today taipei stood still and braced itself. trees were uprooted outside our house and i woke up numerous times to the sound of whuuuuur whoooooooo waaaaaoooooo outside the walls. the windows were leaking, the whole city was off work, the streets were flooded the night before already, the trees were being punished, finally, for harbouring all those damn birds that shit on you as you walk beneath.. the weather was moody and disgruntled. i stayed in almost all day, playing fifa 2002 against john, eating some peculiar snacks that tasted great, finally leaving the house to go eat shabu shabu (hot pot) down the road... which was great.. beef, prawns, fish balls, salads, sweet corn, etc etc all infront of you on a plate with a big pot of boiling water infront of you to cook it all in... then back to the apartment, ange came over and we all watched the station agent before heading to our respective beds and calling it a night......jared and john hoping that tomorrow too the typhoon would be so bad as to cancel school again.......high hopes.
