Beijing is crowded and polluted, I had read multiple times. I even saw the work of a photogrqpher who had captured the beauty of the city led through the path of pollution in air, water and land.
As I complete my immigration and take a cab the first thing I see is how hazy Beijing is for a hot summer day of 33 degree celsius. I could see a few buildings but the ones about 100 mtrs away were just structures without any details for me because of the haze.
Would I have noticed this and given it so much of importance if I hadnt known of the pollution level in Beijing - probably not. This would have looked foggy and beautiful to me - atleast until I would have coughed or got choked in the polluted air.
Well talk about news conditioning you - strtaight up in front for me.
I have posted the below pic on facebook with the heading 'pollution is the price beinv paid'. I would get a few likes and I would leave the polluted imprint of Beijing on someone else's mind.
