{{newsitem|Worlds Longest Sea Bridge Opens in China|30 June 2011|The world's longest sea bridge opens today in China, spanning 26.4 miles from the city of [[Qingdao]] to the island of [[Huangdao]]. The previous record-holder, [[Louisiana]]'s Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is just shy of 24 miles in length. The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge took four years to build. The record is not expected to last too long however, as China is also working on a bridge that will connect [[Guangdong]] with [[Hong Kong]] and [[Macau]] which will be 30 miles long when completed. The expected comletion date of that bridge is 2016. Although the new bridge is the longest sea bridge, the longest bridge in the world is the Danyang-Kunshan Bridge, also in [[China]], which is over 100 miles long.[http://nation.com.pk/pakistan-news-newspaper-daily-english-online/Entertainment/01-Jul-2011/Longest-sea-bridge-opens]}}

EindhovenLightTower.jpg

Eindhoven is dominated by industrial development as the city's history is inextricably linked to electronics giant Philips, and to a lesser degree, DAF. Although those industries have mostly disappeared, they have left the city a rich industrial heritage and a lot of museums. In addition, over the past decade the city has become the so-called capital of Dutch design. (more...)
