The Typhoon in Shanghai

Not getting so lucky with the weather during these business trips. It was a proper typhoon in Shanghai this week, meaning violently gusting winds, sheets of rain coming at you sideways, steel grey skies. How the plane from Hong Kong to Shanghai actually landed in this weather was beyond me and I'll attribute our on-time arrival as much to control tower negligence (why did we try to land?!?) to pilot skill. The taxi ride into Shanghai was, well, scary. Nothing like an unexpected 1.5 hour taxi ride through a typhoon at the tail end of a 18 hour journey. If only I was traveling to Rangoon I could have at least preserved the lyrical quality of recent weather-related posts, but even that didn't work out. But as they say, Burma can wait.
