It looked like Fengshen, the typhoon that tipped a ferry and killed people in the Philippines, was headed my way. Now it doesn’t anymore. At one point I prayed I wouldn’t get hit too badly by it – now I’m not sure I like the answer if it involves flooding mainland China instead. I have a sneaking suspicion Taiwan could handle a typhoon better than China. (Taiwanese forecast here.)
I’m home free. Fengshen hit Shenzhen, just east of Hong Kong – and it’s not like China wasn’t already battling floods.
phew! i was going to suggest you buy a boat/raft and wear your swim trunks under your clothes. 😉
If I had my trunks, I’d be in the hotel swimming pool…
