Here was already bright and the day has beginning....
I was walking around the racetrack, looking at the trees, breathing the fresh air in the elementary school nearby my home this morning. What a peaceful day, you couldn't image the typhoon just passed by, except watch the News. At least five low-lying areas in central and southern Taiwan were still inundated by floods brought by torrential rains, the News said. The dam had broken or lack of it causes this miserable situation.

After the typhoon, vegetables price will go higher and higher, rice is also…but I have no complain with that, however I didn't lose anyone my treasure, no need to clean the mud full of the house, no worry about the car which was flooded…by the way, I saw a funny journalist reported the typhoon news on TV, maybe call him idiot is more appropriate. He seemed excited and asked the woman who her car was flooded in basement for two days, how is your feeling now?

The woman replied irritatingly, I have no feeling, if your Merced Benz just brought few days ago then now change into rubbish, what is your feeling, I have no feeling, I have no idea that is what my feeling.

That's the only one make me laugh about whole typhoon news.
