more construction watching

-

This afternoon, the kids and I went for a walk to check out the construction site.  As is obvious, it did not disappoint.  We were enthralled.  

 We watched a long time.  There was of course discussion and speculation regarding the progress being made.

 The tear down of the scaffolding was taking place right in front of us.  For a while we interrupted progress as these guys stopped and looked at us.  Upon the kids waving, they waved back which thrilled the kids.  And gave us more to talk about.

 It really was interesting, watching the workers take loose a piece of piping, and then throw or let it fall to the ground in a more or less guided fashion.  Had some good sound effects too as they landed on an a growing pile of them. 

 Though  we  were relatively unbothered by spectators, -- people watching us, not the workers, there were these two women who wanted to confirm which building I lived in.  

 My ability to speak Mandarin Chinese, is still not up to full time conversations, (my teacher’s fault )  but Julianna managed the discussion for us. 

 And we had to have a group photo after becoming such good friends.  Julianna was the photographer.  Something she really likes to do.  Of course I indulge her.
