This is, to me, the best ride in Epcot! The highlight of this attraction is the speed trial on a track around the exterior of the Test Track building at a top speed of 65 miles per hour (104.6 km/h) on a 50-degree banked curve, making it the fastest Disney theme park attraction ever built.
Pygmy Rabbits are a tiny rabbit, the smallest in the world, that live exclusively in Sagebrush thickets in the Great Basin and Intermountain regions of the west. They are becoming very rare and this population along the Utah-Wyoming border in the Bear River valley is the only one in Utah I know about, although I have also seen them farther east in southern Wyoming. They also are unique in being the only native North American lagomorph to dig their own burrows.

"During World War II, Japanese built railways in the border territory of Thailand and Burma and in Sumatra. For these constructions they recruited prisoners of war (POW) and Asian civilians, known as the Romushas.
The life and work conditions of these forced laborers were very miserable. More than 60,000 POWs, among them 18,000 Dutch, worked on the 414 kilometers long railway in Burma. About 20% of this number of people died during the construction. Around 6,500 POWs, most of them Dutch, were recruited for the railway construction in Pekanbaru. One third of these did not make it until the end of the war. According to experts, 80% to 90% of 100,000 Javanese forced laborers in Pekanbaru and 160,000 Romushas in Birma died during the construction of the railways at both places.
More than fifty years later, Jan Banning tried to trace survivors of the railway constructions. The result of it is the "Tracks of War", which consists of a series of photos and text of 24 survivors who worked as forced laboreres in one of those railway constructions. Jan Banning photographed 16 Dutch and Eurasian survivors and 8 former Romushas, now living in Sumatra and Java.
During the conversation and photo session, Jan Banning led these men back to their lives during the war. They are photographed in the way they worked those days: stripped to the waist."
This is a quote from a poster at the exhibition which launched yesterday at the Fotogalerie Rotterdam, Conradstraat (backside of the Groothandelsgebouw). The show will be up through June 2nd, 2010.
