The Body Bakery
|
|
Do you lose appetite when looking at those head? They don’t eat you, but you eat them! In Ratchaburi, Thailand, a Thai artist Kittiwat Unarrom sells edible sculptures of dismembered human body parts made from bread. Yeah they taste just like normal bread. I just lose my appetite…Ugh! Those human’s head and body parts were packaged like food and they are up for sale.
“When people see the bread, they don’t want to eat it. But when they taste it, it’s just normal bread. The lesson is ‘don’t judge just by outer appearances.”
Those body parts really looks real, I was wondering if someone just dumb a real one there and that will be scary. They forgot to make some parts of the body, lol. Alright, Sawadeeka! Check out the video after the breakahh.

A Walk in the Clouds - Langkawi’s Sky Bridge
|
|
It’s located at my country, at Langkawi, Malaysia. It is called the “Sky Bridge”, a cable-stayed bridge supported by only one support column, suspended at 700 meters above sea level. This unique curved pedestrian bridge spans 125 meters across a spectacular chasm. While the view from the bridge is simply breathtaking, you’d be able to view the Andaman Sea and Thailand’s Tarutao Island as well. The bridge was completed in October 2004, the structure relies on an 87 meter high support column to hold the weight of the deck, this weight distributed through 8 load balancing cables attached to its head. Maybe I should visit one day. Video after the break.

The Devil’s Pool

Victoria Falls is located at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This water fall is 360 feet tall and on top of it, there’s a natural rock pool which they called the Devil’s Pool. The water in the pool is relatively calm and from September to December, when the water lever goes low, you can swim in the Devil’s Pool. That’s edgy!
