where I am, Singapore, the haze is getting worse. our PSI reading crossed the 100 mark and our government and MAlaysian government are urging jakarta to act. Too bad for the tourists who chose this time of the year to holiday here. Farmers in Jakarta are still using the slash and burn method cos its cost effective and and satelite images are showing a lot of hot spots. what is Indonesia's response? "it has only been a week. we supply oxygen for the whole year and no one says anything." I mean wth..."only' been a week? people are like coughin away here...has the haze affected where you are at?

Where I am, a haze is just a common thing. It doesn't affect me at all because I got so used to it. Singapore is the cleanest country and I think this kind of situation is just hurting the residents who are not so used in this kind of pollution. I hope it'll clear away soon since people are starting to get sick.
