One of my co-teachers warned me of the yellow dust Monday, but I have yet to be at all bothered or notice it. She does suffer from chicken little syndrome, so I take it like a grain of 'sand'.

In Yongin today we had clouds of green pollen/spore-type things visible in the air.
It's the first time we've seen them actually in the air. Plenty mornings she car is covered with an attractive green dust. The rain yesterday washed a lot of buildings an the like, so the ground was full of the yellow tide-marks afterwards.
But yeah, there was stuff in the air today, first time my wife had seen it in Korea.

Apparently it's gonna get worse going into tonight, with no relief in sight until we get a bit of rain (and that's still a maybe) over the weekend...

Oooohh... Protest season!
Been so long I almost forgot! lol...

Back to dust for a second...
Those cloth masks your students are running around with do absolutly nothing... Go to Emart and get yourself a 2-pack of 3M N95 rated masks (mine are the 8210)...
Won't stop everything, but they're the best I've found so far...
Was less than 4k for the pack.
