This morning

I took this photo on my way to work this morning.

Repairs are starting on the house near the entrance of my alley and workers came and erected scaffolding all around it. The house is quite dilapidated. I don't know if it's merely being fixed or if it's a complete renovation. Maybe I'll have some new laowai neighbors?

The whole city seems wrapped in these bamboo cages. I fear the pandas will go hungry.

Tomorrow I'm driving with some friends to one of the canal towns (the one featured in Mission Impossible 3!) for a day trip. I've been assured a non-suicidal driver was hired.

I'll take pictures.
