I have been meaning to write an entry about how the linguistics of Chinese provide some illumination into the culture for me, but my week got interrupted by a typhoon. Yesterday i heard it was coming in, though i didn't really think much about it because it wasn't a big one. It's hard to get caught up in the worry when you never watch television

I have been watching that Typhoon edging its way into all the Facebook feeds of everyone I know in Hong Kong. I sort of wish I was there.

It turned out that something like 12 people died, though i think they were all in Macao/Zhuhai and over that side of the delta. Disaster is nothing to really celebrate, but i get sort of wishing to be there. There is an odd appeal to being part of a community that bands together and stares down the fury of nature.

that sounds both scary and exciting. (crazy weather like that excites me.) i'm glad you didn't wash away! also, your posts always make me hungry even tho i don't recognize at least half the food you mention.

Haha! Maybe i should start taking foodblogger-esque photos. I generally feel like a bit of a wanker taking photos of food, but seeing as most of what i eat is takeout i could get away with it.
