Living Bridge - email forwarded by Gallege De Silva.

Very interesting & fascinating
 

MEHGALAYA is a tribal kingdom in Assam . It is jammed between Bangladesh and Bhutan . It is near SHILLONG, the capital. See the photos of the area under Shillong on the internet - very beautiful. Cheerapunji is a town near by that gets the highest rainfall in the world! 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.   http://www.snotr.com/video/7331/The_Living_Bridge
