:: I was recently reminded of this photo I took in Xinjiang, China last year of the not so famous shanzhai brand Worker Worker Black Labial. The shop also carried a number of other less-known brands, but unfortunately the owner was a little reticent to have me photograph any more.  // XD

things not well done | t3 ceiling ::

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

:: generally speaking, I quite like the Beijing airport, especially the newish 3rd terminal – it’s really nice. Yesterday, while waiting for my 3-hour-delayed flight back to Shanghai, I decided to sprawl out across the benches and get some rest. While looking up at the ceiling, I noticed something not so “well done,” and it really bothered me. See below for two (of many that I counted) out-of-place ceiling boards. The ceiling design, as a whole, is well done, but these tiny (and easily fixable) imperfections just ruined it for me.  // AjS
