This was in my neighborhood noodle restaurant in Jiangyin, China. I've seen these little restaurants in all the places I've travled to in China. There were eveb two of them in a 3 block radius of my house. This resaurant was run by a family from Gansu. The workers were kept rotating so new brothers, cousins, aunts or uncles were always coming and going. Each person who ordered noodles would have them pulled fresh after they ordered. If you ordered noodles in a broth, the man would throw the noodles indo the pot out the window to cook as seen in the video.

China builds giant structures, incomprehensible, in the middle of the desert. No one knows why Google Maps satellite images have appeared in November in China, where there are some titanic sized structures, undefined, in the middle of an arid and uninhabited. The first one is a huge network of metal strips (or at least that seems to be). Everyone wonder whether it is a military experiment. Other opinions indicate that the sand was cleaned by machines and this would see these huge ditches. On the map, they are located in Dunhuang, Gansu Jiuquan and north of the river Shula, which traverses the Tibetan plateau, to the west desert Kumtag. "Scheme" that covers an area of ââover one kilometer long and 900 meters wide. The second structure appears to be a giant grid, located near the river Shula. If you zoom in a map you can see various vehicles destroyed. Somewhere in the landscape as it appears, a power station or a radio station similar to a US HAARP (High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program), near Gakona, Alaska. The third is the weirdest of all: looks like a huge grid of hundreds of lines formed over a distance of 28 kilometers. Lines are executed perfectly and seems to have been drawn as can be seen from space. And the fourth looks like a huge target, in which all sorts of obstacles, such as airplanes and various machines.
