Yan Zhan and I are looking forward to meeting you. The haze is up and down. It seems to be better these past few days. We are getting some rain and it helps. If too much haze gets into the lungs, we just cough it out again :). The US$ is very strong in this region. Lots of buying power for touristas. Unless you are burnt in the NY stock exchange this is a golden opportunity to pick up some bargains. Imagine a Hasselblad 503CW body is going for about US$1400 brand new and I heard that a 35/2 ASPH is cheaper than the US price brand new with international warranty. It's worth a bit of haze in the system. After all we breathe it in day and night. Dan K.
