Eric -  It was everywhere!  We had high hopes that getting out in the 
rural areas would mean getting away from the air pollution, but it 
seemed just as bad in the country.  People there talked about how 
much worse it is the summer and said that autumn is actually the 
clearest time of the year.  We did have a few clear days after rain 
and wind blew the smog away, but I have lots of photos where you 
can't see more than a block because of the thick haze.  And it's not 
fog - it burns your throat and eyes.  Many of the people who worked 
in the streets or rode bikes wore surgical masks.  It was worse in 
Shanghai than Beijing, though.
