HELLO EVERYONE :)
today there was a typhoon!! the wind is really strong and the rain keeps pouring down... all my clothes are damp. so this morning started out with luo buo gao for breakfast. then we went to go meet with the children where we taught them some english words and two songs, mary had a little lamb and if youre happy and you know it. the children also taught us their bunan chant which is a greeting that means you are great. afterwards we had to leave the mountains because it would be dangerous if we left any later. good thing we left on time because we were later notified that there had been an avalanch. on the way down the mountain there were streams of water coming down the mountains and piles of rocks everywhere! so scary :O! afterwards, we took an one and a half drive down to a wheat factory where we listened to a lecture that wasnt so interesting and then went to a rice factory that was very empty. we werent able to leave the rice museum due to typhoon conditions so we ended up making windchimes using acrylic paint. we were then able to leave and drop off our luggages at the hotel and eat dinner at mcdonalds :D! no asian food for a day. at night we played some card games (jessica/elton are cheaters!) and we went to sleep to wake up to a wonderful breakfast provided by mcdonalds...hashbrowns, egg mcmuffin, and hot coco. we then went to tamali to visit the church we will be volunteering at and to make sure that everything was okay for the upcoming events. fortunately everything is fine there so we will be able to continue our volunteer work. then we went to go eat lunch where the cook caught four fish, beat them to death, skinned them alive, and cut them open in front of us. DELICIOUS! after i was almost done with the rice, i found a worm related bug in my rice and lost my appetite after that. on our way back home we stopped by areas to see the ocean and we saw piles of driftwood on the shore. ive never seen so much wood before!!! and according to the news the typhoon seemed to be getting pretty bad in some areas.. theres flooding and a hotel even got knocked over! apparently my family watches the same news and the news makes it seem especially scary so they kept calling to make sure we were okay and not in the region where the typhoon was getting bad. we also stopped by a mochi store and everyone picked two, i picked two peanut ones which were AMAZING!!! then we returned to our hotel and we all met in the lobby at 4 to go to starbucks
