Its so true ..I dont think I have ever been as bummed as during one of the weeks long pollution benders. Beijing in general is a ruff place to live...My fam and I have already decided to leave. We are lucky and have freedom to leave during the winters and take other trips to fun places. I cant imagine how people stay here for the whole year. We always end back here because we own a house. But, we have decided to sell.
The main problem I see is how negitive it makes me..even writing this kinda bums me out because I like to stay positive. The food also ..some great chinese food ..but western food pretty much sucks ..even places I like are just not on the same level as counterparts elsewhere in the world.
This past couple days have been really nice walking around in a t shirt enjoying the sunshine. but...that is even hampered by the fact that it will be shitty soon. Hate to be a hater..alas,Is it what it is.
Good times where had...I dont wish I never came,,some incredible times! Saying that, I cant wait to leave...counting down the days!
