Oh My Beijing!!!!!


Have you ever been to Beijing, do you want to? Well if you do then I have some enthralling information for you so keep reading. Did you know that Beijing has a population of 21.52 million that's more than New York? Well it’s true and Beijing has a lot of complications due to their population. They are trying to control their population but its not going so well their population grew 50% in a year. In Beijing there is not a lot of water or landfills due to so many people. Each person only get 119 cubic meters of water and the international standard is 1,000 cubic meters per person. 119 cubic meters is 502984 cups thats not a lot if you think about. So my question to you is would you move to Beijing if you only had 119 cubic meters of water per year?

  1. I really like your use of descriptive words here, Daiah. Did you know that people should stick to bottled water when they visit, but tap water is ok to shower and wash foods in without getting affected? I would expect tap water to be off limits but I guess not. This reminds me of when I went to Manhattan, and my mom learnt from a native New Yorker that the tap water is the best and most safe water to drink. I think you should read Shreeya K.’s blog because she talks about the nasty smells and views of India. You should read it because maybe this could give you an idea of water could be like on the other side of Asia! Good Job on your post!
