The Chinese Have Done it Again

Well, it is said that god made heaven and earth. Everything else was made in China. That cannot be very far from the truth taking into consideration what the Chinese have been up to in recent days. A construction crew in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha has completed a 15-story hotel in just six days.

The work crew erected the hotel — a soundproofed, thermal-insulated structure reportedly built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake — with all prefabricated materials. In other words, a crew of off-site factory workers built the sections, and their on-site counterparts arranged them on the foundation for the Ark project.

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. Below is a time-lapse video that shows the hotel being built from the ground up in less than a week:

Am not a fan, but its nice seeing my cousins in this video

Who on this earth is P-Unit? Who the hell is Mimmo? Those who know me well wont be suprised i asked these questions. My music collection is quite predictable, three albums by Kidum, two by Eric Wainaina, a compilation by habel kifoto, Koffi olomide, General Defao, Papa Wemba, etc…. etc….. You will find me in Attitude on a normal Friday evening dancing away to some rhumba. I would also frequent these out of town joints with Afro live bands. Thats me.

But seeing my cousins in this video made me have some interest in who these P Unit guys are. Well, after ‘you tubing’ some of their videos, i didnt get to like them at all. Their lyrics are nasty and, well, with very little to sing home about. I couldnt really figure out what the guys were saying in the song, maybe someone can help me understand. Is the song in Swahili or what language?

All in all, a kudos to those wonderful models in the video may be in order, more so, as two of them are my cousins. All the best my dearest Leah and Vicky. Keep it up. Maybe i will soon get to see you in a kidum video……..
