HK - the land of construction

Originally drafted in July 08, but not tended to until now. Here is a photo of how nonstop Hong Kong construction is. They dig up the concrete of the Tram (electric train which costs 25 cents to ride), WHILE the tram is live. When the Tram approaches, they gather their equipment and move the earth-mover to the side. Upon moving forward, (which is where I took the pic from), they resume digging!

Hong Kong Construction

Construction in Hong Kong is pretty unique, and pretty amazing. I also assume there is no OSHA here. On the top you see two pictures of a man working on "scaffolding" which has been set up about 15+ stories up on a residential building. At least he's got a safety harness (tied to the scaffolding).
On the left is just a typical example of a building which is about to undergo renovations, as it's just been covered in scaffolding and the signature green netting. In seeing the assembly of this particular site in Wanchai/Causeway Bay, the workers simply climb up the side and pass the bamboo upwards to assemble it.
