A post with MY feelings about living in China is in the works.<br /><br />I see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Dust" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia mentions</a> some trees South Korea gave to China for help with the yellow dust: "These trees, however, were planted only by highways, because the People's Republic of China stated to South Korea that they could receive the trees but that they would decide where the trees would be planted." However, it doesn't appear to provide a source for that claim. If you happen to know of one, I'd be curious to see it.Brian Glucrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144046195231802682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263613130427456647.post-75041203259325633852013-03-13T09:22:31.948+08:002013-03-13T09:22:31.948+08:00How do YOU feel about living there?

I couldn't stand Seoul during the days of "yellow dust" (which is happening now, I am missing it, yay) - and what we got is just a fraction of what looms over Chinese major cities.<br /><br />Funny story I once read about yellow dust - the Korean government, in an attempt to stem the problem from the source, sent a bunch of trees over to China to be planted near the border, ostensibly to create a kind of barrier that would catch the dust, or something. Chinese officials took the trees and then just planted them wherever they damn well pleased. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
