Do you think that Sanyo’s only business is to build electronic devices? They also build houses! It still surprises me how many different things can big Japanese corporations do.

Being a little bit over 13 km long, it is the longest two-tiered bridge in the world, a record that belonged during many years to the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.
