Is there an electrician in the house?

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

One of the things we’re always fascinated by in our travels are the electrical power lines in different places. We’ve seen the ones in Bangkok a few times and wondered how it is that they keep working but Ho Chi Minh City tops even Bangkok with hundreds of power lines mingled together and strung from one pole to the next and to the next.

It’s a strange thing to take photo’s of power lines while you’re on holidays but we couldn’t pass these ones up so click on the links below to take a look and if you’re a keen electrician then we’ll call you next time there’s a fault on ‘the’ line!!

Looking along the line: Click here -> Down the (Power) line

Here’s the junction at the power pole: Click here -> Which wire do I cut?

If you’re in the mood for some other tricky power lines then take a look at these other ones, some which I’ve seen and some I haven’t…Now, which wire do I cut???
