Typhooning

After eating a very unappetizing meal at the canteen last night, the buslady (is that a word?) came by to pick up my tray. She mumbled something to herself in Cantonese, which I later found out was "Why have you been eating so long that your plate has turned cold?" What the heck, woman?!?

Also, I was witness to a 'happy corner'. You should YouTube it: Crazy Asian Hong Kong Happy Corners HKUST. Evidently, this birthday ritual is popular among Asian male students. Wikipedia's definition: A male student is lifted up by several of his classmates and his groin is then rubbed against a hard object such as a pole, a tree, or even the edge of a door. Asian people are so weird.

So I know the title of my entry is not a word, but I like it. The typhoon signal was upgraded from a level one to a level three today, whatever that means. It was raining so hard this morning that I decided to skip class and sleep in until noon. The weather is annoying here. One day it's hot and humid, the next day it's cool and breezy, and the next day there is a torrential downpour. Hopefully, I'll escape the rain in Guilin and Yangshuo this weekend. *crossing fingers*
