How to make a brick wall in China:

So my friend Sandy and I are walking down the street the other day. And first we see a man painting the whole wall white.

We keep walking and the man behind him is putting tape in lines on the wall that has already been painted white.

The next guy in the assembly line has a yard stick and a pencil and is drawing vertical lines over every other horizontal line.
The next guy is laying the tape over these short pencil marks.
The next guy is painting the entire wall gray.
The next guy....well he got a little quick on the job -- didn't wait for the paint to dry before he started pulling up the tape (you can see the paint dripping)
Voila! This is how a "brick" wall is made in China!
It's a good thing the Great Wall turned out more impressive....
