Beijing air feels just like home
Seems like my hometown, Skopje, and the city where I currently live, Beijing, have more things in common than I originally thought. One apparent occurrence is that both are heavily polluted, with air quality at the hazardous level. Beijing to

First few weeks as a laowai
