    The Golden Hands bridge is amazing, but the surrounding Sunworld resort is a bit of a downer for any European visitor. Tacky buildings made of plaster and just hollow underneath. Get your selfie by the bridge and skip that part entirely.

    Hi journal, for anyone using the app in dark mode it’s impossible to read any quiz results because the text is black against the dark blue background that dark mode gives you!
