War Cemetery in Kanchanaburi
**********
This cemetery
contains the remains of 6,982 prisoners of war who lost
their lives during their captivity in the camps of the Japanese
Army that forced them to build the Bridge over the River Khwae
and the Death Railway. The Japanese following their invasion of
Thailand during World War II, brought British, Dutch, Australian
and American prisoners to Thailand by the southern route.
Impressed laborers were also used to complete the rush
construction of the railroad which was planned as an alternative
to the sea route to Rangoon via Singapore and the Strait
of Malacca. The Japanese considered the railroad a necessity since
the sea route was subject to attack by Allied submarines
and aircraft.

Dopaminergics can increase sexual excitement, but for most of them, the window of opportunity isn't very wide, and one has to know what to expect.
