Goodbye Nelson and Welcome Nida!

20:00, 1/8/2016

Well it has been a while since my last post and a lot has changes. Just return from a trip to Nelson, New Zealand with the family. A much needed break and also to send my son off to new school and a new beginning. All the best Nick!

On returning, Nida was there to welcome me! How nice! First day back to work and there a typhoon and a big one as well. Typhoon signal number 8 was hoisted from 8:45, 1/8/2016 and guess what, the announcement came like this:

"The typhoon signal will be hoisted between 8:00pm to 10:00am"

Uh?! When to starting hoisting I could understand, but when to lower the signal? Does it mean they will lower it come what make? We will see!

06:40, 2/8/2016

Ok, it landed at 4:00am this morning, but to be honest, I think Nida just getting started, even if the met. office say she is breaking up. I just have to look outside and tells you she still got plenty of it. In fact I think the wind/rain was even stronger now (08:00am) than when I first wake up at 6:40am!

All hell broke lose at the airport as well. Nothing is leaving or entering Hong Kong! So thank God we landed yesterday morning and not later. In fact I think we race pass Nida on our way!

So we are off in the morning and let see it goes the same with the afternoon. We will be so lucky!
