Saved by Havana's

It's been raining for most of the the weekend and still going strong today, so trying to dry any clothes in a damp climate is near impossible. I have also started to see why my apartment might not be so good to live in during the winter months as various damp patches are starting to appear through the paintwork.

I also nearly electrocuted myself this evening, when I was hanging up some washing, how I didn't put few hundred volts through my body was probably due to my rubber flip flops which earthed me.

It all happened as I was holding a steel bar which I had wedge into the side of the air conditioning support framing to act as a cross beam for holding the bamboo laundry poll. But as the steel bar touched the aluminum window frame the was a massive spark at the window edge and huge bag from the AC unit.
















I'm not sure how I didn't get an electric shock from Taiwanese dodgy wiring.

Never Ending Rain

I Can’t Sand The Rain Against My Window, I know Tina Turner catch line, but Taiwan is having a big Typhoon today which well run in to Sunday and if where unlucky Monday as will.

All it has done today is rain and rain and rain, I have to say I though England had a good track recorded but I think Taiwan has smashed it with the amount of raining which fell today!

I’ve just been watching movies, doing a bit of home DIY and thinking about doing a spot of Chinese homework but I am feeling rather lethargic at the moment.

My First Typhoon

Well it's my first Typhoon sit out and apparently Taiwan is in for a rough ride! The worst of the rain and wind hit tomorrow. When the is a really bad Typhoon coming the government issues a warning to the news channels telling people to stay inside, this also means that you don’t have to go to work.

So today we have stocked the house up with lots of food from 7 Eleven and I lucky have a back log of movies which need watching. But I've also go some Mandarin home work which needs finishing off tomorrow and I also want to have a recap on what I've learn so far!
