After Saturday night's adventure through the Night Market, Sunday was supposed to be my nice relaxing day to catch up here - grocery shopping, finish unpacking, finish redecorating, and do my lesson plans for my new classes this week. Yea, right!
It's typhoon season!! And the word does not quite describe a tropical cyclone, which is heavy winds, torrential rain and giant floods everywhere!! But I didn't let this put a damper on my afternoon plans - so Lee and I, along with 4 of our other dorm mates all trecked through the storm and outside to hail a couple cabs. So the first cabby did not even know where the store was that we wanted to go to, so we climbed out and by the time we got another one it was so crazy outside that the 6 of us all piled into one cab!! Including the driver there was 7 of us, 5 in the back, soaking wet and laughing our asses off! Once we made it inside the multi-purpose Care4 (like a Costco meets Wal-Mart) we spent the next 3 hours shopping, only to pile all of our stuff outside again and back home, this time in 2 cabs. The crazy part is, one of the guys named Neil (England) bought a bike today, so the only way he could get it home was to ride it back through the storm!! I just would have bought it another day :o)
All in all, a great experience - hopefully great enough to keep me happy for the next 5 days, as my Mondays and Fridays schedules consist of me teaching at 3 different places from 9 to 9! Wish me luck!

Hey Meesh!!!!
I LOVE The pics of your place- and ur trip to Care4 sounded awesome! I personally love typhoon season- the weather is crazy, but it's like one of those days when you're stuck inside the house b/c of a huge snow storm... you get to relax and just watch tv like you're in the eye of the storm cuz everything outside is going crazy :P
Good luck on those lesson plans!!! Man it almost sounds like homework :P No worries, I'm studying so we can do work together.
Miss you, love you and send my love to Lee :)
