A Sandstorm Back in April

sandstorm2.jpgI just finish posting our new photos and while browsing for more photos to upload I came across these photos. I took these months ago. I remember well, Rene and I were at home just enjoying one weekend afternoon together. At some point, Rene thought of opening the window in the bathroom to let some fresh air in. After just a few hours, I went to the bathroom and this is what I saw!

Because it was still too cold that day, Rene didn’t open the window that much. It was just a tiny tiny opening… but the amount of dust that came in was too much! I know that the air in Changchun is polluted but I never thought it was that polluted!

sandstorm1.jpgAfter a few days we learned that it was not Changchun’s polluted air that caused it. It was a sandstorm in some desert near China. Strong winds carried the fine sand grains all the way to Changchun. Anyway, I should be thankful that it was just in the bathroom. I needed not a long time to vacuum clean it. Poor Birgit and Rene. They left all their windows open so I am pretty much sure that they spent their weekend cleaning their whole flat.
