They might experience life-changing  (and underwear-changing) circumstances that they will never forget, or  forgive. One of the Chinese military roads to  "boost the morale of their troops" - <img src="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R2hqkkKUaEI/AAAAAAAABJI/pk0XQdh9XL8/s800/1265136615_17c3d83aac_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> and here is how they navigate it: <img src="http://lh6.google.ca/abramsv/R2hrMUKUaFI/AAAAAAAABJQ/tAtYyNrDjoQ/Mountain_Goat_PLA_Truck.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R2hrOEKUaGI/AAAAAAAABJY/ZhiXnKdzk4s/Mountain_Goat_Herd_PLA_Trucks.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Tirana to  Elbasan Road in Albania This is a hairy  route, very high, badly maintained with high volume of heavy truck  traffic - count on these Albanian drivers to be dare-devils, too.  Whatever pictures we could get, look pretty serious: The cool thing about this road is that it leads to  various interesting "rabbit trails" with ancient ruins at the end: <img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R2hhLEKUZ8I/AAAAAAAABII/dEl6NfE0e6w/s800/755310696_2fe0a43397.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.google.ca/abramsv/R2hi7kKUZ-I/AAAAAAAABIY/uOjsBoj2vFM/1442552713_77798acb18.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> some of the bridges there look pretty ancient too, and  require some extra faith that they'll hold: <img src="http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R2hiSEKUZ9I/AAAAAAAABIQ/T6ztIpNTKIo/1668906654_5f131e85a8.jpg?imgmax=512" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  Skippers Canyon Road near Queenstown: Katie Laurence  writes to us: "This road is made from a very narrow cut in the middle  of a sheer cliff face. The large tourist buses go along it, and it's so  narrow that if two vehicles have to pass each other, one vehicle might  have to reverse for anything up to 3 kilometres of winding narrow road  to get to a place wide enough to pass. It is the SCARIEST road you could  imagine..."
