Last Sunday, everyone was wearing masks and staying inside because of the "yellow dust." Here is what the Busan website says...
"Yellow dust -- fine sand from the Gobi Desert which is believed to include toxic chemicals from Chinese factories -- usually hits Korea in the spring. Health officials warn it can cause respiratory disorders. The KMA advises citizens to stay indoors during warning periods to avoid the choking mix of sand and pollutants."
I was out shopping and walking around with friends. Should have warn a mask now that I learn more about yet another sign that our world is crumbling.

Hmmm, why don't we do the same thing during the spring b/c of the freakin' pollen. We should stay home and not venture out (at least not venture out to work but still go out and lunch with friends and go to the park)
