there seems to always be construction happening here in hong kong no matter where you go! i noticed that it is not rare for the workers to be female. This surprises me since most construction workers in america are male.
Sex workers are taking part in the International Women’s Strike (IWS), with women in over 40 countries participating. Read the A declaration from English Collective of Prostitutes and Empower Foundation, endorsed by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP.ORG) issued which puts forth some of the reasons why sex workers are striking:
“On March 8, in the spirit of solidarity as part of the International Women’s Strike, sex workers will strike against poverty, criminalization and stigma, whether by refusing to go to work, charging double rates or by any other action possible.”
The Women’s March on Washington is calling for a ‘Day without A Woman’ on March 8 too, International Women’s Day. The contingent is part of the IWS march in Oakland.

The Ijen volcano complex is a group of stratovolcanoes, in East Java, Indonesia. It is inside a larger caldera Ijen, which is about 20 kilometers wide. The Gunung Merapi stratovolcano is the highest point of that complex. The name of this volcano resembles that of a different volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, also known as Gunung Merapi; there is also a third volcano named Marapi in Sumatra. The name "Merapi" means "fire" in the Indonesian language.
West of Gunung Merapi is the Ijen volcano, which has a one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored acid crater lake. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor. The work is low-paid and very onerous. Workers earn around $5.50-$8.30 (Rp 50,000 - Rp 75,000) per day and once out of the crater, still need to carry their loads of sulfur chunks about three kilometers to the nearby Pultuding valley to get paid.
Many other post-caldera cones and craters are located within the caldera or along its rim. The largest concentration of post-caldera cones forms an east/west-trending zone across the southern side of the caldera. The active crater at Kawah Ijen has an equivalent radius of 361 metres (1,184 ft), a surface of 0.41 square kilometres (0.16 sq mi). It is 200 metres (660 ft) deep and has a volume of 36 cubic hectometres (29,000 acre·ft).
In 2008, explorer George Kourounis took a small rubber boat out onto the acid lake to measure its acidity. The pH of the water in the crater was measured to be 0.5 due to sulfuric acid.

When the paddy field is ready, clumps of rice seedlings are placed temporarily throughout the field. Then the farmers and their workers plant the seedlings out individually in the flooded paddy field. Thus every rice plant is put in the ground individually by a human hand!
This labour intensive hand-planting technique is still the method of rice farming that prevails today throughout Sri Lanka and most of Asia, in fact.

A building site in the baking sun. One of the boys said he was not yet 13, but that he was proud to be doing heavy labour for 12 hours a day for a wage of just one dollar. He explained that if he doesn't work, his family will go hungry.
I got the most outrageously dirty look from this old dude in a suit as I walked by marina bay financial centre in shorts and slippers, on my way to give a photography class yesterday. Dude, you look like an idiot wearing a suit in this city, I realize you're only stopping here for a couple days on your VERRRRY important business, but fyi - nobody wears a suit here: you look like a tool. Oh, and perhaps you should try doing something that makes you a bit less grumpy and a bit more interesting for the rest of your working life. Just an idea.
