Andrea recently moved to China to teach English. She writes:

I work in Changzhou, China which is a fairly middling size city for China but which has been hopping aboard the business/development train. I don't think work has ENTIRELY halted because occasionally I see a worker or two, but I pass these buildings every day on my way to work, and they are just sitting there. I haven't seen a change in 3 weeks.

After the jump, more pictures.

I work in a neighborhood called Xinbei, which is full of businesses, but although it is very developed, everything seems to be empty. The restaurants, many of the apartments -- I was sure that China would be teeming with people, but there are sections of Changzhou that aren't even a little teeming
