Posted in Business 'n Economics at 2:33 pm by Benjamin Ross

Take a look at this scene I saw today while crossing a sky bridge over the Northern Third Ring Road.

The man in the picture is trying to find someone to rent his two-bedroom apartment. He is doing so by standing on the sky bridge with a small sign and then entertaining questions from potential renters. With Beijing’s high population density, sometimes even using one’s own human labor as a classified ad can be more efficient that placing one in a newspaper or online.
