- bridges in the middle of the jungle?
*facepalm*grafician - classic Graf. there are literally hundreds of towns and cities on its banks, you'd think there would be a t least one bridge linking two of them._niko
- and it means that the north of the country is cut off from the south via roadways, you don't think that's fascinating?_niko
- and in Asia, South America and Africa there are thousands of bridges in jungles, every hear of the bridge over river Kwai? facepalm._niko
- classic niko jumping to conclusions
my point was you don't need bridges, everybody uses boatsgrafician - @niko FROM YOUR ARTICLE:
"The Amazon, for much of its 4,300-mile (6,920 kilometers) length, meanders through areas that are sparsely populated,grafician - "meaning there are very few major roads for any bridge to connect to. "grafician
- "And in the cities and towns that border the river, boats and ferries are an established means of moving goods and people from bank to bank,"grafician
- "meaning there is no real need for bridges to be built, other than to make trips slightly quicker."grafician
- That is a little bit mind blowing for sure.Hayzilla
