Kawasaki's sky is tinged eerie-yellow. The yellow sand from China is here.

Wow! The mountain I used to live near in Seoul (Mt. Gwanak) isn't even visible from within the city!
Between the sandstorms & pollution blown in from China & Mongolia, I think we only had two days of good air this entire spring.

Today is my last day in Japan this year before heading back to Canada to see my family. Alas, it is not early enough to avoid the first dust storm from the Chinese deserts (known as "yellow sand" 黄砂 in Japanese). Hopefully my laundry dries before this hits! #DustStorm #YellowSand #黄砂 https://www.data.jma.go.jp/env/kosa/fcst/
