[USMA:27155] Re: Myanmar and Liberia

I visited the Liberia site and checked on their climate.  I saw 
USI(Metric) units.  In other articles I did find miles without reference 
to kilometers.  This appears to be a mixed bag but favors US Imperial.

A recent posting on this list mentioned that Myanmar and Liberia. along 
with the USA, have not gone metric. I checked the web sites of these two 
countries. At

I found "inches" and "miles". However, travellers have told me that the 
distance markers on the road from Yangon to its airport are in 
kilometres, not miles. I also believe that old Burmese as well as 
inch-pound measures are used.

As for Liberia, I found from the official site:

a distance measured in "kilometers", with no mention of miles.
