Default In the Orient, its all bamboo!

Whats really amazing is that in the places Ive been to in Asia, they do it all with bamboo, splicing it with bamboo strips. I'm talking dozens and dozens of stories high, as high as this.
Unbelievable
I used to work on high scaffolds all the time, was in heavy construction as a welder for most of the 70s. After the Army, heights didn't bother me. I still walk construction in a way many people think is too confident---well shoot, if you can't walk plates you sure aint much of a framer
