*Cough, Cough*

I can officially add “Suspended Paint Particles” to the list of pathogenic substances involuntarily inhaled by my lungs in foreign countries. It’s starting to become a scary list….

• Copious amounts of Carbon Monoxide


• Coal smoke


• Dust particles


• Sheesha (albeit voluntary)


• Cigarette Smoke (impossible to avoid, it seems)


• Sulphur Dioxide


• Diesel Exhaust


• Sand

My poor lungs. I’m not sure you ever adapt to inhaling pollution on a daily basis.

The paint particles were a result of Megan, Simon, and I painting the living room yesterday. We used cheap Egyptian paint…that should’ve sent off warning signals. Next time I’m going to look into surgical masks. I think Farzina might have some.

Regardless, we now have a blue living room. All we need is some Nemo-esque fish on the wall and we’ll have ourselves the Great Barrier Reef.
