Ramada Xiamen

Xiamen was a typical Chinese city. It was not very interesting really. About the only exciting thing that happened took place in a local department store.

In one place they are building a new dual carriagway. Half of it has been laid. The other half has been abraded with a pneumatic drill to make the new surface stick.
