Perhaps not culture shock per se, but when I fly back to LA, I am always shocked at how gray and brown everything is from the air.

- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI just moved to LA from Beijing. I'm shocked at how clean the air is, there are never bad AQI days (at least nothing over 200), and...I can smell flowers. I visited often enough, so it shouldn't have been a surprise, but I realized I wasn't really smelling anything but dust and air pollution for 9 years.
