The head spinning rate of construction here is mind-blowing. But that does leave the question regarding safety and building construction. I actually want to know the rate of on the job injuries..since you see these guys in flip-flops scaling up scaffolding 15 stories high. Speaking of 15 stories, that's the height of my building and I'm on the 9th floor. I've already accepted the fact that if there is an earthquake and I'm in the building you can kiss my ass goodbye.
Bet you never knew how safe you would feel in an Otis Elevator...well, I refuse, REFUSE, unless I have luggage to ride in the substandard elevator in my building...even though it looks brand new...shakes, doesn't stop level with the floor, sometimes the doors open sometimes not...I avoid them (yes, there are two). So I walk up and down the 9 flights of stairs routinely...and since I do it so frequent ...I now can feel the differences in the various steps...like some are deeper than others, some are narrower than others....but I would rather be on a collasping stairwell than trapped in an elevator....

ReplyDeleteIt's now 2014, the city is very developed now. I still have a hard time with the people's attitudes. A city can have the best of everything but it's the people that makes it beautiful. It's been one year and six months. 99 days to my beautiful Caribbean home.
ReplyDeleteThose elevators are so scary. The first time I was literally screaming! Sooooo shaky and the way it stops and then stop some more omg. Mini heart attack. Likewise, I avoid them at all costs. Luckily I live on the 2nd floor
