And for the final pic, back at the monorail. There is another chimney. Every new apartment development has one. Note it is painted in the colours of the apartments. This is the apartments waste incinerator. Waste is piped from apartments directly into this incinerator which generates power from burning the rubbish. So there are hundreds of waste incinerators, and since it is your waste from your apartment going into it, there is no NIMBY-ism, not that you get a back yard anyway. Personally, I am not convinced burning rubbish is a better outcome, scrubbing tech means there is no smoke or odour, and you get CO2 instead of methane which is good, but then you get ash that has to be carted away that is very toxic. OK, enough science, time to scrape off sunscreen, wash my hair, and check my itinerary for going to Busan tomorrow.
