We had a free weekend to do whatever we liked so we decided to go and see the Death Railway, this is the railway constructed by Siam's P.O.W instigated by the Japanese during world war 2 to transport goods from Siam (Thailand) to Burma! It's crazy to see the graves of so many poor people who died while constructing this monstosaty! They were starved, beaten and forced to tunnel through concrete in the blazing heat. We rode the railway and it was a good experience although I kind of felt like I was honouring the Japanese's work, the way I looked it was showing respect to those familys of the P.O.W as the money raised goes to them. Got home Sunday and saw a god dam scorpion, I was so amazed! We were all having such a laugh at this point as well, what a memory!
