I lived in Beijing for awhile and almost everyday the visibilty was less than a quarter-mile. This was definently not fog, as I lost my voice due to the nitrogen dioxide. You must have showed up on rainy days if you didn't think the air pollution wasn't bad. Herman, there is no way that you can compare the air pollution to anything in the United States.

Four billion around the world watched the ceremony, Steve. Have you developed the second impression, yet? Watching the Olympics is to waste more electricity, especially the Games hosted by the Chinese! See how badly Beijing has been polluted! Right, Steve? Boycutt the Games to save the environment and free Tibet! At least Steve will watch it with masks and glasses on! Let's go to your third and fourth impression and skip your second impression, ok?

Whose first? There must have been tens of millions of people in Beijing! This first is must be Steve Almasy's only. Should he also write his impression of the smell when he enters a toilet in Beijing Airport? Compare that with that of L.A.'s, too! "First impression ..." Whose first?
