Anyone notice the yellow dust in the air today in Seoul? Some of the cars in my neighborhood were covered in it.

You know where I could score some pure? I've been scraping my windowsills, but it just looks like black crud.

it was about 50% as the worst dust i've seen ever. which means it was bad. last year visibility was about 100 meters.

the main way to tell that things suck is whether or not it gets on your face and makes you itch. i had that all day today.

The yellow dust level is WAY up according to a few places I've checked online. Unless you have to, stay inside this weekend.

I really hate this time of the year. Wonder how many records we'll break this year. Allergies and breathing problems, here we go again. Sad

Today was superbad, as the site posted by hairy sue displays ... My eyes watered constantly any time I was outdoors, same with my wife and the taxi driver. Are there any sites that offer a forecast of how it's gonna be in the next day or so?
