The bridge isn't that unique but it was a great idea to run the lights. Points deducted for whoever ran that horrible conduit or pipe run

I say if you eat meat, you should be able to look it in the eyes, err, face as this carcass appears to no longer have eyes. People do forget when talking about how Chinese people eat everything that China had some very serious famines in recent history, so, yes, starving people will eat the chickens head, and deep fried starfish, and scorpions...

It is difficult to tell the total length to compare, but I rode on something like this at the Seattle airport coming from international arrivals to get back over to the baggage claim / customs areas. I don't know exactly how high but you had a pretty good view from the top. It went up at least four stories high I think.
