About construction sites, food and more :)

As befits a big city, there is construction and renovation going on almost everywhere. With temperatures of around 33 degrees today, I feel a bit sorry for the construction workers. However, there are also differences between construction sites in Germany and Hong Kong. The people who are out in the sun almost all day wear long clothes to protect themselves.

There are probably nowhere near as many 'air conditioners' on the walls of buildings as there are in Hong Kong. Since water drips from the devices on the outer wall due to ventilation, you have to be careful when walking on the street. At first, I thought it was rain puddles, but when it was wet in some places even though it hadn't rained, I knew where it came from. So if you're not careful, you might get a wet head.

In this picture you can see the air conditioner puddles on the ground. It is also evident that every construction site is built with bamboo sticks. In Germany, this would be unthinkable. I am also not sure if it's always that stable. Let's hope so.

From my hotel, I have a direct view of the pool of an apartment building across the street. In the middle of the city, among the high-rise buildings, people swim in the pool on the roof. From my hotel window, I can't see the top floor of the building... and I'm already on the 11th floor.
