Hong Kong Pollution

Sorry for the short post today!  Didn't have any time to translate today, so instead I'm posting a picture that comes from the self-autonomous region of Hong Kong.  A good deal of Hong Kong's economy is based on tourism, so when pollution began to mar the beautiful skies of Hong Kong, officials got down to business!... or maybe they just put up pictures of what Hong Kong SHOULD look like (that way you can still get your Facebook picture)

Caption: Hong Kong, August 21st, 2013.  Because of severe smog in Hong Kong, tourists from the Mainland stood in front of a large banner so that they could take a picture of themselves in a Hong Kong of blue skies and white clouds.  Hong Kong's air pollution is getting worse by the day, and pollution indicators have already reached incredibly high levels.
