Is he working or is caught off guard?

 

 

"Chinese officials are trying to make the stuff go away. Hundreds of soldiers cleaned it up by hand in a seaside park Wednesday. About 10,000 ordinary citizens were doing the same along the shore"

 

It's apparently working

I'd like to see some "after" pics.

" As of June 29, the algae had affected 13,000 sq km, 400 of which were covered by the outbreak.

 

By July 2, about 180,000 tons of algae had been removed from the water and seashore. The algae covered only 48.8 sq km of water.

 

"We have stressed to all those devoted to this campaign that priority should be given to the Olympic venue and we expect to eliminate all these algae before July 15," said Yuan Zhiping, assistant to the chairman of the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Committee. "

Pure genius. I couldn't have ever said it better myself.

 

Thought I enjoyed the sequel much better.
