I think everyone has seen the news. The past few days in Beijing were awful. The pollution was extremely bad. Doing anything outside caused me to feel nauseated. So, on days like this, how does a 老外 beat the pollution?

Pollution in Beijing (ok, actually this is Fallout 4, but still, very similar)

Stay Inside
On days like this, it is best to stay inside. There are many things to do inside, such as read, and watch TV, and get on the internet……..oh wait, I have to go to the other side of town today. What do I do?

Mask
To go outside, you need to wear a mask. Just breathing the air is going to kill me, so I bought a mask. But after 5 hours, I discovered that the mask had stained. Perhaps I need something else……

This is a proper mask to wear to go outside

Bring a Vacuum
I think bringing a vacuum with me is a good idea. That’s what Wang Renzheng did. He vacuumed the air and made a pollution brick. But I think that bringing it with me is going to be a little difficult. And the air is so dirty that I could make enough pollution bricks to build a house.

As long as the battery is good, you can try to vacuum the air

Today the weather is much much much better. Today I learned that the best thing to do is to wait for the wind to blow the smog away. In fact, it is as if the weather was not bad. Today I see buildings that I never knew existed!

This is Beijing when there is no pollution!
