Typhoon Scmyphoon

Today is Sunday, our first full day off of meetings and workshops since I got here, score! Nichole and I are planning on buckling down and really power cleaning our apartment and getting it all ready for the school year since the kiddos arrive on Wednesday.

One of our coworkers informed us yesterday that it was probably going to be a good day to do some fall cleaning too since there were typhoons headed right for us. Yes, the plural is correct in that case because in his words, "there are two typhoons coming together right over Taiwan and they're going to hit Sunday." Terrifying!

Last year we only had one littler typhoon and it was pretty scary as it was- just like a really bad storm at home with more wind and a LOT more rain. So I figured that two typhoons converging on Taiwan would be like the apocalypse. I also had no idea how a typhoon, with all of the intense wind, would feel like on the 10th floor! My guess was that it would be extra scary.

Funny enough though, I just woke up this morning to see sunny skies. It's possible that the storm is still coming and it will build throughout the day, but right now I think it's time for a nice scooter ride to get some last supplies for the apartment! Typhoon scmyphoon!

If the skies turn black and open up to pour down upon us, I will surely post a picture later. Or I'll just post some pictures of our clean (hopefully) and organized (keep your fingers crossed) apartment!
