Typhoon Season

Well after being told to prepare for what could be a very nasty typhoon yesterday, all we got was some wind.  The government had canceled school for the whole city so we had no students yesterday.  It is still common for teachers to report to work unless the storm is really bad so we went into work, straightened up our classrooms for about thirty minutes, and then did basically nothing the rest of the day.  They let us go home early, but there was still no storm.  The wind picked up quite a bit last night.  We could hear it beating pretty hard again the window, but still not much rain.  Maybe half an inch instead of the ten inches they said we could possibly get.  The wind has not blown in Seoul the entire six months we have been here so seeing a lot of tree debris was different.  We saw one fallen tree but the rest was just small branches and leaves.  Eric says he was rather disappointed by his first typhoon!

 Raining at work but not windy enough to break his umbrella!

On the way home from work we saw a guy sweeping up leaves that were in the street.  I guess he didn't get the message that it was only going to stay windy for another several hours!
