11. Experience a level 8 typhoon

Back in September, we experienced our first T8. We woke up in the morning and the weather outside really wasn't bad at all, a little breezy and cloudy. To our surprise, school was cancelled as it was already T3 and the possibility of T8 was on the horizon. We spent a great day inside at home chilling out, while the weather outside remained fairly pleasant. During a T8 warning, all shops are closed and no buses run so basically the city shuts down. Everything was fine until about 5 pm. Looking to the south, I could see this massive intimidating white wall of rain making its way toward us. The wind started to pick up and you could feel the anger build. By the time it hit us, the amount of rain was atrocious and the high winds were rattling our glass patio doors. It only lasted about an hour, but we definitely understand why school was cancelled! 60 complete...40 left to go
