Luoyang Tour - Day 1 I think Qingsi is right. The "cycle and carriage" is a car dealer in Singapore. I did not know why the name was popped in my mind when I wrote the earlier note. In this case, I do not know the name of the manufacturer. The last time I visited Singapore was 12 years ago. Thanks for the correction. |

Luoyang Tour - Day 1 One more thing. Because many of these high rise residential buildings are built for the local residents, factoring in the building cost, they just can not come with the central air conditional units. Moreover, many of these building was built based on the pre-fabricated technology -- meaning, they were built by assembled certain already manufactured blocks, stacked up onto a reinforced foundation, and hold them together by concrete and steels. I think this technology was first invented by the Korean, and Singapore then use it to build her vase building estates, and I think now China is using it. It cuts down building cost and shorten the condtruction time. Very amazing technology. |

Luoyang Tour - Day 1 I think David is right. They are the wall mounted air conditional unit, probably made by "cycle and carriage" or similar manufacturer. These units are very popular in Singapore and I believe even among the Asian countries, where high rise residential building is becoming a norm because of the limited land area, and the increasing population. |

Drive-Ins in China I like Paul's comment when he said "You make what you can of the moment." I had never gone into a drive-in in my life. When I was a kid, I walked to the drive-in with my brother and joined numerous other people, sitting outside the entrance to the drive-in and watched the silence movie from a great distance, with no audio, of course. When they showed Bruce Lee's movie, the fence outside the drive-in was lined up with people that you can hardly find a spot to squeeze in. Well, that was twenty five years ago when not many people owns car. Few years after they opened their drive-in, they closed it down and the drive-in cinema had since converted into a wet and wild water sport park. Drive-in became only memory to that generation because the younger generation do not have the chance to experience. It's indeed refreshing to find out that drive-in starts catching the fever in China. If I do go to shanghai, I'll try to go to the drive-in and get another chance to relive the fond memory of Drive-in again. |
