Shanghai Art Disappears
Steel is still in short supply in Shanghai. Manhole covers disappear, phone booths, traffic lights and now steel bean art.
Did the metal scrap dealer think one steel bean less doesn’t make much of difference for the real art lover? Did someone just not appreaciate the art?
There are 2 beans left for at least today.

Hello,
There is a book that I read about China about how all over the world people have suddenly noticed metal being taken to feed China’s desire.
I’ll find out what the book is called and let you know if you want.

Thanks for the offer. I don’t think I’ll read it myself though. Knowing about it, is enough for me now.
