We have had really good luck with weather while on our walk. From time to time we are in a hotel that has a television and cable to boot. We always look for a Chinsee news channel that’s in English. We watch the weather portion and marvel at the fact that we always manage to avoid the really bad weather. We leave an area and 2 weeks later it’s ravaged by flash floods. We see an area that we are headed to in the coming weeks suffering foul weather and by the time we get there all is well. Our only complaint has been the heat but we have been able to avoid that by starting early in the morning and finishing by noon. I think we have also acclimated to it a bit too.
Now we are watching the news and seeing that the eastern coast of China is expecting a typhoon. It’s due to make land fall in 3-4 hours. They are expecting 200 kph winds and over 900,000 people have been evacuated. We are nowhere near this area. We are at least a thousand miles away. Still, it is interesting to be here at this time. It seems as though this typhoon is going to be epic. Weather is always big news and in the U.S.A. it often gets blown out of proportion for a variety of reasons. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Here in the Philippines we have been getting rain. We had the weather from two typhoons that were near misses combined with the monsoon rains that were sucked in by them. Today the sun is out and we will be leaving the province and heading to Manila.
Enjoy Manilla. Hope to see you August 1st.
I don’t know why they are call typhoons over there and hurricanes here, as they are the same type of storm. Stay safe! By the way, I was just wondering if you have met any non Chinese along the way? Any Black or Mexican people? Just wondering, in a nation so large.
