    I just started following her on TikTok a week or so ago.  She's always been cool, but her channel is great.  Those drawings are fun.  She's like a little kid.

    Yeah, I can see why the restaurant didn't paint over them at the end of construction.
    They are just fun like the crayon creations on the fridge.

    "Why?"
    Because taxes were based on the building's footprint, not the living area.
    There are dozens of pics of it online, but I didn't see one with stairs. Why again?
    It is also right in the middle of a town but in the pic looks isolated.

    Every darn photo on this series of Bruce's is evocative.

    Re: Scenic Spots Everywhere

    I was looking at the apartment buildings in Kunming, China, in the last post. There is over 50 buildings and I have no clue as to how many apartments in each, but a lot of apartments. Where do that many people work, how do they earn a living. Turns out Kunming is a pretty big city with lots of apartment buildings but my question goes unanswered.

    Whatever they do, 2 million more do it than in 2014. And it is only 16th in China.
    Wikipedia:
    "Kunming's chief industries are     copper, lead and zinc production. Its iron and steel industry has been expanded. Salt and phosphate mines around Kunming are some of the largest in China. Yunnan Copper Company Limited, based in Kunming, is one of Yunnan's largest mining corporations. From the late 1970s, Kunming's main industries also came to include food and tobacco processing and the manufacture of construction equipment and machines."

    Elephant Island sounds like a good place to stay away from.
