I was in Beijing for two weeks in June and the pollution there was unbelievable. If you are in the city the light level is spread out by the huge smog clouds and it's just a hazy glow most of the day. At night the clouds reflected the light back down and they blocked the sun in the day.

Just wait till you're there in the middle of a sandstorm. The Gobi desert gets closer to the city every day, and every month or two in the summer you get sandstorms all across the city from it. The sky turns that grainy yellow colour you see in old photographs, and you can't breathe through the mix of smog, sand, and grit.
There are no white buildings in Beijing. Only gray.

I had nearly forgot about a previous IOtD that should have taught me how ruthless the Chinese can be. Not only do I abhor their way of thinking. It's their methods that really suck.

I can't believe I couldn't get the link to work. How do you do that anyway? It's in the archives of IOtD. This one was the one that helped me find the Cellar to begin with.

That's because you used URL="http://http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=4776&highlight=civet+cat+kill"]IOtD[/url]
instead of http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=4776. ![]() I left out one parenthesizes so it would show the URL a not "IOtD".

I wonder how you say spay or neuter in Chinese. I'm prone to believe they just love to kill. They prolly signed bombs as children......
