Coal Mining Town LinfenInitially, had no idea who these VBS guys are, but I came across their site doing a search on North Korea (I know, I know but it looks like an interesting place to visit). Along the way, I noticed their documentary series on LinFen in Shanxi province, which is supposedly one of the most polluted places on the planet, where it rains black and even tourism officials give away complimentary face masks. (Worth a read – This guy spent an entire month training English teachers for an NGO. His post on the subject is quite fascinating)
