Driving with his feet so he can smoke.
Walking the wall, about 2 stories up. He did this all day!
Only the guys in blue are tied on - more than 2 floors up.
Tied on...but only by a clothesline tied to a small pipe.

Safety (?) in China
After being used to the very regulated worker safety in the US, sometimes seeing the risks the workers take here is a little bit shocking.

Happy 13th
Kiana's 13th birthday started with her in stitches and ended in flames....
The morning of her birthday started great, with a friend bringing over a present first thing in the morning. At noon, during a neighborhood gathering on the community patio, she cut her leg on a sharp metal box. Luckily the medical clinic is right next to the patio and 30 minutes and 3 stitches later she was home resting on the couch. (Her leg is healing nicely).
Later that day, she did manage to get up and help make her planned "smiley" birthday cake with fondant icing. It was a huge success for our first fondant cake!
Her birthday celebration ended a week later, with a bonfire at the beach with her classmates. We roasted marshmallows "this is China"-style. . . we used mini-marshmallows because we couldn't find big ones and we roasted them on chopsticks because we couldn't find wire hangers or skewers.
This will definitely be a 13th birthday to remember!!
