The air is thick with pale yellow dust again today. I can barely see across the river and the mountains in the distance are just a memory. I took MyeongHee to work and when I ran the washers on the windshield I got a nice little pile of the stuff on the edges of the window. I’m trying to stay indoors as the super-fine particles are bad for the lungs.

This happens every spring in Korea, some times more severe than at others. Last week they canceled school and today seems as bad, if not worse. That may have been more because last week was the first day of the new school year and lots of parents and kids were going to school to get everyone settled. It’s funky today.
