I have not seen the sun for days, but I finally found a data jack.

The uniform sky gets a bit dis-orient-ing

as if I were in the Matrix

and then I see the Eiffel Tower replica in the haze.

  15. You see, sis, chinese are expeditious people, so instead of making a lot of replicas hither and yon… they made 1 big replica.

    Of Las Vegas. 😉

  16. Windows of the World in Shenzhen?

  17. Yes, poking up in the distance.

    P.S. What fun to rediscover this comment thread… thanks.

    I just got back from another trip and there is still no sun… They are going to try to clear the air for the Olympics by shutting down the nearby power plants for a few weeks. If it works, I wonder how the local people/politicians will respond once they know it could be better… A glimpse of the sun could be enlightening
