T8

Now here's something I would never blog about back home.  I got a text message at 6.00 this morning:  "T8  hoisted - classes cancelled".

That means there is a typhoon that is getting a little too close to Hong Kong, making it too windy in places to travel safely. All schools are closed on a T8 day, although if it passes before 12.00 (reducing the warning to T3) then teachers need to make their way to school for the afternoon.

I've been watching out the window and have never seen it so quiet out there!  We had some heavy rain earlier and I can see that it is a bit windy, but it is quite sheltered here in the city.  But apart from a few taxis, everyone must be staying home.  Who can blame them - a bonus sleep-in day!!
