Everything is being torn down all around us.
We went upstreet a week ago and found that since the previous time (literally two days before that) everybody there had moved out and that the buildings were being torn down. New highrise apartments being built.
There was a van standing there having this message in Chinese on loop, telling people about them having to move out and when the deadline was. Which kind of makes you wonder how stuff like this goes around here. Just some van pulling up, telling you to get the hell out because your house is going to be demolished? My God.
And then last week the same message started coming through our window from the district behind us. And sure enough, everybody moved out this week and for the last two days, cranes and trucks have been driving around to tear everything down. That means that we now have construction sites three sides around us. The university is at the fourth.
