Rainy

Apparently July gets around 60% of Beijing's annual rainfall. I think I can believe it. Yesterday it rained all day and it was like being in an actual shower (not just a rain shower)!

Normally this fountain is bone dry but it was overflowing!
We have had about 2km visibility lately, it's been really polluted and humid, but after the rain things cleared right up.

People are saying that it's going to be really hot and humid for the next 4 weeks so we'll see how it goes.

Here are my photos from Chicago. They aren't as good as I was hoping, I didn't really take them at the right times of day but some of them are nice.
