Nanmadol

Currently there is a Typhoon moving it's way across Taiwan. Actually, I believe it has just been downgraded to a Tropical Storm. I got a text this morning from my boss to say we have no classes today. In some Counties the government has called for schools to be closed for today. I can't find any such thing for Taichung (the city I live in on the West Coast) online. The storm should reach this part of the Island later in the evening. It's nearly 13:30 here and it is only a little windy. I did a bit of food shopping this morning to make sure I had supplies in.

Here are a few pictures of the storm so far.

Nanmadol is the storm on the left. On the right is Talas, a large Tropical Storm bound for Japan (exptected to make landfall on Friday) that is predicted to be upgraded to Typhoon status.


I live in an area where it is white here, as we haven't had any rain thusfar.

New Pad

Well...I am in my new place. I have not yet moved all my things from my old apartment, I shall be on the case of that today! I have one class that finished at 4pm, then the rest of the day shall be spent moving stuff, mostly by scooter. I don't want to ask anyone to help, as the only time people have is the weekend. I certainly don't want to eat into my friends leisure time.
Having said that, my awesome friend Andrew (whom I also work with) helped me pack last Sunday. He was amazing...packing worthy of Mum. Haha! We had all my stuff packed (from two rooms, as one was a studio of sorts) and the rooms cleaned in no time at all!

Today an engineer came by and hooked up my wireless. Wireless! YAY! So, now I have the internet. I have a connection I can access anytime. I plan on backdating some blog entries, because I have some awesome pictures and stories to share. However, I have to get ready for work right now.

Love to all
