    For one thing....

    I don't understand why he parked (the car) so far from the Curb.

    Did the man in the 1st (parked) car report the
    problem?


    Also... If he works for the Electricity Company...I'd expect him
    to be wearing a uniform.


    Is this Beijing?

    Looks like a telecoms street cabinet - possibly mobile phone basestation cabinet. The power supply and batteries are typically down near the
    bottom. The casual approach suggests he is resetting a tripped mains
    power
    breaker, or similar - nothing too technical. Could be an overcharged
    battery finally lets go.

    Possibly, from the number plate, (t#nN) Shanwei, Guangdong province.

    That would spoil your day.

    Thanks! Wow... can you read Chinese?

    which reminds me of PTD, who could not.



    The car number plate code t#nN (pronounced Yu|? N) in the PeoplerCOs Republic of China (PRC) designates vehicles registered in Shanwei, a
    prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province.

    t#n (Yu|?) is the single Chinese character for Guangdong
    Province.

    N is the city/district code for Shanwei.
