I
was up for an hour in the middle of the night and went back to sleep. My asthma
woke me up. I never had it before and I don’t like it and I don’t want to live
with it. I look out the window from our apartment and I can barely see the
other side of Taichung through all the smog. It’s not as bad as Taipei and
certainly not as bad as Beijing but it is bad enough to give me a slight case
of asthma. The designer face mask I wear when I ride to work isn’t enough. I
have to wear a surgical mask and wear it every time I go outside.
Before
when I lived in Taipei, the air was filthier but I paid it no mind because I
was younger and I was a cigarette smoker; I had no right to complain. For all
the assholes who insist on taking their scooters everywhere they go, near and
far (even Leona sometimes) they should insist the government build a subway or
improve the bus system. This is a city of three million people with no subway
or comprehensive public bus system! The people don’t say shit about it and the government
does shit. I have to suffer for those assholes. For me, it is the underbelly of
paradise here. It makes me angry.

It is a beautiful day. The sun is shining,
the smog doesn’t look too thick, and temperature is 61 now going up to 80.
