Well it’s Thursday afternoon here in Hong Kong, and there is a big, bad-ass typhoon headed right at us.

If it keeps on like this, then we all go hang out in bars, wait 'till the “everything must shut down” signal is raised, have a lock in, get drunk , take your clothes off and go out in 120 MPH wind and rain yelling “is that all you’ve got?”

I can’t wait.

It also means we get a day off work tomorrow if we’re lucky 😃 If not then I’m going in with one hell of a hangover and probably pneumonia ☹

Just thought that I’d share that wth you folks.

Surf’s up, bra! I probably know a few surfers and wind surfers on the plane as we speak. Those guys are nuts!

Tell me about it - I work for a windsurfing company. There’s always a couple of idiots getting rescued by the Coast Guard when the typhoons come.
