The Body Bakery

May 16th, 2008

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. Read more…

A Walk in the Clouds – Langkawi's Sky Bridge

May 8th, 2008

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. Read more…
