Streets of umbrellas

The flight delay was actually because of typhoon warnings around Hong Kong; it is apparently typhoon season here now and lots of typhoons coming and going all the time, and with typhoons there comes wind and rain. Raining is not really that bad here, at least not from what I’ve seen, when it does rain it rains quite a lot, but not heavily and usually only for a short time, so on a rainy day it comes maybe less than 5mm (I got that from a weather report actually) in one day, compared to Sweden this summer where we had around 60mm in a day and in some places over 100mm, which is kinda sick.

And with rains comes the umbrellas, I think the outdoor crowd is halved when it’s bad weather, or even less, but it still seems more crowded, because every single person grows around to around 5 times their size when they unfold their umbrellas, so it is still just as crowded if not even worse, and with the shorter people the umbrellas are just high enough to hit me in the face.
No need to worry about the typhoon warning, even though it was a level 8 (which is like the second level after level 3), which gives most people leave of absence from work to go home and be safe, there was actually hardly even any rain, maybe the calm before the storm, that never came. This leave of absence gave us a bit more time to hang out together though, so after me and the second of Joyce’s sisters and the third of Joyce’s sister’s boyfriend had been playing snooker we met up with Joyce and her third sister at the cinema and watched the Bourne Ultimatum, a pretty cool movie.
