Welcome to (cough) Shanghai (cough, wheeze, cough...)


A typical morning sky,  shot from the Ramada Gateway Plaza

 In most of the world we have two primary sky colors; blue and gray, and you can go to sleep secure in the knowledge that tomorrow, you are quite likely to be looking at one or the other.  In Shanghai, however, you have a few more possibilities. This morning the sky was an odd yellowish brown color.  Yes, you read that right and I am not exagerating, the sky was f&%$@#$ brown, and the air carried with it a vague chemical odor.  All those years of smoking I did may have done less damage to my lungs than just breathing in Shanghai.
