Typhoon Megi


Above was a picture of us at Kaohsiung's Ambassador Hotel lobby.The flowers behind was pretty nice huh?=)

Anyway,have you guys heard of those deathly rough winds that just hit Philippines recently?It left trails of destruction and more than 10000 Filipinos were miserably homeless.That typhoon called Megi (which sounded delicious coz I kept imagining a bowl of Tomyam maggi mee) was still pathetically on the hunt for more innocent victims to 'swallow' and  it was reported to be heading towards Taiwan and China.

When our flight was heading to Kaohsiung,Taiwan 2days ago,the captain had warned us that turbulence will consistently 'rock our tiny world' as we'd be flying across the Philippines' airspace.Well,after an hour of cruising time,it turned out that the old man was right.The seatbelt sign kept flashing on and off,sudden jerks kept testing our ability to balance ourselves while attending passengers in the cabin and the rocking totally kept the sleeping passengers in deeper lullabies.At times,the turbulence went wild that caused our trays and jugs 'flying' all over the place!The same terrible condition happened when we were flying bck home too.The typhoon caused our arrival time to be slightly delayed.It was pretty scary,but hey,free roller coaster rides on MH86/87=)

I just hope that the typhoon will soon leave us all alone.We've had enough trouble dealing with destructions.
