Hasta La Gadget!

The next time you travel to Vietnam, make sure you check out their 85 milion dollar fire-breathing dragon. An 85 million dollar glowing neon fire-breathing dragon, that is. It can breathe both fire and water.

Did I mention that it is also part of a bridge? The bridge spans the Han River in the port city of Da Nang. This color changing dragon lights up using 15,000 Philips LEDs.

Why can’t we have awesome bridges like this in the U.S.? Probably because all the LARPers would gather there and form a dragon-worshipping cult.

Also sword-wielding geeks would climb up on the head to get their picture taken. Check out the video to see the dragon in action.
