Gallery: Asia's Crazy Bamboo Scaffolding 2 {Gadling}
Jul 22nd 2007 10:39PM In Hong Kong you have to go to trade school to learn the skill before you can go into bamboo scaffolding business. This practice has been in used for a very long time so obviously it is proven. From what I know bamboo is, pound for pound, stronger than steel. I think this technique should be introduced to the west. It will be more environmentally friendly.
A Canadian in Beijing: Reverse Culture Shock {Gadling}
Jul 11th 2007 1:05AM Ember,
I have been following your blog ever since I discovered it some time ago. You are a very good writer and I enjoy reading it very much.
Since you are so fond of China there is a book I highly recommended. It is called "The Gay (i.e. Joyful) Genius - The life and times of Su Tung-Po", by Lin Yu-Tang. It was written in the 1930's when the author was in the United States. Su Tung-Po is a well-known and beloved poet in the Sung dynasty. I am sure you will like it.
