So being a good girl, I stayed indoors throughout the morning when the typhoon come passing by. I won't dare to go out in case some flying roof tiles hit me or some tree branch come crashing on me. You'd never know how lucky I am on this kind of things..
So I stared at the strong wind swaying and rocking the trees from my window, of which the tightly locked glass was clattering like it's gonna break off any minute. Here's the view from my window, though it's kinda hard to see if the tree's were swaying or not.
But then you can see the effects of the tremendously strong wind on the tree branches here.
See? that thick branch was broken off the tree. What if it hit me when it was torn off? Scary..
Luckily the buildings are all intact. The big bad wolf can't blow away the concrete house!
But sadly if you look closely, some other things got blown off their position.
Yup. the bicycles all look damn pityful..
Even mine fell to the side due to domino effect, under the bicycle shelter, which is at bottom left of the picture.
That's me in the reflection with GACC shirt XD I took the pictures indoors so don't mind it :pThen when it's about noon, the typhoon was said to have pass over to the tohoku area, which is in the north so it should be safe to go out. So I went over to my lab to set up my desktop (provided by the lab woot!) using Ubuntu. It took me very long cos after setting up the pc, me and my tutor found out that the DVD drive slot just won't budge.. So in the end I have to set up another one with working DVD drive. It's only pentium 4 my goodness.. oh well. Not that I'm complaining.
So after much frustration, I managed to set up half of the settings needed, and then a lab mate of mine, who's a really nice japanese girl showed me the best scene ever during sunset! we went to the roof top and saw this amazing view of Mt. Fuji!!
Isn't it cool? I din expect to see it from here, but she told me that it's only about 200km away so it can be seen when the clouds are gone, thanks to typhoon 18!And here's the Mt. Fuji with the huge ass antenna dish on the left which is always revolving.
My frustration was blown off completely thanks to this beautiful scenery. Really hope to be able to go climb Mt. Fuji someday!
And so this is the end of the report on typhoon 18!
I almost got tiup away by the wind. I still have to go campus. >.<

Japanese people are very friendly eh? Cool!
Stay safe!
