Anyway, New Jersey got offended. They felt they'd been falsely accused of being the source of a smelly gas smell. (I suppose anyone who's been similarly false accused-- which is probably about all of us-- can empathize with them). New Jersey official: "Why do you New York guys always blame everything on Jersey?

"You got no evidence."

When living there for two weeks, my in-laws would keep the window open. The apartment would need cleaning and dusting every other day, as all of the surfaces built up a film of dirt. When you (and by "you" I mean me) went outside, even on the seemingly clear days, you had to shower when you came back home because you'd be covered with a film of dirt. And "outside clothes" were not to touch the furniture. You had to change clothes to indoor garb.



I live in Beijing during a large part of the year, in all seasons, I have an apartment there. Of course there's an air pollution problem, but having to shower because "you'd be covered with a film of dirt" after going outside? Hell I go outside every damn day, I enjoy a lot walking and exercising all around (and I do it without wearing masks: aside from some days being foggy, the pollution is not noticeable to me in any way), and if it´s not too cold I keep my apartment windows open to let the fresh air in.

Either you enjoy frolicking around piles of coal, are some sort of ultra-sensitive being, or are simply making things up for whatever reason.

China may be the biggest producer of solar panels and wind power equipment in the world. Perhaps they should try consuming this particular category of product.


Next time you are in China keep your eyes open, they are being installed everywhere.



I'm glad your experience has been different than mine. It's also good news to hear that Beijing is taking corrective measures.

For the shower thing, I had to do that because it was causing some skin problems for me, and I was taking in many of the outdoor sites (the summer palace, the Forbidden City... etc.). It's an amazing place and I feel the place and the people deserve better than they're currently getting.
