Day to Day Life in Guangzhou

I watched from my hotel room window as this man put down ceramic tile on the roof of this home or apartment building over a 3-day period. He carried his own sand up to the roof, made is own grout, and laid the tiles. He still works on his roof periodically, doing finishing touches. The bamboo scaffolding is still up, which makes me think he's got a major renovation project in the works. I see several women like this on the drive to the supplier location in the industrial park of Guangzhou. They are the street cleaners. Their brooms are huge! And they stand out in the middle of traffic and the cars just drive around them. It doesn't look like a pleasant kind of job. The wide-brimmed straw hats keep them cool and I see them everywhere.
These men are balancing on one bamboo pole as they construct scaffolding around this temple. They are working 4 stories in the air with no safety ropes or nets. One person on the ground passes up one pole at a time, while one of them lashes the poles together (looks like wire ties, maybe?) to secure the cross lengths.
This was a large group of people preparing to do some landscaping in the industrial park. I couldn't zoom in quickly enough but they have their bicycles and motorcycles nearby.
This was a group of people who had congregated to either practice or perform vocally in the park I mentioned in a previous post. I didn't recognize the music, but it was beautiful, and the sounds drifted through the park. It was just lovely.
