U Bein Bridge, Mandalay, Myanmar

Apologies for the dramatic superlative, but maybe the best sunset I have ever seen... Built in 1849. A wobbly, rickety, and apparently impervious to the mythical Burmese safety standards (they are mythical because they do not, by any means, exist), 1.2 km-long bridge over the Taungthaman Lake and is thought to be the oldest teakwood bridge in the world.

A big thank you to Wikipedia for teaching me about my own evening.Leggi altro
