In 1993...

...there were no typhoons. It was the year I arrived in Taiwan and I was kind of disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing one - something exciting to put in the journal.

Now we've got typhoons by the bucket. Typhoon Khanun appears to be headed this way according to some reports, but at the time of posting the Taiwan weather folks seem to think it's going to veer off before it reaches us. Hope so.



Everyone out there named Khanun try not to fret. It's probably not going to kill any (or many) people. It's the girls and women called Katrina you want to feel sorry for.
