Ferris Wheels in Myanmar

Although not a CP post... wanted to share since thought this was pretty interesting, strange, crazy.... How some countries are able to offer "thrill rides":

Anthony Bourdain is the man!

Wow...pretty interesting to watch. For only manpower, it was going pretty fast.

Crazy. I wonder if those guys powering the wheel hold out a tip jar after the ride?

I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

That right there is amazing, terrifying, and awesome at the same time! I would think that any US ride inspector would seriously would have their head explode just watching that.

It's a good way to remember just how good and safe we have it here in the United States. Being unsafe like that is pretty normal over in a lot of Southeast Asia in developing/third world countries. I saw some pretty crazy stuff in Indonesia including a car in a dump truck which was in another dump truck driving down the road and people hanging off cars and trains while they went down the road/track. Makes you appreciate how great the US and other western civilizations are.

All of a sudden, Skyhawk looks pretty darn safe!
