8 Popular Destinations Where Air Pollution Could Ruin Your Trip<\/h3>\n

Air pollution does a lot more than cause canceled or postponed vacations \u2014 it kills millions of people worldwide every year, according to the\u00a0World Health Organization<\/a>. Some of the worst places for air pollution are also home to bucket-list-worthy sights. But missing them might be the least of your problems if smog ramps up during your visit: Symptoms of air pollution sickness include nausea, coughing, headache, itchy eyes \u2014 and air pollution can cause long-term breathing problems.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the worst destinations for smog, especially if you already suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems.<\/p>\n

The Taj Mahal attracts thousands of travelers every day, but the city it\u2019s in is one of the worst in the world for air pollution. Smog in Agra can cut visibility so dramatically that you can\u2019t see much more than an outline of the giant tomb, and visitors who don\u2019t cancel their trip during a period of heavy smog can be seen wearing face masks to visit.<\/p>\nMORE<\/a><\/span>\n

Beatle Beat Trivia Answers<\/h3>\n

Question:\u00a0Paul was known as the left-handed Beatle, however another one of the group was also left-handed but learned to play right-handed. Who was that Beatle?<\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0Ringo was a leftie, but learned to play on a right-handed drum kit, which is why he adopted the then unique “matched grip” of the drum sticks that was soon imitated by most rock drummers.\u00a0 It’s also why he would roll backwards (counter-clockwise) around the drum set.\u00a0 An example of this is heard near the end of Day Tripper <\/em>when he starts a roll on the lower-pitch floor tom-tom and finishes the roll on the higher-pitch mounted tom-tom, impossible for most right-handed drummers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Supermarket in California<\/h3>\n

By Allen Ginsberg<\/a><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations!<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What peaches and what penumbras! Whole families shopping at night! Aisles full of husbands! Wives in the avocados, babies in the tomatoes!\u2014and you, Garcia Lorca, what were you doing down by the watermelons?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I wandered in and out of the brilliant stacks of cans following you, and followed in my imagination by the store detective.<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We strode down the open corridors together in our solitary fancy tasting artichokes, possessing every frozen delicacy, and never passing the cashier.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Where are we going, Walt Whitman? The doors close in an hour. Which way does your beard point tonight?<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.)<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Will we walk all night through solitary streets? The trees add shade to shade, lights out in the houses, we’ll both be lonely.<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Will we stroll dreaming of the lost America of love past blue automobiles in driveways, home to our silent cottage?<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ah, dear father, graybeard, lonely old courage-teacher, what America did you have when Charon quit poling his ferry and you got out on a smoking bank and stood watching the boat disappear on the black waters of Lethe?<\/em><\/p>\n

As a descendant of both Leif Ericson and Christopher Columbus, the Amer-Norsk-Italian Boitano quite literally has a passion for travel to unexplored locations in his blood. He has traveled to over 56 nations, including Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, as well as lived with a nomadic Basque shepherd family outside of Bakersfield, California for six hours. He brings to Traveling Boy a love of all forms of travel, and a disdain for any lamb food products.","url":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/author\/ed\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9902"}],"version-history":[{"count":32,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9902\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21514,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9902\/revisions\/21514"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
