I was going to go for a long Cheonggyecheon walk this morning, but I found this link to the U.S. Military 18th Medical Command on the Lost Nomad's blog and changed my mind. The last time I went for a full day walk on a bad yellow sand day, I felt like crap for a couple of days. I've a link to this website on my sidebar so that I can easily keep track of it.
I now have masks tucked away in all of my bags.
The only good thing about this is that I learned something new. I didn't know what 'ug/m3' meant. It is 'micrograms per cubic metre'. At 1064 ug/m3 near my home, the advisory is to "cancel prolonged and heavy exertion outdoor activities; limit other outdoor activities to bare essentials." Actually that's not really true. At 1000 ug/m3, the advisory is to "Remain indoors and keep activities low." So, we've just crept over the 'very unhealthy' to 'hazardous' barrier.
I guess I shouldn't do any housework either. In fact, keeping my activity level low may just mean lying in front of the TV watching the latest James Bond movie: Casino Royale.

Good on ya. Bob needed some company anyway.
Btw, that's µg, not ug...
I've seen Casino Royale and liked it quite a bit.
I read that Quidam, Cirque du Soleil is now in Seoul. A fabulous performance/great music. If you get a chance, you must see the show.
