    It's a multi million business. Bird's nest is a delicacy amongst the Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodiands and the rest of the orientals. It's an aphrodisiac and boost their men's performance as you can understand why. It's the asian version of caviar, extremely expensive and in big demand.Most of them are smuggled to the west by asian travellers as it's health risks and confiscated and dumped.

    The city lacks planning regulations to ensure a beautiful and healthy environment. Many buildings appear unattractive, and some emit loud, artificial bird sounds to attract birds, disturbing the peace and making it difficult for neighbours to sleep. These structures are often an eyesore in the landscape, reflecting a short-sighted approach to development driven by profit....
