A Smoggy Mess

hong kong has been disgusting lately - more than normal disgusting.  the pollution has been unbearable.  a blanket of smog every morning, headaches all day and trouble breathing while walking the slightest incline.

one day the air pollution hit over 200.

i went paddling over the weekend through an oily smoggy mess.  after hanging up my clothes i realised they had to be washed immediately as they smelled of gas.

heaven help me!!

here are some good articles on the the little* pollution issue we are having here in china:
