No running today.
You may have heard that Shanghai is experiencing some massive air pollution. It's true. Visibility is minimal, face masks are typical, and everyone is supposed to stay inside. We can see the smog particles actually coming in the windows like mist. Inside our school this week there was a bit of haze.
We were supposed to have a field trip this weekend with my scholarship team, but it's been postponed due to the smog. Basically when the smog gets like this, the rule is everyone stays inside. School was not cancelled this week for us, but I've heard that schools in Nanjing are cancelled.
I do wonder how it gets so bad and where it all comes from. The World Health Organization (WHO) says the air quality should be 20 ppm. In Shanghai at the moment it is 506 ppm.
It's like a ghost town outside my school.
