Bolaven

It would seem as if the rainy season has returned, but it's just another typhoon - Typhoon Bolaven.

Many reports were calling it the "most powerful typhoon in a decade" and lots of fears and preparations were taking place throughout the country.

Although, it all seemed to be full of hot air (pun intended).

Busan only got hit with strong winds.  The typhoon moved further west and carried up the coast missing us entirely.

I was hoping for a day off work - a day to sleep in and read about what Jon Snow was up to; sadly, none of that happened.  However, Bolaven did pose such a threat that younger students (elementary and kindergarten) were given the day off from school (8/28), which meant my longest day was spent pouring over the internet instead of teaching six back-to-back lessons.

Compared to Khanun, which hit in July with worse rain, Bolaven seemed like a walk in a turbine wind tunnel.

Unfortunately other areas of the country took a hard hit.  Hopefully the damage isn't too bad and people were able to stay safe.
