1)Building Bridges in a literal form means that some one has built a bridge from one side to another. Building Bridges in a figurative form means you have built a relationship between two or more people or cultures. In the story the literal form is when Greg and the people of Korphe were building a bridge to Korphe. The figurative form in the story is how Greg and the people of Korphe start to bond by having cups of tea.

2)In Chapter 11 Greg meets Tara the woman of his dreams and only after a few days they get married. Greg makes up for the time not knowing his wife by rescheduling his trip to Korphe.

1. The literal meaning is building a bridge to get over an ocean or river or something else that you couldn't walk across. The figuartvie meaning is building a bridge like a friendship or building a bridge to get over your fear which does not mean you would literally build a bridge to do that you would just work on building a bridge in your mind till you are over your fear or you made good friends with someone you weren't friends with before.

2. In chapter 11 Greg finds the girl of his dreams at a party and they both know they were meant for each other right away.
