Tokyo Construction Week 2

ON NUMEROUS trips to Honolulu I have had the opportunity to watch the pace of construction. Slow would be a kind way of describing it. Here they easily triple the pace of union workers in Honolulu. Of course, all is not perfect. To keep far too many construction workers working, our very high taxes here go to pay for public infrastructure projects no one wants or needs. But it is fun to watch buildings go up. You can see them just beginning the process of sinking steel cylinders that extend, as far as I can tell, to a depth somewhere near the center of the Earth. Once in place, cement will be poured into the forms. Forgive me if I have the nomenclature wrong. I am an observer, not an construction industry expert. I'll try to post a pic each Friday to document the progress.
