On Pollution

Pollution here in Tegus is horrible. It's been notably worse this past week, because it hasn't rained in awhile. Tegus is a bowl-shaped city, because it's surrounded by mountains. Therefore, all of the pollution "hangs" in the city and clogs our lungs. It's fantastic, really!

One of my roommates has been sick her whole time here. We think it's the pollution. It's worse, also, because there aren't any regulations about carbon emission. People buy diesel because it's cheaper, thus furthering to our early death by pollution.

However, I'm going to La Tigra today, and the air is fantastic. I've never enjoyed clean air more than when I last went to La Tigra!
