Yellow Dust?

You know, pretty much anyway that I have ever been I probably would've sounded nuts if I told people that I am sniffing yellow dust. It's not exactly like it sounds, but it is strange. All over the South Korean Peninsula there is a haze that resides. Its not just any haze, its a yellow haze and it blows down from China and Mongolia. I was informed at one of my in processing briefings that it is pollen and desert dust. I was joking with Adam saying that it is China sending poisonous dust into the air that will slowly kill us in ten years. So far, most of the days have been really hazy, and there is a noticeable chalky taste in my mouth. He is a picture but keep in mind it is late in the afternoon about 5:30.

Today was interesting because I was issued my chemical warfare equipment. However, I have another class coming up where I will actually utilize it. When it is all together it can be pretty heavy, so we'll see how all that goes.

I am trying to talk Adam in to going up north to the DMZ this weekend but he wasn't really all that enthusiastic. I guess this tour is an underground site and it can get pretty cold. So instead I have shifted the focus to visiting Seoul. Not much else going on today but training. I'll update soon again.
