If yesterday was a taste of Monsoon season, today was a five course meal. After spending the morning at the VU, we heard an announcement that the women would leave early because of the approaching typhoon. Typhoon?! My understanding of typhoons begins and ends with Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park. But, don't let the name startle you, it simply means a LOT of rain and street flooding, similar to a Category One Hurricane.
Typhoon Tips:
1. If you find yourself driving in four feet of water in our land rover, keep going. We learned from experience that you will not stall if you continue to drive.
2. Look out for bamboo poles or table tops sticking out of the water marking man holes. When the waters rise, people open sewage drains sporadically throughout the road and sidewalk and no one wants to inadvertently fall into one of those holes.
3. Seeing three water buffalo walking through the road and median is completely normal.
4. Bring a poncho. The back seat of a taxi may become a splash zone.
