Air pollution

I'm now back in Tokyo. Five days have passed since I came back and I'm already getting tired of this dusty and subtropical weather in this city. People say that it is the best season now in Japan, but it's still too hot and humid for me. I worry what is going on because I know the rainy season starts within a couple of months. Japan is now in a long vacation called "Golden Week," and less people and cars are in this city. Nevertheless, I feel that roads are full of cars and people. What I most dislike is the smell of the air in this city. It is even smoky and my face and hands get coated with oily dust after riding a motorcycle for ten minutes. Everything looks hazy and I miss the clear and crispy air in Vancouver a little. If there is good point in this smoky air, ultraviolet rays are blocked naturally to some degree.
