Chinese Construct Hotel In 48 Hours


Ark Hotel China - 15 floors in 48hours
Behold China's real estate boom, in time-lapse! It took just six days to build the Ark Hotel in Changsha. According to the video, no stationary cranes were used in construction and there wasn't single injury among the site's workers. Hat tip to Good
The finished building stood 15 stories and used prefabricated columns (the foundation was apparently already built). Better yet, because the building's parts were factory-built waste was minimized.

Sorry for Kung Fu


Sorry for Kung Fu (2004)
Starring: Daria Lorenci, Filip Rados Director: Ognjen Svilicic
"Sorry for Kung Fu" is a dark comedy showing the tragedy of life, but also shows the natural humor of Croatian rural element. Places that the director Svilicic chose for filming are great in their nudity, and actors are very natural and expressive. What we can appreciated the most is a keen contrast between humorous and tragic element.

Short plot: When young Mira comes back to her modest home after time spent in Germany, and also pregnant she will be faced with the harsh life back with her parents who desperately try to find her a husband suitable for her delicate situation, of course against her will. Tis will lead to numerous absurd and tragic situations, especially after the child is born.
