The typhoon indeed hit us today. And indeed, university was cancelled. So,
we’ve spent the day with the German students sitting around and watching
“The Last Samurai.” I’ve guzzled so many of the truffles my parents sent
me that I’ve lost count. I’m going to end up looking like a fugu (pufferfish)
if I keep eating like this!
The worst of the typhoon seems to have passed now, and as I write I can
see patches of blue sky appearing. Earlier, it was really rainy and windy,
I was getting wet just walking out of my room (the rooms open onto an
outside corridor). The rain has stopped now, and the wind had died down a
bit.
I thought the typhoon might be interesting, knocking over trees and
things, but no, all the trees and houses still appear to be standing. In
fact, the typhoon was boring, if nothing – it meant we couldn’t go out
anywhere and were stuck in the Kaikan doing nothing. I’ve spent my evening
copying music from Richard (I have lots of new music now!) and copying
Japanese recipes from Helen’s book. Hopefully, tomorrow shall be more
interesting.
