The smog struck back…

Jun07hk_pollutionI am sitting in the Cathay Pacific lounge about to fly back to Hong Kong. I was hoping to send and receive e-mails but for some odd reason I am unable to establish a successful VPN connection. However, I have had a very good visit and am quite optimistic about the team here in Tokyo: switched on and motivated! I arrived on Tuesday night and before heading out of the office stopped to observe the view I had just lost. I guess the southerly winds have stopped and the pollution is now drifting back down from Hong Kong. You guessed it, the above picture is taken from the exact same position as the picture on the clear beautiful day that I started. In case you have any doubts about the pollution in Hong Kong… now you know. As for Tokyo, well, the air quality is quite good but the streets? It is incredibly pristine and clean to a surreal point.
