Not your typical Summer Friday.

Xierqi station on Beijing Subway’s Line 13 last Thursday morning at around 7:30.
According to Antony Tao of Beijing Cream, Xierqi is:
…a transfer station and one of the cleaner, better-looking ones in the system. It has, like other stations in Beijing’s vast underground transportation network, built-in artificial bottlenecks intended to relieve congestion in the form of gates and narrow staircases. On some occasions, however, those fail.
Yikes! It’s like Sandycove on a Thursday afternoon.
National Geographic photographer Michael Yamashita tells My Modern Met:
It seems a number of viewers are horrified, appalled, nauseated and generally grossed out by the sheer number of swimmers squeezed into these mega-pools. There’s no question that given the heat, humidity, and population of Tokyo in the summer, the throngs at any swimming pool there are going to, by definition, test the limits of crowd control and sanitation….[But] Japanese people, by tradition and habit, are arguably the cleanest – not to mention the most cleanliness-conscious – in the world. The water in these pools is clean enough to drink!”
Ri-ight.
Our Karl, transmitting from Apple’s WWDC developer’s conference in San Francisco, sez:
This is what 5000 nerds (4800 men, 200 women) look like when they’re at a concert. And what did Apple serve up? Bastarding Pabst!
I’m raging about the dodgy wifi here – I’d have been live tweeting the keynote if it had been working.
Sure you would, Pabstmeister.
Epic nerd vista after the jump…
