 if you are in hong kong, don't you find it so sick even if you try to breath deeply?
the air pollution is very serious on these days.
it is not difficult to see the cloud of dust in the air.

today, when i took a rest in pantry in the office, i looked outside the window, i was astonished,
i can see nothing from the other side of the victoria harbour.
majestic skyscrapers were virtually blocked by the tiny dust.
the so-familiar tsim sha tsui and kowloon east were vanished.

just like the doomsday has come!

ridiculous enough, albeit human being knows we can have different measures at every level,
we tend not to take any action,
save energy, take public transport instead of private cars, byob, etc.
all these are very basic concept that we, all X and Y generations, learnt when we were at just about 6 or 7.
we seldom adopt it. we always ignore it.

is it only when the worlds collide, people would realize measures have to be taken?
it would be too late and people must despair at the time.

Al Gore, the former vice-president of the US, put great effort telling the people that the world is at stake. The film "An Unconvenient Truth" was on screen about a year ago talking the same topic and suggesting what we can do to help pass the crisis. i suggest people to watch this documentary. we still have the hope of success.

Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it!

On the issue of pollution I find that I have real problems if I try to go for a run. I am sure it is much worse here on HK island than New Territories of course, but it shouldn't be this bad. The first time I went for a run here I felt really sick afterwards, sore throat and I was coughing badly. It wasn't because I am unfit either. It really is a big problem and I agree I wish HK people would take it more seriously. One of the things that really frustrates me is all the simple things people could do, such as turning off your cars when you are waiting. Mini-buses, ridiculously large Mercedes and BMW's, trucks and family cars are often guilty.
