HOME SWEET HOME

Back from Sunny Singapore (weather as always - 32 deg and a chance of rain) to lovely Hong Kong.

Ahhhhhh smell that fresh air.

Admire that view.

What’s that?

You’re choking? The back of your throat is burning? Your eyes are watering? You can’t see Kowloon? You have to stay indoors?

But have no fear. According to the SCMP “scientists in the city and Guangdong are trying to maker things better”.

HURRAH.

“Recognising Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta are one when it comes to pollution, they will spend the next two years studying how to give earlier warnings of when smog is about to descend”

HOLD ON

Surely they mean “spend the next two years studying how to prevent smog”,

Quick reread confirms my worst fears - “spend the next two years studying how to give earlier warnings of when smog is about to descend”

Well that’s alright then.
