The weather has turned chilly here and the air has cleared up quite a bit. Before we left for America I was definitely feeling the effects of the air pollution. When we came back it was hazy for another day or two but then we had a light rain, some wind, and everything cleared up. Today there was a beautiful blue sky and crisp cold air that did not hurt to breathe in! My only complaint (you probably guessed that I would have one, right?) is that it seems like more and more people are smoking now. I'm not sure if its because it is colder or I am just now honing in on it, but everywhere I go someone is lighting up a cigarette. The last couple of times I've been eating at a restaurant, the people sitting next to us have been smoking. It just wrecks me. At first I feel a little nauseous (great if you're in the middle of a meal) and then I start wheezing which eventually leads to me either asking them to stop smoking or I leave the restaurant. Actually, a law was just passed recently banning people from smoking at indoor public places, but as usual no one cares about the law unless it gets enforced in some way. As of yet, I have not seen more than a couple of people besides myself asking others to put out their cigarettes. Maybe I can start a trend.... eh who am I kidding? I'll just buy a mask for my nose and mouth. It will be in style very soon with the days getting colder and colder.
