Chinese “state bird?”

Posted By dieselboi On March 31, 2006 @ 8:21 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled

when my parents returned from a trip in china, my mom relayed a tourist joke- there is so much construction in the cities that the cranes are euphamistically called china’s “state bird.”
from MAX on the steel bridge, I count 9 cranes. most are in NW or Sout waterfront, but there are a few in the heart of downtown.
is that too many? is it good?
