Chaos

Tue Aug 11, 2009, 4:51 PM
A short journal entry today:

Taiwan was recently hit by a typhoon which left a lot of carnage and chaos around the island. Our home and family is fine, a little damage but nothing serious.

However in many areas they received more than 100" (~3+ meters) of rainfall in only 1-2 days. Many areas have been completely flooded with water.

The worst news I've heard so far though is a small village of around 600 people was completely covered by a land slide, most likely everyone is dead.

Here in Kaohsiung city business is back to normal, but I still feel down knowing so much chaos and loss has occurred no further than 20-30km away.

I'm not a religious man, but if you're reading this please take a moment to think or a prayer for those in need at this time.

Hi there
I left Korea since a while, just came back to France after 3 month in Taiwan and will go again to Beijing in few month for at least one year
You're quite lucky for having settled in Taiwan

Cheers

I hope you get to go! I was a Predators fan but Vernon Fiddler left so I don't really have a reason to follow them anymore! It's a lame reason, but oh well ): I wonder if they would have any cool things going on for Christmas during the game if that was when you saw it. That would be really neat to get pictures of!

Note to self: Have finished uploading majority of 'new' work since moving to Taiwan, when have more time do a search through rest of computer files for anything missing that could be worthy of uploading.

School's great. I'm busy busy busy with class, volunteering, Josh, etc. And I've got a new site up that I'm trying to maintain on freewebs. Hence the lack of updates around here. :)
