Dusty days

Since Sunday, the air in Okinawa has been filled with dust, blowing from China. The sky, which is normally blue, is filled with clouds and it seems that a reddish brown fog has taken over the island.

While there hasn't been any reports about the air quality, it does seem to be concerning. Especially when the international news is reporting concerns in China, Korea and Taiwan. What's next door to Taiwan? Okinawa. I guess this tiny island isn't worth the trouble.

But until the dust settles, we plan to keep the windows secured and limite Olivia's exposure to the outdoors.

Oh China.
