We Became PIG Engineers
#AlexTchaikovsky #Chengdu #Sichuan #China
Oliver and I became models for a local pipeline inspection gauge manufacturer. We had to drive to an industrial part of Jintang, Sichuan for this shoot. For the first time I decided to keep my camera in the trunk and use my phone instead, except for the audio and awb I liked the result. We had good fun and made new friends at the factory, and I wish PIGPROx good luck on their cross-Atlantic journey!

Don't miss your train! China, 2024

#AlexTchaikovsky #Chengdu #Sichuan #China I was about to depart to Xichang (a nice getaway from Chengdu) by high-speed train when something went off the plan. I didn't miss my alarm, my suitcase was ready the night before the trip, I had plenty of time for breakfast etc. I suddenly felt uncomfortable in the restroom and then my judgement kind of shifted. Even though I left my place 10 minutes l...

    LOL they will only give you a standing ticket if you miss your previous train. Standing ticket means all seats are fully booked, but it doesn't mean all seats are taken from the station you get on the train. Here is the cool thing, when you board the train, you can check around and take any unoccupied seat for a stop or two until the seat owner shows up on the following stations. Or, if it is a long ride, there usually a dedicated dining car, you can buy some food and stay there. The easiest way to tell if the seat is taken or not is by looking at the indicators on the panel above the seats. If the indicator is green (not occupied for the next two stations) or yellow (not occupied till the next station), you can take it. If it is red, it means this seat is taken from this station onward.

    • @AlexTchaikovsky
      @AlexTchaikovsky 10 дней назад

      Wow, I didn't know they had indicators! Thanks for sharing. I was sitting next to the dining car but they had no tables there... And because the train was so full of wandering "standing" passengers I gave up quickly... Btw, one who was late on the train can still get a normal sit if the tickets are available, there were siting options for me later but I couldn't wait until the evening....

    This is incredible. About a year ago, I was at a KFC near the Nanjing South Railway Station around 11 PM. They were closing up, possibly because it was close to Chinese New Year, and there wasn't much traffic that night. I saw dozens of pieces of fried chicken left, so I asked the staff what they were going to do with the food. One of them proudly told me they were going to throw it away. I asked if they could give it to me for free so I could share it with food delivery drivers, but they rejected my request due to company policy. I understand he was proud because they were strict about food quality control, but to me, it's just food waste. This happens every night in cities across China, while some people in the same city struggle to get enough protein for their daily meals.
