The Smelly City

It's a good job the IOC isn't in town this week.

After 24 hours or so of continuous rain over Tuesday and Wednesday, most of Beijing was today covered in a fine slick of malodorous sludge which had... erm... risen up out of the sewers as a result of the deluge.

The streets stank. The drains stank. Even my tapwater stank this morning. Ugh!

Not exactly a glorious advertisement for the city that is to host The Summer Olympics next year.
