Have a good trip John!  China isn't it?

Look for high-rise buildings being built with bamboo scaffolding!
Regards,  Bob S.


Didn't see anything being built higher than three stories where they 
were still using bamboo scaffolding.


Buildings higher than that, they used steel pipe for scaffolding, 
substituting pipe clamps for tying bamboo. Same style of structure, 
using new materials.


And the real HIGH-rise buildings appeared to be using the same western 
methods of reinforced concrete construction I'm familiar with.

OT: The time has come

2010-12-11 Thread John Sessoms

... almost.

I'll be headed out soon, getting down to Raleigh so I'll be in place for 
my flight tomorrow morning. I'll be shutting down my computer just 
before I leave here.


I decided not to take a laptop with me. I can scrounge time on some of 
my fellow travelers' laptops to transfer images from my camera cards to 
my portable hard drive. Don't know if I'll need to, I've got a bunch of 
cards - 8 x 8GB, 8 x 4GB, and 8 x 2GB.


I'm almost packed. I've double & triple checked everything.

All I still have to do is stuff clean socks into various bags & pockets. 
And I have to pick up my shower shoes from the house in Raleigh. Got a 
to do list I've been checking items off to make sure I don't forget 
anything, and "get shower shoes from home" is all that's left on it.


I'm down to the point that all I have left to do is tidy up my apartment 
a little bit and put my bags in my car.


Should be back on list in about eleven days, although I'll still be 
looking at anything that comes through in the next few hours.
