Riding high on human-powered Ferris wheels in Myanmar

  • 4 years ago
In the Myanmar city of Taunggyi, Ferris wheels at fairgrounds are entirely driven by human power. Hundreds of young men in Myanmar make a living by climbing on the 20-metre (65ft) high Ferris wheels without any safety equipment. For 9 months a year, they are on the road and work without a day off, earning US$70 to US$100 per month.
