Lots of buskers in Dali ... Some make as much as 700 in 2 hours of work during the busy time of year.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Dali AQI 185

Very unusually polluted day today in Dali with a lot of people blaming construction and renovations for all the dust in the air .... But I would like to blame a unusual south east wind.... Generally it is from the north or west.

I believe it is a combination of the factors.

Had 3 air filters. Steam penetrates the lungs at a higher rate as well as your skin breathes and absorbs it. Burger and diet coke for sure. Whole wheat bun. Deep fried chicken burger large fries gravy and diet coke.

@alien hot shower opens the pours and you actually absorb more of the chemicals as well as breathing then in with steam. In Beijing almost more important then the drinking water.

I just realize .. I have a travel Berkey ... They are great filters... But more like a portable or a Brita on Steroids .... The Aquasana I use for all my cooking soup pasta bread etc ...you need some of the minerals for breads and rising etc .... If just for drinking water sure I can see the Berkey being great and cheaper. I use filtered water for everything except the shower in Dali... But probably should get a shower filter as well. In Beijing I used a shower filter in fact you had to.

Ps the full house aquasana is just 10000 to 16000 depending on your flow.
