It took long enough, but it appears that spring is finally here! I still can’t believe it was snowing in parts of the country not even a few weeks ago. The weather is such a strange thing.
For those of you that may not be familiar with it, yellow dust is a seasonal meteorological phenomenon which affects much of East Asia sporadically during the springtime months. The dust originates in the deserts of Mongolia, northern China and Kazakhstan where high-speed surface winds and intense dust storms kick up dense clouds of fine, dry soil particles. Thanks Wikipedia!
It hasn’t been too bad this year, but my first few springs in the country were pretty gross. I had always assumed that all the yellow stuff that covered cars and whatnot was pollen, and figured I wouldn’t have any sort of reaction to it (since I had never suffered from allergies before). My head still hurts when I think about how wrong I was. If you’re worried, it’s actually not THAT bad. The worst I’ve had to deal with is the usual symptoms that come with any other spring allergies. Honestly, it may just be that I’m allergic to something else in the air here. Whatever it is, it makes spring a little less enjoyable than I’d like for it to be.
