Tomb Sweeping Holiday


From today until next Tuesday China has a national holiday called Tomb Sweeping Day when people visit their gone beloved ones (at least some). Kinda like we do in the Finland for Xmas. Would have planned some trip for this time but still have a bit of a cold so just decided to stay home and relax these days. No work for 4 days!

EVERYTHING in China is recycled mainly because some people can make money of it. They have stations here and there around the city where they sort it and put on these 3 wheeler bikes. The bikes take em away to the next station and at some final station they put it on a truck. Some of these trucks are so full it looks like they would collapse at anytime.
Went to have a presentation for a company very close to the Ikea so for lunch it was only natural to have some Gravlax with Meatballs. The Ikea's here in China always packed! with people, looks like a sea of black hair...
Also saw this chicked tied to a bike when walking home from the office, modern Shanghai! I guess it's waiting to become food for the restaurant it was waiting outside of.
