Typhoon Matmo passed through Taipei yesterday. From around 11 p.m. to about 3 a.m., the wind was rattling the windows and doors so loudly that I couldn't fall asleep. By 10 a.m. the next morning though, it had stopped raining and the winds were mostly gone. Our classes were cancelled for the entire day, so I just stayed indoors and caught up on some housework and studying.
In light of all the recent plane crashes, I have to admit I'm a little nervous about flying home. I think most people are, even though we know that logically plane crashes are extremely rare. It's strange, looking outside the window right now, it's so sunny and clear that it's hard to believe the weather was so bad yesterday that it (most likely) caused Taiwan's first plane crash since 2002. I flew TransAsia just a couple months ago to Thailand.
We're about winding down to the last stretch of the semester, then most people are heading back to their respective countries. I don't have much to write at the moment, so I'll upload some pictures instead.
