Episode 181 - Nuri the Parrot

Typhoon Nuri visits Hong Kong today.

Typhoon Signal Number 9 is being hoisted outside and I took the above picture of the Lung Fu Shan through the window of the living room. Although it is a direct hit on our island, the typhoon does not appear to be strong and has not created great damage to the city. My flat is facing south and is not affected by the wind - it is just like a normal rainy day.

The Chinese name for Nuri is "鸚 鵡" which means parrot. Thanks to this bird, we have a relaxed holiday.

I was wrong! It is blowing severe South-Westerly winds now and water is seeping in through the window frames! It is a crazy parrot!
