Stop Breathing - Start Smoking

A couple of days ago, I wrote about the low temperatures in Switzerland (they are rising). On the other hand, Malaysia is facing a heat wave.

Word has come through from my friend Jackson Lim that Malaysia now is covered with haze (thin layer of smoke from the forest fires around Malaysia and Indonesia). Now its more healthy to smoke than to breathe in Malaysia. (see article)

Update at noon:
Jackson Lim: "Well, unfortunately for the smokers, some rain got through and now the haze is much lesser now, almost back to the normal level ( then again what's the normal level???? ) Back to paying RM 5.50 to get a fix again....."

Craig and I have experienced a little of that when we lived in Sydney. Its not pleasant. And we were smokers. I'm surprised we can get out of bed in the morning, to be honest!
