Getting Things Done in China

Here are some snaps I took of how things get done in China. You might notice a common thread.

At the Olympic Park they were pulling out some heavy electrical cable that was probably used to power some of the temporary facilities. Check out how practical the vehicle is.

Need water for your new factory? It's cheaper to drill a well than to connect to city water.

And on most construction projects, the workers live on site for the duration. That's not two benches for work breaks in the tent, its two sets of bunk beds with a tarp over them.


Here's a portable air compressor.

This photo was taken at the Olympic Park in Qingdao where the sailing competition was held. They are removing lighter electrical cables.


Of course, most machining is done on manual machines.


And, it's easier to remove concrete in larger chunks if you have to a) break them by hand, and then b) pick up all the pieces.
