I really loved seeing the ‘living bridge’ made of tree limbs and roots that was in Bangladesh from this episode…
I had forgotten about the tree bridge so went back for a look and wound up watch most of the episode again. It’s such an excellent series. That bridge reminds me more of Angkor than anything else. Just amazing.
