Today is the day (Thursday, October 31) that typhoon Kong-rey will make landfall on the island of Taiwan. We\u2019ve read that everything except the 7-Eleven\u2019s will be closed today. \u00a0This morning the skies are gray and it looks breezy from what little we can see from the window of our room. We\u2019re staying in the Blue Sky Hotel though the name doesn\u2019t match the day.<\/p>\n

We wandered around the city of Taichung yesterday – it seems like there is quite a lot to do here so we\u2019ll explore more after the storm. Taichung is the third largest city in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve 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\u2019re in a sturdy structure so we\u2019re not too worried!<\/p>\n

We did make a quick trip to the 7-Eleven where people were watching the final game of World Series on the big screen.<\/p>\n
