So, that's a typhoon.

April, Shauna, and I spent their first day in Hong Kong walking around in a typhoon that introduced us to a whole new understanding of rain.

STANDBY SIGNAL NO. 1 is in force

STANDBY SIGNAL NO. 1

Tropical Cyclone Bulletin

Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin issued by the
Hong Kong Observatory.

The Standby Signal, No. 1 is in force.

This means that a tropical cyclone now centred within about
800 kilometres of Hong Kong may affect us.

At 1 a.m., Typhoon Neoguri was estimated to be about 650
kilometres south-southwest of Hong Kong (near 16.9 degrees
north 111.7 degrees east) and is forecast to move
north-northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour in the
general direction of Hainan Island.

Helloooooo?

I have really fallen behind in my blogging. I'm going to post a few of the bigger goings-on very soon. In the mean time, here are a few random pictures, accompanied by the shortest of short stories:

One Saturday morning recently, I was awoken to a loud noise. As if someone was surgically removing my apartment from the rest of the building. Turns out, they were! This is a photo of two men standing on the bamboo scaffolding on the 6th floor, using a drill. I took it with my head out of my bedroom window, bright and early. The apartment extraction continues to this day.

Look at these nice people! My friend Charles shot a picture of me, Erin, and Mike after a party at the Blue House in Cheung Sha Wan, where the AiR artists are housed. We were feeling invigorated after a rousing afternoon of debating the ethics of community art. Hey, I'm wearing this same shirt right now!

Erin and I went to Macau. We saw a dog W.C. there! It was a large cylinder in a public park, filled with sand. A tree grew in the center.
