Seeing Through the Fog

There are only two types of days in Hechuan: rainy days and polluted days. Oh, excuse me, I meant "foggy" days. That's what my students call them.

Rainy days are the best because sometimes they bring an hour or two of sunshine and clear skies. Unfortunately, "foggy" days are more common. It makes me cringe to think of what I'm doing to my lungs by living here. Sometimes I have the urge to hold my breath whenever I go outside.
