Breathe in!

Today there was a big wind blowing from the northwest...the air was grey with grit, and garbage swirled through the streets. It felt grimy and dusty and dirty to even be outside. But I bet we'll wake up tomorrow and the wind will be gone and the sky will be a clear, clear blue. In fact, we've had more blue sky days this fall since any fall in recent record. Statistics show that the air in Beijing is actually getting CLEANER--can you believe it? Maybe someday this won't be the worst place in the world to live, after all.
