ahh allergies.

It's been very dusty here the past few weeks, we even had this crazy windstorm last week that blew dirt all over the place. In Canada I usually like the wind (unless it's -30 out) but here it is so incredibly dusty and gross. I would have thought that being in the mountains in a pretty humid area would mean we didn't have this problem but it seems to be China-wide. Spring is the worst, all the sand from the deserts in the north blows all over the country, combine that with the pollution and you've got a yucky situation.

I really miss Canada sometimes, I know there's still snow and it's cold and everyone complains about it but just think, it could be worse. I think I'm really going to appreciate the little things about home so much more after I return at the end of the program. I know it's easy to forget in the busyness of our day to day lives but we really are very lucky.
