Tokyo used to be a city full of life and lights. It inhabited 13 million people, and bustled with activity. However, the earthquake that hit Japan has changed everything. Now Tokyo lies creepily in gloom.

Electricity Shortage in Japan:

The lights of buildings in Tokyo are turned off at night in order to save electricity. This is done to conserve electricity and avoid a massive shortfall later. The neon signs and street lights are also turned off. As a result, the city streets are creepily dark at night.

Fear of Radioactivity:

The people of Tokyo are aware that the Fukishima power plant located 148 miles away, is spewing radioactive chemicals into the air. People don’t venture out of their homes because they don’t want to come in contact with contaminated air. As a result the city has now become a dead man’s land.

Makeshift Shelters:

A large population had their homes destructed by the earthquake and subsequent flood. They are living in shelters with meager resources. The need to save electricity forces young students to study under the light of kerosene lamps at night.

Lack Of Business In Tokyo:

There is virtually no business taking place in Tokyo city. The streets and shops are deserted. Read the full story

There are some roads in the world that have been constructed in a way that invites danger. Others are hazardous because of tricky driving conditions. Some have high accident rates because of human error. Yet, all of them fall under the category of dangerous roads. Most of these roads should only be used by those who crave adventure. The rest of us should be doing all we can to avoid driving there.

1. Halsema Highway (Philippines):

Halsema Highway is located on the island of Luzon. It is famous for its landslides and rock falls. These can keep motorists stranded for long periods of time. Some parts of the road are still unpaved and there are guardrails missing in many portions. All of this combined with the extremely foggy conditions make driving pretty dangerous. Also locals reveal that the buses on this route do not have a knack for following traffic safety rules, so be careful if you are ever driving there.

2. San Isidro De General-Cartago (Costa Rica):

The road that links San Isidro de General with Cartago passes through the Costa Rican mountains. It is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. Its highest pass is called the Mountain of Death and stands at a height of 13,000 feet. You could suffer from altitude sickness. There are also narrow turns, potholes, steep curves and foggy conditions. To top it off, the bus and truck drivers traversing this route drive very rashly.

3. Patiopoulo-Perdikaki Road (Greece):

The road that is connecting Patiopoulo with Perdikaki is an unnerving one. It is full of steep and narrow turns, potholes and pedestrians and livestock. The gravel is loose and slippery. The most dangerous feature is that there are steep drop-offs on both sides of the road.

4. Grand Trunk Road (India):

The Grand Trunk road is also known as the GT road. It covers the whole of the subcontinent as it travels from Bangladesh all the way to Pakistan. It is a hazardous road for drivers because of the intense traffic congestion. The condition of the road is dilapidated and the height is a factor too. Yet, the single feature that makes it dangerous is the load of pedestrians, bicycles, cars and buses. You need to be very careful in driving over there.

5. Fairy Meadows Road (Pakistan):

The Fairy Meadows is situated at the foot of the famous Nanga Parbat Mountains. It is a popular spot for mountain climbers and photographers. The road to get there is not for the faint of heart. Read the full story

Keshwa Chaca is the old bridge, constructed since Inka times. The bridge of Keshwa Chaca crosses over the river Apurimac and connects the Vilcanota valley with hairpin curves. Every year the bridge is re-built by during a rebuilding festival. This is organized by the people of comunidad campesina living in Huinchiri.

Basic Structure

It is a suspension bridge over the valley of the upper Río Apurimac. This bridge is made of ropes which are hand woven grass. As the bridge is handmade and it has seen the weather of whole year,, so it is very risky to cross. For the purpose of transportation there is also another steel girder bridge nearby. Thus it is not essential that this rope bridge be rebuilt for any present-day transportation purposes. Still the Quechua/Machu Piccho people maintain to rebuild the bridge once a year, as ever. It is their tradition, and by doing this they admire their ancestors. They perform their festival at this bridge.

The Old Bridge

The land sliding has destroyed parts of the Inka road and the bridge is now very not easy to trace. It can be, now located over the Apurimac river near today’s bridge at Huinchiri. The bridge on the Inka highway between Cuzco and Lima, crossing the Apurimac near the base of awesome canyons is the most famed of all the Inka bridges. It is several hundreds of meters down near the Apurimac river. The bridge was used by the Inka armies and the attacking Spanish Conquistadors too. After the take-over this bridge was used for about 450 years and rebuilt once or twice per year. Later another wire rope suspension bridge was built at a different location. With the passage of time it was forgotten by in the 1890s.

Discovery of Old Bridge

This bridge was later approached by Victor Von Hagen in the beginning of 1950s. It was difficult to reach the bridge from the Cuzco side because the landslides have destroyed major parts of the Inka road on that side. Still it can be reached from the southwest side (Lima side) of the Río Apurimac valley. But it still requires a local guide to locate it.                                                     There are many small tunnels one after the other on the trail of old Inka road.  These tunnels are so small that they look like window and skylights. There is no other road near these tunnels so it is believed to be built by the Inkas. But Inka did not have horses and mules so these might not used by them. There are holes in the tunnel walls made by drill for enlarging the tunnel which was probably done after Inkas during the colonial times for the passage. Landslides have destroyed many parts of Inka road. But its remains can be seen from the track just below the lower end of the tunnel. A t the same point it is crossed by bridge and after that point it is destroyed by landslides. It is very difficult to climb the cliff to reach to the road. Due to landslides, while crossing, there are chances to fall into the river. It is only possible to reach there by holding the canyon walls.

Going ahead of the slide there is narrow inner ravine called pongo. It is the place of old bridge for hundreds of years. From here the old road continues. At the other edge of bridge (the Cuzco side) the bridge is mounted a place called estribo by the Spaniards.  It is natural rock projection. If we look from the Lima wall edge of the bridge we can look straight across to the remains of the Cuzco edge of bridge. Now it seems like the estribo is just a few loose grey rocks at the other edge of bridgehead.

Tourist Attraction

It is very interesting to visit the festival. Many adventure groups come to visit the festival. Most of the groups are local. A local adventure group named Rutahsa Adventures group come here each year. They fetch many things for the village children every time when they come. These things include school supplies, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and children’s clothing as a “mini-aid program”. All these things are divided into the children of four communities who participated in the construction process.

The Festival

At the time of rebuilding the bridge a huge festival is held. It is arranged by the people living in Huinchiri. There are the four groups of official of the Huinchiri who are responsible for rebuilding the bridge. The main festival is held for three days.
