Amidst the vibrant hues of Asia and Southeast Asia, a giant hand reaches out from the pages of history. Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer, stars of George Cukor's The Women (1939), could hardly have imagined such a spectacle as the golden bridge at the Ba Na resort in Danang, Vietnam. This engineering marvel, reminiscent of Alice's surreal encounters with the White Rabbit, transports us to a land of ancient wonders like Wat Si Chum in Sukhothai, Thailand. Yet, this hand's ominous past echoes the front cover of Le Rire Rouge from 6 March 1915, with its chilling caption 'Kill the women and children.' - a stark reminder of the region's complex history. The hand beckons us to explore further, inviting us to unravel the mysteries of Asia and Southeast Asia, one bridge at a time.
