Typhoon Weekend

Last weekend turned out to be a long weekend. Watching the news last week it was clear that a typhoon was lingering in the Pacific and on course for Taiwan but, as is often the case, many times they tend to veer way of course and don't come near Taiwan. As the week draw to a close though it was clear this typhoon was going to hit Taiwan in a big way, a direct hit from a 'super' typhoon. My afternoon classes on Thursday were cancelled due to the weather getting already bad enough to cause disruption. So it was home to get some essentials for what looked like was going to be a rained in day on Friday. I decided to watch Spirited Away and at about 100:00pm George came home, an unexpected surprise! It was great to know we were going to spend more time together!

Friday turned out to be as expected, very windy and rainy. So we stayed in and watched Red, White, and Blue. Even trips to get food proved quite a hassle. Luckily, for Taipei at least, the weather was a bit better in the afternoon so we headed to Vieshow to watch 'Up'. It was a really good movie and even better to watch in 3D. Then we went for dinner with George's dad, it was father's day after all, and then onto Watersheds, We met Noah, Jack and some of the other gang there and then we headed to Hells Kitchen to meet David.

Sunday was the usual day of relaxing well to face another week.
