China is actually pretty amazing. The way they do things, everything basically, is so different from the US. We were away from the normal tourist areas, so most of the people we interacted with didn't speak any English. Even in the hotel. Thank God for Google Translate.

Our work and sleep deprivation kept us from exploring too much and I only ate outside the hotel once (not including lunches at the airline). The food was pretty good, but I kept is safe so my stomach didn't keep me from working. There was a lot of stuff I'd normally eat that I stayed away from since you just don't know how the food has been treated. It pained me to ignore the sushi bar!

Maybe I'll get more crazy next time...

Now you're making me jealous. I could really go for a rack of ribs right now.

One of our contractors yesterday did goat, good stuff.

Here's a sunrise at site.

Nice shot even with the equipment in it.
You could mount a HD camera on that one tower and get some really good shots.

That's the turbine exhaust on the left and cooling towers on the right. Yes it would be great but, I'm not gonna go get a drug and alcohol test just to go take one picture.

I was thinking more of a web can that could be left.
But to do something like that the people in the big
office would have to be on board with something like
that. When I worked at SeaTac Airport I asked for
permission to take photos from out roof and was granted.
But my boss told me to stay back by the doghouse so to
not upset the ATC tower people. They had not been informed.

Yeah we got a customer who's ludicrous and our safety is just as bad. Everywhere else in the world I've worked if there is installed ladders with a cage and permenant walkways with railings or steps with railings you don't need a harness. But not here!!!!
Plus if you are going more than 1.6 meters you have to have a blood pressure check and if your systolic is greater than 140 you can't climb.

Guess that they want to be slow and not sued because someone fell.
But they would still miss the guy that has too low of a BP and he can
also pass out and fall. 1.6m is silly should be more than 3~5m.

Mm, all that good food! Howdy from St Paul (Alaska, not Minnesota). The long trip from Sitka is finally over. A few days waiting for a plane, and home for a week or two. Cheers and belated Happy Father's Day!
