several hours ago, a heavy smog descended on shenzhen. this smog irritates my throat and eyes, but i can't identify a smell.
the ongoing diminishing of shenzhen's air-quality has been a persistent theme in this blog. i can honestly say today is the worst day i've seen here. nevertheless, at work, most talked about the smog as if it were excessive, but "normal" as in "within expectations". as i walked home, children were playing in huanggang park, people were chatting, and the traffic moved as usual.
does anyone else know what has / is happening? i tried surfing in chinese but haven't seen anything. although i did come across a blog entry that classified shenzhen's air quality as "relatively bad" and suggested that people limit their outdoor activities!
