Today is the first time the pollution got to the “very high” level. We actually kept the kids in for break time and activities.

Hong Kong Island actually went up to 11. One of the teachers I work with said Hong Kong likes to blame mainland China, but research shows Hong Kong is in fact responsible for their pollution.  Though this is highly debatable between the masses here in Hong Kong.

Luckily, we are in an area that is slightly better.  We are not on the island.  We are in the New Territories, so quite far (relatively) from the Island.
