Life in Japan : Typhoon No. 18

Typhoon No. 18 was here yesterday. And I took this picture from my balcony yesterday when the typhoon swept over.

Seriously? Doesn't the word "typhoon" suggests something a little bit more...disruptive??? I mean, it was a little uncanny to have all your classes cancelled when it's really sunny out. Made absolutely no sense!!!

Janice's first experience of typhoon in Japan - is WTH, WTH, WTH, and more WTH? (WTH = what the heck!).

It was pretty bad in the morning. I left for school with my dormmates early Thursday morning, only to find out that Keio announced that all morning classes were cancelled that morning at the station. I was soaked when I got home. And unfortunately caught a stomach flu while I was out and about.

It all of a sudden became real sunny in the afternoon, precisely when the typhoon was hovering over the region. Weird heh?

That is weird...
Maybe the typhoon wasn't as severe in your region?
Stomach flu? oh no...hope you're all better now. Take care.
