We made it!

Just a quick post to let you all know we survived Typhoon Soulik. It wasn't that bad in Taichung. We had about 20 hours of "extremely torrential rain" and very strong winds. The river got pretty high, but didn't flood and we never lost power. Our flight to Hong Kong was delayed twice. When we finally headed out to the airport, there were a lot of big tree branches down. Our plane finally took off 10 hours late (thankfully they announced a 8 and a half hour delay the day before, so it was only delayed, so we only had to spend an extra hour and a half in the airport (some people had been waiting in the airport all day and weren't too happy). The flight had some turbulence because of the typhoon winds, but we made it, found our hotel, and went out to explore the city for a few hours. Anyway, we are here now, so even though we lot a day's worth of sightseeing, we're going to make the most of the next two days.
