Big Beijing Haze Problem

Big Beijing Haze Problem

I read some where that the grey fog I saw while in Beijing recently is actually dirty air or smog/haze caused by pollution. PhhbbTtt! :P It’s a big problem for Beijing. While I was in holiday in Beijing for 8 days last September 2007 with my lady, I only saw the sun in the sky for 2 of the days. Now it is worst.


Recently some important flights like the giant airbus “Super Jumbo” promotion were cancelled at the Beijing International airport because the smog was very bad. I hope Beijing can resolve the issue as having a grey sunless sky 80% of the week is not going to look good at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Furthermore, the smog/haze could be hazardous to the health.

Balm Street Theater Show in Kazan, Tatarstan

Balm Street Theater Show in Kazan, Tatarstan

Gulfiya brought me to watch a theater show at a theater situated on Balm Street, Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. It was an unsuspecting building looking to the similar neo classical buildins on the street. However, I do recall that it having large entrance doors. There was a horde of school children. There must have been hundreds of them lined up in rows of five approaching the theater like us.

I told Gulfiya that they were probably on a school excursion to watch the theater show. It was great. The kids were excited, talking loudly & bursting through the entrances like people would at rock star concerts. Perhaps it was because the kids were excited to be out at night as normally they would be at home.

Compare Loans for the Best Deal

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

My first experience of taking out a loan was study related. I took a loan to pay for tuition fees. I am really not a fan of taking loans. I intend & plan to take loans only when I am sure that I am able to repay the loan & that the loan shall help make my business more profitable. Some people take loans thinking that 8 years for example is a short repayment period. Plenty of things could happen in 8 years & one may end up in debt trap, unable to repay the loan. Anyway, whether a person is interested in personal loans, unsecured loans, secured loans, or etc, it is best to compare loans & take the best deal.
