WIndow Cleaner

It's been a while since I posted a picture looking down from our flat in the sky.  There's a window cleaner in this picture.

The windows are cleaned twice a year, around now and then again after Monsoon.  One person does them all, around 3.5 thousand, and all hanging from a rope.  Can you see him?

Old Advertising, Saigon

Old Wall Advertisements, Saigon

Old Wall Advertisements, Saigon

Old Wall Advertisements, Saigon

On Tran Hung Dao one hotel has been knocked down to be replaced with another one. In the process old wall advertisements have been revealed for the first time in who knows how many decades. I like the juxtaposition of the old adverts with the new and that there are no power lines getting in the way.

Holland Village Saigon

Holland Village came to Saigon, an exhibition of all things Dutch. They set up in the park near the Ben Thanh roundabout. I took a wander through during the day when the finishing touches were being made.

Windmill and Bitexco
Bitexco Tower with Windmill in front, an odd juxtaposition.

Setting up lights for the Dutch Exhibition

The finishing touches being put to the lighting rig, as always not a hard hat or harness in sight.

Architectural Signage Puzzle

CEE 1971

Perhaps someone out there can help me with this. I've seen signage like this since I arrived and have never been able to work out what it means or meant. Any ideas?
