Ben on the River Kwai


Here I am on the Bridge on the River Kwai, the bridge built by Allied prisoner's of war for the Japanese as part of the Burma Railway, or Death Railway as it became known because of the terrible working conditions and appalling casualty rate. Of course there were probably far fewer floating restaurants either side of the bridge when it was being built and I'm fairly certain when the railway became operational that you couldn't get a cold can of Singha beer aboard the train either.
