Yellow Sand

Here in Korea there is a problem with the Yellow Sand that blows over from the Gobi Desert. The levels are measured everyday and given a rating based on the severity of the condition. Basically, it is very bad for your lungs and based on the amount in the air, you are supposed to do everything from not exercise outside to not go outside at all. This is especially important for young children and those with asthma, etc. Today was a bad day so we're keeping the windows closed and the air purifier on high. There was no outside recess at school either. Just another little fun fact about life in Korea.
