Waiting For The MONSOON
The weather people said yesterday that the thick, heavy fog that was blanketing Hong Kong (and to a lesser extent Guangzhou), disrupting ferry and air traffic in and out of the city wouldn't change until the monsoon came through.
The freezing cold weather is apparently gone. On the first of the month, the high temperature was 50 deg. F. Yesterday the high was 75. But, now there's constant rain or fog and overcast skies.
Laundry stays just as wet three days after it's been hanging as it is straight out of the laundry machine. The film of moisture on the blackboards in the classroom makes them chalk-resistant. Even the paper quickly absorbs the water from the air or the surface it's placed on.
I heard from another teacher (who heard from her students) that we should get used to this for a while.
