Building

The entertainment for us this summer is the building project next door. Every day we anxiously wait to see what piece of machinery will show up, what strange thing they will doze, and how innovative the workers can be. For a country that only teaches rote memory and no problem solving in school, these workers sure do have to do a lot of problem solving!!

Case in point, the building next to us. They leveled off the front and back of the building to be a car port. But the side which would connect the two was too steep and narrow so they made it into steps. Now the building has a tiny car port in front and a lovely patio (?) in the back. And don't get me started on the front stairs and the strange places that they put concrete.

Our friends' building has an underground car garage. The only problem is that the road leading to it is too narrow for a car to be able to turn into the garage. So it sits empty! I think they should put a pool in there. They have a head start since it floods every time it rains anyway!

Justin and I have come to the conclusion that they don't have a plan or anything really. They just start digging and figure it out as they go.
