Window Washing

Beijing is a very dirty, dusty, and polluted city. So to keep up with it there is a large work force cleaning streets, planting trees and plants and most important of all are the window washers. It seems like the windows are being washed on our apartment complex at least once a month. It is an amzing sight to see when the washers decend down the side of the 32 story building. I never seem to have my camera ready for this. Yesterday while we were out shopping I did catch this sight:

China clearly does not have th OSHA regulations like the US. Each of these washers is on a simple single rope and they decend while washing the windows like spiders.
