        How long does it take for our American construction workers to do the
        same thing?
        \_ It's pre-fab, so it's not built in six days, it's assembled in six
           days.
        \_ one can only assume they took shortcuts on such tings as permits
           environmental impact reports, inspections, etc.

8/3     A week into my trip to Oregon and having a fairly good time, but
        tonight is my first night in Portland. What a shithole. I don't
        feel safe here in downtown. It's like Berkeley, but without the
        crowds of people to make you feel safe. There are meth addicts
        everywhere and the news was full of reports of stabbings and a
        homicide just tonight. Can anyone familiar with Portland tell me

3/26    I've never been to Hawaii before, but I just booked a flight to
        Kauai for me and my gf (who has been to Oahu). I'd like some
        travel advice. Which side of the island to stay on, what not to
        miss, etc.
        \_ There's not a huge amount of choice as to "where to stay",
           it's a small island.  Shell out the $$$$ for a helicopter

12/15   I am considering a January trip to some quiet/smallish beach community
        (not mega resort) on the Pacific Coast of Mexico [Jalisco, Michoacan,
        Guerrero or Oaxaca] ... does anybody have a recommendation of where to
        go for a week or so?
        \_ Why no cities in Baja which are overall cleaner and safer?
           Acapulco was a destination city years ago, but I hear it is

11/6    What's a good vacation for less than $750/person for 5 days
        in mid to late November?
        \_ New York City is quite nice in November. You can even wear
           shorts and t-shirt. Be sure to visit aspolito. He's a really
           nice guy who would never jerk you around. Oh and he's gay
           and loves sodomizing pollux.

China sets record with new supercomputer Meanwhile, it's easy to imagine the disorientation of Changsha residents who'd gone away, or who just hadn't recently ventured into the downtown neighborhood of the new Ark Hotel: "Honey, I don't remember a hotel there, do you?" Despite the frenetic pace of construction, no workers were injured -- and thanks to the prefab nature of the process, the builders wasted very few construction materials. Report Abuse The title of this story is not accurate but misleading. This building probably took a year to build, maybe 8 months at the very least. The story should have been more correctly titled "Chinese erect exterior shell of 15 story building 6 day's". Hats off to these Chinese construction workers, and construction workers like us everywhere! It seems that when this story was written the plumbing and wiring were not in. And what do they call it when the building is actually usable? And what do you call the kind of reporting that fails to ask these questions? Report Abuse America is gradually drifting away from the top because most of them had forgotten about GOD! what goes up surely comes down and no two ways about that.

Report Abuse Well not a supprise, after all it is precast and most likely prestressed; This is not new and is possible if we remove the Labour Trade Unions, Politics and Looking down on others, thinking we know more than others. Check their speed on implemeting the Magnetic lavitating Train - German Technology? God help us to learn and our leaders to give us the oppotuinities to implement our knowledges. Make thing cheap and affordable to mass first and we wipe out poverty.
