Haze

After several days in India, we flew back today to Singapore. As we landed we noticed that the whole island was covered by an orange fog. Pollution?

Nope.

It's the haze.

People are burning fields and trees in Indonesia and the wind is blowing the smoke towards Singapore. Conclusion it smells burnt everywhere and it's very unpleasant to breathe. 

As advised by the government, we kept the windows closed and turned on the air conditioning in the apartment. We will also limit our outdoor activities.

Apparently it's been already like that for four days. I hope this won't last too long, especially as Claudia, Wolfram's cousin, and her sons arrive tomorrow to visit us. We may not be able to go to the zoo with such poor air quality. What do we do with kids indoor?
