1 day when the wind isn't blowing.
Hi again.

OK, it seems the blog decided my last post was not very good and lost it in cyberspace.

Just a few snaps from my walk on the weekend. I was heading to the drum tower... I did not find it. Worked out I turned around 1 block to early :o(

Ive included a snap to show how much the air quality suffers here when the wind stops blowing. The photo here is less than 24 hours without wind. Last week, it went 3 days.. and you could not see more than 100 meters.

Ive set a new record.. nearly got run over by 7 different modes of transport :o) Crossing the road here is an adventure.

Till next blog, C ya :o)

actually not too many people died in traffic in Beijing, considering there are over 5 million cars and over 20 million people live there. you can survive.
