I was here a few years ago ...

I love Anthony Bourdain and would kill just to have the job of carrying his luggage around. He travels the way I like to travel ... off the beaten path. Anyway, watch this and take a look at the ferris wheel. I was there (it's still Burma to me) a few years ago for the Full Moon Festival and rode on this thing (or one like it). It's pretty "rickety" ... which you can't really tell from the video. I think something like 10 people had died on it the year I was there. I wonder if OSHA would approve of this here in the States?

AND ... they do it wearing flip-flops!

Holy shit that looks fun. And I agree with you Thump. He travels like I do also.
