    Living Bridge

    MEHGALAYA is a tribal kingdom in Assam .
    It is jammed between Bangladesh and Bhutan .
    It is near SHILLONG, the capital.
    Cheerapunji is a town near by that gets the highest rainfall in the world!

    Absolutely amazing!
    The most successful execution /
    construction of living Bridges with a life span of many centuries in one of the
    most remote parts of the World. Man making nature work for him.
    I couldn't comprehend what they meant by a living bridge until I watched
    this.

    Quite a unique concept for folks who have limited technical education, but seemingly have sufficient common sense to survive. No civil engineering is involved at all.

    What can you say, chop a tree down make a bridge and it will last a few years, get the tree to grow where you want it and you have a bridge that will last for centuries. inspirational.

    Everywhere man goes he destroys nature to build something he thinks will last, except in that remote place. What a glorious lesson they can teach us if we would only listen eh?
