President Obama is due to visit Myanmar (also known as Burma) on Monday. It’s a sign of how far the Asian country has come on reform in the past few years.
Many Burmese are welcoming Obama’s visit, including young people who are studying the American system of government.
Becky Palmstrom spoke with some of them at a campus in Yangon.
