Thanks Finn!! Tons of great shots.

Caught a flight from Changi to Pudong and rode the maglev to Shanghai proper. Maxed out at 431 km/h (268 mph), shame it's a demo line and only goes about 30 km. Waved to Haibao on the way.

View from our room at a hotel near Yuyuan Gardens. So much construction going on in Shanghai constantly. Looks out over the old city and part of a faux-Ming dynasty complex.

Got my snack on. Purchase based on bag hilarity. Did not deliver.

so since a few weeks where past since i took the last "update shots" i climed up this 165 feet tall badboy to get some new ones!

arrived at the top this is what the construction site looks like (office in the back!)

the logistics building where the company will store all there stuff.

the administration building where all the office stuff gonna happen in future.

guys were casting concrete

filling it in these big buckets right here!

and then filling up the wall shutterings with it.

[ThinFinn]

xpost from ROYxCone thread:

Since gardening can be pretty competitive in San Francisco, the ROYs and I checked out one of our rival's gardens today:

Then I saw one of their work trucks around the corner:

And some of their workers on a job site:

Their supervisor was a real hard-ass. He was yelling at them the whole time I was there, and I actually saw him smack a few on the ass when they weren't moving fast enough:

\

They were a pretty industrious crew. Their weed-eradication skills were phenomenal:

But on the bright side, their pruning skills were fairly rudimentary:

You call that a topiary?

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Cruising the back streets of Shanghai, around the French Concession. The architecture and the tree-lined streets were really beautiful. Too bad about the air quality...

Some cool shops though.

Local sneakers.

Eblis is a local streetwear brand. Had some aight stuff (no kop).

Roger had a lot of imported Japanese brands.

S2VS had some interesting gear.

Aegis had some good brands; BoO, CP, etc... Dudes that ran it were not local though.

Sideways was pretty wacky. Lots of Japanese and American brands, but the prices meant that everything had to be counterfeit.

Dressed up sex shop storefront. The style of the display was so incongruous with the merch.

Lil bit of graff. Didn't see too much of it in Shanghai actually.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

The Bund is beautiful at night. A whole stretch of old sandstone buildings illuminated from below.

Had a really big dark ale at the Shanghai brewery. Was surprisingly tasty.

This was pretty late, after many, many drinks, which means the only place open was this. You don't want to see the dumplings they served me. I ate two and left.

I lost count of how many Lacoste impersonators there are on Nanjing Rd. Some are just ridiculous. Clio Coddle? What the fuck is that?

[nicolnicolnicol]

Damn late but still welcome to Singapore BD..

And I have never seen the interior of parkviewsquare although passing through there for countless times. We only refer to it as Gotham City. Hah!

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Went to Jingan temple... just cos how you gonna go to China and not go to a temple, feel me?

The centre of the whole temple complex is Mahavira hall, constructed entirely from Myanmar Teak, and supported by 46 Teak trunk columns.

And inside the hall was a big Buddha. Not the biggest Buddha I've seen, but it is almost 9 metres tall and constructed entirely from 15 tons of silver.

So this morning the construction guys were building up this 36 feet tall shuttering

cleaning it so that the outside of the concrete will be smooth as a baby`s ass

backside

the armor to reinforce the concrete wall

getting tighten up with this

and installing

oh and the "balls" got there concrete on today

to cont.

[ThinFinn]

cont.

at first we need to fill in a small layer of concrete so that the "balls" which are attached to the underarmor won`t float/come up and bring up all the armor-construction underneath it. the 2nd layer of concrete will get filled in after the first layer is almost dry so that the floating won`t happen but that the 1st and 2nd layer still going to connect.

filling the concrete in the pumping-wagon

Here in Vechta is an old fortress from the 17th century. Nearby is the city park. So today I visited the so called “Zitadelle”. It was built after a French and a Dutch pattern. The walls of such a fortress in the 17th century weren’t longer build out of stone. They are just thick earth walls.

The Zitadelle as you can see it here is just a small sample they have rebuilded as the original was totally destroyed

Some random pics

Entrance

Some remains of an old foundation

[beautiful_FrEaK]

View from the walls to the park and the moat

What a boat!

Bridge over the moat to the park

Next to the Zitadelle is a skating area…

…and the youth prison

Also near the Zitadelle is the “Gulfhaus” where sometimes concerts take place

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And there’s a museum. The “Zeughaus”. That building is from 1698

I didn’t had the time to go inside but I took pics of what was displayed around the building.

Some medieval things

Behind the Zeughaus

Some bees

What we all need and like. Hop for beer

More buildings

(x post from rxc)

Hadn't had one of my lunchtime rambles with my mate Carl for some weeks so…

We headed by the river.

this stretch is just down from Greemwich. We've lost a huge local scrapyard, redeveloped as swanky riverside apartments, but there's still a great, industiral feel, helped by the presence of the last boat repair yards on this part of the river. Occasionally you'll see three or four mast sailing boats in there. Mostly they are working on the barges that ply their trade up and down the river, usually carryig hardcore or rubble from building work.

This wharf was the site of the first telegraph cable company - they made the cable that first connected Britain to the states. Now developers have just got planning permission to convert the wharf into a terminal for luxury cruise liners.

According to legend, all the swans on the River Thames are owned by the Queen. Wonder if this couple know?

This thames walk is supposed to stay open by law - stretches keep getting closed, eventually they reopen, like this one:
