Summers Finally Here and also Taiwan

Schools over. I still feel nostalgic whenever I remember Washington, with it's trees and fresh air. Now i'm in Taiwan, breathing in hot muggy air. I don't know why but whenever i breath in this air it does not make me satisfied. Like in Washington, if you take a deep breath and smell the morning air, and the pine needles, and the flowers, I feel a sense of happiness and satisfaction. Here, when i breath in too much air i feel like retching, and i feel like crap, and i feel suffocated. After a while though you get used to it. It's an unsettling thought for me though. Theres so many drains that give off the noxious fumes of sewege, and mainly, sulfur. And i'm used to breathing in those chemicals. I wonder whats the lifespan here in Taipei?

  1. In Bejing, China, breathing the air there is equivalent to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Imagine that! All the pollution is bad too. But you're not going to be there for a long time anyway, so enjoy!
