Another Typhoon!

These weeks have been going by quickly, I can't believe October will be here in a couple of days.  This week, nothing big happened.  But on Friday after my last class was over.  I showed one of my students my Chinese notebook and all of the girls in my class went crazy.  They looked at the characters I wrote, took my red pen and they corrected my work!! I thought this was really funny!  Then they wanted me to speak to them in Chinese.  All the girls were laughing so hard!!!  I didn't end up leaving class until twenty minutes after class was over.  On Friday night, Jennifer was really tired, so she went to bed and I watched a Polish movie, Katyn.  I highly recommend it.  It is about the Soviet shooting of over 10,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest.  On Saturday, Jennifer and I went shopping at Wufeng Pu, an area known for its cheap shopping.  I bought a t-shirt and a saddle bag that can be a backpack.  Saturday night was a lot of fun, I didn't go to sleep until 7am Sunday morning.  First, Jennifer and I went to the Taiwan Beer Factory, which is set up like a Beer Hall.  There we met up with our friends Andrew, Sam and Graeme.  Andrew's roommate, Dan and Graeme's roommate, Daniel were there too.  After that we were planning on going to a club, but since me and a couple other people were wearing socks, we went to a 7-11 type of store, and I bought a pair of black socks for $60NT.  After that we took a taxi to I don't even know where.  We went to a restaurant instead of the club because the cover charge was $800NT, even though it was an open bar.  At the restaurant, we had a couple beers and we were all talking, having a good time, when the people sitting next to us lost a bet with their friends and they had to come over and talk to us.  After that, we went outside and talked to some people from South Africa and they ended up being from the same city as Graeme, so they talked for a bit.  We then stopped at another convenient store and I bought myself a triangle, which is a triangle of rice covered with seaweed and had pork inside of it.  It was so good.  After that, we went to KTV, which is where people go to sing karaoke.  So we sang karaoke for awhile until about 5:45am.  At that time, we decided to go home.  I wanted to see the sun rise, but little did I know that a typhoon was coming.  We took the metro home and when we reached Yuanshan station, we decided to take a taxi home because the buses weren't running or something.  So we ended up getting home around 7am.  I then went to bed.  Sunday, I didn't do much, I watched TV because we had a category 4 (same as category 4 hurricane) typhoon going on outside.  But today I don't have work, at least I don't think I do.  The typhoon has weakened to a category 1.  The highest wind gust recorded during the typhoon in Taipei was 92mph!  But thats all I have for today.
