Snow Day
Can you imagine my delight when on Sunday November 4, I woke up to snow. What a delight compared to the day before Saturday November 3, it was a very ugly day in Beijing. It was rainy, cold, and gray. The sky wasn't just gray because of the rain it was gray because the air quality was in the 200's. ...
