What do you think this object is? I found it while I was walking around my home the other day. I found it in a construction site. It is a column of a new building. As you can see in this picture, bunch of thick wires are set to reinforce concrete. It is one of the preparations against earthquake which is coming someday in the future. The construction standard in Japan is very strict especially after the disguise affairs by some construction companies and architects. It is now so strict that the number of the newly built buildings has dramatically decreased. Compared to this almost excessively strong structure, the buildings in Vancouver were really easy. They looked like toy blocks or Jenga. I hear that more and more tall buildings are still built in and around Vancouver which is in the middle of bubble economy. I'm anxious about the result of a coming big earthquake. The day might be hundreds years later, but it might be today. I don't like to die in the darkness under the debris without seeing the sky.
