Typhoon Jangmi
Greetings from Taipei! After 24 hours of travel, we are in Taipei. Just in time for the strongest typhoon to hit Taiwan this year. The bus ride from the airport to Taipei was a little bit like rides at amusement parks. Because it's 2 levels, we could feel the bus swaying on the road due to high winds. Once we got off the bus, we had to walk 5 mins to Wei's grandparents' place. Within seconds, we were both wet, and could not keep walking while holding our umbrellas and luggages. The wind is something out of this world, blowing like crazy. Wei's umbrella is the first casualty. We went out for lunch with his grandmother, i had a $3 odon! After showering, 4 hours nap, we put on dry clothes and came out of the hotel. Only to find most businesses are closed. That includes some convenient stores, restaurants, and shops. Thank goodness for Comic King!
