Trucks

There are trucks on the streets. They are seen everywhere in Pudong. It's because of the large amount of construction in this district I suppose. They are all blue, of identical design, and very rarely seen without huge mounds of grey, dense claylike matter piled into the back. They trundle around noisily, slops falling from the skip and leaving little breadcrumbs of toxicity. Occasionally you see whole loads of slop, dropped casually- sometimes at the side of, sometimes in the middle of- major thouroughfares and dual carriageways. You will see little groups of men armed with small trowels and shovels dodging the cars to scoop the muck into the back of a blue truck.
