Urban problem solution for the day

I love how today even in the car-and-motorcycle-loving place like my hometown there is this growing consciousness of not relying too much on them. There's in fact a whole community dedicated of going to the workplace by bike.
Whether the reason is ecological, economical, or people simply just want to stay in shape is irrelevant. What matters is riding a bike is now hip again and I hope this trend stays strong and not merely a fad.

Kearifan lokal adalah kata kunci yang mulai santer terdengar di masyarakat awam. Ada semacam 'kesadaran' untuk menggali kembali sesuatu dari masa lalu. Melihat artefak masa lampau dengan sudut pandang yang berbeda, bukan sekedar nostalgia atau eksotisme belaka

Awesomely detailed Sketch Up work

How to Build 15 Stories Hotel in 2 Days

I found something, well, rather unique in YouTube today.
The video is actually quite old, dated about one year ago (in this Information Age, that's ancient, right?)
This is actually a time-lapse video of the construction of a hotel in China, which took only two days to build. And it’s said to be level 9 earthquake resistant.
To me, this sounds too good to be true, especially when it is from China unless they have an army of speedsters like The Flash to do the all the construction. So what do you think?
