the inevitable Shanghai pollution.

Something that Shanghai is notorious for is its terrible air pollution. The first week, I got the same question all the time, "How's the air??" The air in Shanghai doesn't smell any different from another large city, but it certainly looks different.
I've only seen a blue sky twice in the two weeks I've been here. twice. Shanghai also has a humid climate, but this winter was fairly dry which only makes the effects of the pollution worse on our throats! Several of the NYU in Shanghai students (including myself) have already gotten a sore throat from the poor air quality.
