 | In Guiyang city of Guizhou Province, over 10 residential buildings are packed in the room just under a bridge. See the photo below. If don’t look carefully, you may take the buildings as bridge piers. Can you image such a life under the bridge, with vehicles screaming past and floors shuddering all the time? |

| Who chose to build viaduct here? Why didn't they move out the residents first? |

| I used to live right next to the train tracks. All night long I could not get any sleep! this was when I lived in the US so yes I feel sorry for people who have to live like that! although I might have prefered living under a highway bridge instead of next to to the train tracks when I did! lol! |

| GUEST17115 | One time I rented an apartment right behind a fire station. There were sirens 24/7. needless to say, I moved out very quickly. |

| GUEST70194 | Hi, Mark, I want to learn english from abc. I am wondering what insane means in this particular context...Thank you in advance. |

| oh sorry for the confusion there guest70194; it simply means drive me insane as in drive me crazy not literally of course but in a meaning it would cause me to get "really annoyed" might be the best way to put it within this context. |

| GUESTYAN | mark. why do u choose to live near the fire station that make u insane. noise shortens the life due to the uneasiness. when u are down. exercise can boost the spirit. when feel uneasy. go to church when u r unable to resolve on ur own... i guess there is better way that suits people individully... |

| Yes guestyan; an all above strategy is what I strive for in everyday life. I live in a very quiet neighbourhood now just on the outskirts of the big city centre here so no noise problems now! lol. but yes I exercise daily to keep healthy. run everyday, ride my bicycle everyday. go to the gym as much as I can, at least three times a week and I swim too! religion is also very important to me and I believe that my Buddhist faith keeps me and my family grounded, gives me personal peace and keeps me in good spirits on top of that! |

| GUEST70194 | Health, fullness in thoughts, mood stability and high spirits...wow, mark , all of those are admirable and the gifts from the God. mark, how do u bridge the gap between the east and the west because i rarely see the dutch hang around buddhist temple. It sounds funny, joker. anoymous |
