This is the first typhoon I've witnessed since I got here. Right now it's a Number 3 Warning Signal but it's supposed to get to Number 8 by 11 tonight. Hopefully what that means is that there won't be class tomorrow. Though I would be kind of sad because I haven't had a single Tuesday class yet since I got here. The only class I'm actually looking forward to is tomorrow, Creative Chinese Painting. At the same time though, I'm kind of lazy and I just want to sleep in all day tomorrow. But anyways back to the sushi. At 7, I had the most random craving for sushi and I definitely did not want canteen food again. So I made my way over to Lok Fu plaza to buy sushi. I also bought these cold chicken wings and some grapes. Ironically, the grapes were more expensive than the other two combined. By the time I left though, the wind had picked up. It was pouring pretty hard and the gusts of wind were erratic and heavy. Walking back, I was just praying I wouldn't get hit by lightening because I really wanted the sushi. Not sure if the sushi was worth walking into a typhoon for though. Right now the wind is howling like crazy and I hear a lot of people screaming outside.... and I'm bundled up nice and cozy in my bed.
