A hotel lobby is where the main movements are created by the visitors and workers of the hotel. People are going through the same movements over and over since the hotel was first built in 1962. The visitors come to the lobby to take photos of the historic lobby and its iconic lights. People come from around the world to see this historic building. Their hearts are beating fast from excitement. Why excited to see the lobby? The lobby will be torn down along with the building this summer in preparation for the Olympics. Maybe the demolition will use an innovative method.( www.tokyotimes.com/eco-friendly-demolition-for-japanese-s...) Demolition may be coming in a quiet and gently without disturbing the nearby residents. Just after check out, people come gather here to wait for the rest of their party to show up. The bell boys hurry in and out of the building with carts full of luggage. The taxis and buses come and go in the far end at the main entrance. A closer look and a little imagination reveal more movement. The cherry blossoms in the center have water travelling from the bottom to the tip of the branches and flowers. Electricity flows to keep the light bulbs lit. On a much larger scale, the city of Tokyo moves side to side from time to time. The small and big earthquakes from the tectonic plates are grinding up against each other. Big and molecular movements, all in one small photo.

A new cohort of migrant workers is taking over China’s construction sites. Fifteen to 29 year-olds now make up 70 to 80% of the entire floating population. While the older nongmingong (“peasant workers”) retain a nostalgia for the Maoist period, migrant youth have grown up under “capitalism with Chinese characteristics” and their expectations for the future are shaped by the values of the new China. Though today’s youth never knew the state-guaranteed social protections of earlier periods, known as “iron rice bowls”, they are on average better educated than their elders and more able to take advantage of opportunities afforded by the loosening of controls on internal migration. Those of the older generation lack adequate welfare provisions and will most likely never be in a position to retire. By the sheer force of their numbers, migrant youth expected to settle in the cities for the long term will also reshape urban labour markets. The younger migrants are increasingly vocal about their grievances and are regarded by the central government as among those groups with the greatest potential to threaten social stability.

Strikers from Cambridge and Crayford branches rallied outside Parliament and were joined by supporters from the trade unions, politicians and other strikers from the Picturehouse cinema chain who have similar demands.
