Modern Chinese Village

villageWhat an interesting idea for affordable rural housing! That was sarcasm, roll eyes.  This is a Chinese farming village – all crammed into one big rise in the middle of the countryside. Efficient (especially if you have collective/state owned large farms) maybe but kind of destroys the beauty of farm living. Plus, as someone who lives in a rural village myself, I cannot imagine living with everyone in my village in one building. Living on a large but scarcely populated island where my closest neighbour is at least a kilometer away is close enough quarters considering the likes of many of them, thank you very much.

Pool Terraces

pool terraces pool696I love pools, private pools even more so, but I’m not so comfortable with heights so I don’t think I’d find a terrace pool very relaxing. Plus, getting splashed down at street level by heavily chlorinated from way up high would not be fun. I think this building is somewhere in Asia, like Malaysia maybe.
