They could have picked a better site IMO but it has so many touristy sites close by and the Tienanmen Square, Mao , Wall Forbidden City Summer Palace etc etc.. all going on.. The weather will likely be hot and horribly humid which sure won't help. We were lucky as it was just 30C and under but we hit the 40 mark in Shanghai. The humidity is oppressive even with clean air.. I don't dispute the pollution Bill, just the presentation that is so often spun in the media as if no one there cares or is addressing it as it spirals out of control... Geez just checked... I haven't posted here since 04.. not that I've posted a lot.. I do remember the first time I posted here and shot from the lip... I was given the chance to shoot myself or behave with more decorum .. always the better route :O) blackie
