Gas mask in a fancy sack

China's smog issues have hotels there now offering gas masks as a part of guest amenities.

This cheeky photo making the rounds of several internet sites was taken by a guest at the Shanghai Fairmont. It shows a very nice embroidered package for what in fact is an air-filter mask, as opposed to gas mask headgear reminiscent of World War I trenches. Nice gesture, but I'd still prefer fancy soaps!
