I said I would show you the smog here in Beijing and here it is:

Barb thinks that Americans who do not appreciate living in America should be "sentenced" to living here for a year.  :-)

Beijing

I can't believe the pollution here!  I didn't take any photos today, and a lady on the place on the way in said that this is atypically bad (something to do with the heat - close to 100 degrees here today), but I have never seen haze / smog like I saw here today.  When leaving a building here, you literally could see the smog between the building and the road 50 feet away.  I hope it is this bad again tomorrow so I can get some pics to share.  But I also hope that it is not as bad as it was today because it is just gross to be out in conditions like that.

If this keeps up, I will definitely need a Lung Brush treatment!
