I lost my voice this week as a result of being in my first serious sand storm. I got a sinus infection that after a few days affected my throat. Some of my Beijinger friends told me that maybe I was "too frail" for Beijing, as if I somehow lacked the proper organ for inhaling the Gobi desert. At least, I didn't call in sick, which I think won me some points with the boss.
