So....that's a typhoon, more commonly known in our parts as a hurricane. Looks fun. Here's the latest update. I'll keep you posted. Unless I'm stuck at the office tomorrow. They provide housing and everything because the employees safety is priority number 1 and nobody is to travel home if it is unsafe. They must travel there though. It's business and usual here in the Manila.
**I would like to note, that Manila (the place we're currently in) cannot be read on the map because it's under the blue line directly in the eye of the storm. Yippy.
