Today is the day (Thursday, October 31) that typhoon Kong-rey will make landfall on the island of Taiwan. We’ve read that everything except the 7-Eleven’s will be closed today. This morning the skies are gray and it looks breezy from what little we can see from the window of our room. We’re staying in the Blue Sky Hotel though the name doesn’t match the day.
We wandered around the city of Taichung yesterday – it seems like there is quite a lot to do here so we’ll explore more after the storm. Taichung is the third largest city in Taiwan.
We’ve been encouraged to stay inside as the storm passes through. We have plenty of food and water. We loaded up on noodle cups, fruit, yogurt, cake, and a beer to share. No one here seems too concerned and we feel like we’re in a sturdy structure so we’re not too worried!
We did make a quick trip to the 7-Eleven where people were watching the final game of World Series on the big screen.
Cheers!
