Open, I think air pollution may be one of the reasons causing the weather getting hotter. You’d better not stay outside in the sun too long in order to keep from getting sunstroke.

HI Elinor, Xi An was dusty during the summer due to lack of rain and wind. Not only the dust from the northern desert would settle in Xi An, there were many mining activities such as coal and copper mines that polluted Xi An.

I am not sure i will explore much as the weather is very hot. Mostly I should be staying indoor unless weather permit.

I left my house at 6 am. Still now I am stuck in Beijing Airport due to thunder storm.

I have been waiting here since 4 pm…..

This beijing international airport is huge with all the necessary hardwares. But the software have rooms for improvement.

International flight passengers have to board the skytrain to collect the luggages and when reaching the station, the annoucement actually asked the passengers to ‘get out’ of the train in a nice way…

hehe.

Anywhere the thunder was still coming in…thus I am worried about the trip and my driver at the other end.

Hi Open,

You seem to dislike coming back to Xian again.

But, I am expecting you to share with us about what you explore and how boring the trip is during the hottest time.
