Still Under Construction. (But Not For Long.)
The jackhammers are still at last. Now there is just the incessant scrape of mortar on brick and the rumble of heavily-laden carts and bicycles through our alley. A great improvement, to be sure. Behold the work of a couple short weeks on the house next door.

I don't get it. How can this end up a house?
It looks so weird to see a building built with no regards to earthquakes. So... assuming there are no earthquakes, that is a nice bonus to living in Vietnam.
M- We don't get how it's going to be a house either. We're just chalking it up the ever growing list of things we don't "get" here. We'll take more pics as it develops.
S- I've asked about earthquakes and even the older people answer that maybe a small tremor every few years, but mostly non-existent. All construction seems to be brick and mortar with a thin layer of painted concrete. Still, I stay out of high rises. I've turned down jobs and didn't even consider apartments in anything over a few floors. Too scary for me.
