland thus it does not initiate a Tsunami.

Talking about Myanmar, most of us don't really have much idea what they have. Unlike when we talk about Thailand, most of us would be remind of the graceful transvetite - their beauty beat most of the ladies.
When Myanmar come into my mind, the first thing that hit my mind is - Burma (the name it used to be called), the military rules and Aung San Suu Kyi.

The country is bordered by Bangladesh, Thailand China India and Laos.

As I also know not much about the country - I thought the government rule is supposed to be very very very strict with very limited entertainment available - unlike Thailand, Philippine or Vietnam. Well I am wrong. below is an example of celebrities from Myanmar
