Think that's the kiln, some random dickbag wanders over with a hose to attempt to put some of it out, then decides its pointless and fucks off
Mad forklift skills though... the staple of chinese industry and abuse like a rented mule

Anyway, some old timey pattern welded gun barrels made by old timey men, pretty much a dead art now

Even better if we just get the new kid to sit on the back as a counterweight

Actually fairly low down on the living hell ratings, the stress is high like most project management stuff, but the chance of an untimely death (unless you're driving somewhere- maybe we'll get to that later) is actually really low, food is on the 'mediocre' side and finding something to eat that wasn't awful and cooked in 'reclaimed organic detritus' by scurrilous vendors did seem to be a constant battle. I am a large, physically active animal and midget sized servings for someone 5'2 and 90lb is not adequate. Living conditions are otherwise great- you can get a really decent apartment for not a lot of money that's got all the aircon and heating you'd ever want, which is handy as you will fucking know it in winter!

India, much the same but the food is terrible to the point that I'm fairly sure my lower intestine is still not quite on speaking terms with various other organs, it may be terrible- but the water will actually kill you. Living conditions, also great if you're willing to hunt around for something modern/western-ish. The weather, like most tropical regions its either really fucking hot and drier than a nuns nasty, or just hot, wet and generally disgusting. Likewise, stay away from driving places, because you will get maimed/die from some kind of vehicle related accident.

PNG, one of the first jobs I took after leaving the military and it was hard work. Mostly because you get dumped on a half-developed mining site about 500km from what passes for civilisation and expected to make really high tech things with flashing lights work in an environment that's basically inimitable to anything more complicated than a sharp stick working for more than a week. The weather is terrifying, your plane will probably slam into a mountain, the people still spear each other on a regular basis and only stopped eating each other on a regular basis about 70 years ago, life is really fucking primitive

Bad as PNG was, still not the worst job ever
