Walked out the door this morning to my fresh start for the new year, only to be greeted by air that was anything but. As if a crew of burglars had swept the streets in the middle of the night and robbed the New Territories of its signature fresh air, my entire 10-minute walk to the bus stop smelled like Marlboros, although not a single smoker was in sight. Did I just get a taste of the new smoke-free Hong Kong? Is this what it's going to be like now that smokers are banned from huffing and puffing indoors?
Was lucky enough to countdown to the new year while looking at Hong Kong's beautiful night scenery under very clear skies. How long do we have till this famous sight gets completely eaten away by our city's infamous coat of smog? This is the equivalent of a terminal illness for any old hood, let alone "Asia's world city", and we're in the final stage.

I agree with you about the increasingly bad air pollution. I haven't seen a clear blue sky in HK in a very long time.
Btw, the white on dark brown (brownish burgundy?) is kind of hard on the eyes. Perhaps you could rethink the colour scheme. Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.
