Woo-wee, check out that triple digit number next to my home sweet *cough* home! My eyes are red and itchy and I have a headache. On the bright side, the AQI varies wildly from day to day. It's going to rain later in the week, which should bring the number down significantly (as low as the 30s). Until then I'll be wearing classes instead of contacts, drinking lots of water, and staying indoors!

If you go out, you'll need to wear those masks. I think I will bring some with me when I visit.

Mom you/I will be one of the only ones. That's a Taiwan(/Japanese?) thing for sure!
wow that sounds very stifling , but with all wonderful advantages (such as teaching college students in China), there are bound to be disadvantages.
I hope the rain brought down to the 30s!
