Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

Here are pictures I took today. I figured everyone might want to see the Goodyear plant that I go to every day! I took pictures of the plant and the neighborhood


This is Goodyear right inside the gate. It's about a 5 minute walk to where I start my day.
This is a shot down a street near Goodyear. I pass it on my way to lunch. There are apartments everywhere. I'd say this neighborhood is lower middle class for China




HOOP DREAMS! This basketball court is right on the Goodyear property when you walk in. I'm hoping to catch a game if the weather warms up. Actually, I'm REALLY hoping to see a game! I promise great pictures if it happens.


This building is 40 yards away from the next picture. This is somekind of real estate development business office.




This is right down the road from the above picture. All the people from the apartments bring their trash right out here and dump it! Someone comes everyday and scoops it up. It smells bad now. I can't imagine what it smells like in the Summer. The place where they get coal is to the left of this building. This is what I mean by turn a corner and be in a different world. There was a whole regular toilet in the pile today...that struck me as odd. I would have thought that had some value....especially when you see another picture below!


Chinese doing laundry...a lot of the time they don't wash them either....they just wash them in natural sunlight!!! AHHHHH! Mother Nature!


A shot of the courtyard between buildings. The picture doesn't do it justice, it's a lot dirtier. The guy coming up the steps is Jerry. He's the person I'm training.

This shot is out in front of Goodyear. This way is down to the restauraunt we go to lunch at a lot. A Korean restuarant...I can't tell the difference. Seems Chinese to me. Jerry swears it's different. The garbage building is visible on the right, and the larger, modern building is also visible at the corner on the right.

This is in front of Goodyear looking the other way. I was trying to get a picture of the guy on the motorized cart! He was a wiley little guy. I wasn't fast enough.


Goodyear from the front, outside the gate.


This is the picture of the Chinese toilet! I should get a frickin metal for risking my life walking in here again! But hey! The Pudgy Panda works for the people! This bathroom smells like something I wouldn't wish on anyone. It makes your eyes water just going in the door. Note the wastebasket in the corner. That's where the used toilet paper goes! They say a picture is worth a thousand words...or smells.

  1. the streets look deserted for China. Where do I send the case of Lysol spay to? I think I would wait til I got home to use the facilities. Yuck!
