1: The literal meaning of "Building Bridges" is not to build a bridge to walk on, but a bridge to know each other more. In other words, to build a relationship with a friend or an animal.

2: In chapter 11, Greg gets married to Tara Bishop after dating for 6 days! Greg was supposed to go back to Korphe, but he wanted to get to know his wife before he went out of the country for another 6 weeks or so, so Greg postponed his flight twice!
