In this season of the year, yellow sand is carried to Japan by the wind from deserts on the Chinese continent. It's really a nuisance. Lots of people suffer from bronchitis and allergic reactions of the respiratory organs. Laundry that has hung outside gets damaged. Everything outside gets dirty. Doors and windows must be tightly closed. It's really a nuisance.
By the way, my scooter, which had been left in the garage during winter, was also vulnerable to the yellow sand. It easily invades into the scooter, so I cleaned my scooter up thoroughly and wrapped it as you see in the picture below. It's getting warm and the season of motorcycles and bicycles has just started. I'll visit various places and show you the pictures of them.
(Vocabulary)
yellow sand [dust] 黄砂
I remember the annoying dirt that would get all over everything. I didn't know that it came from China. I miss this season in Japan. Spring was always so beautiful there.
Have a good day!
