Remembering Dave Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I heard, just briefly, on the radio this morning while driving to work that a big typhoon hit Hong Kong and that the city had come to a standstill. Are you and your family OK? Just checking on you, my dear friend. God Bless, Karen C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bean_si (Not Active) Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 While waiting, don't forget the 12 hr time difference from EDT Or is it 16? No, I think 16 is Australia. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remembering Dave Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 Cat - I think it's 14 hours. We spent two weeks in China two years ago getting Faith and I think that's right. It was hard to get the time correct to call our family back home so we'd go to the hotel's business center and send them blow by blow emails.

Remembering Dave Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 oops, the term "blow by blow" was definitely a pun not intended, considering we are talking about a typhoon here. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remembering Dave Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 OK, now I think I'm crazy because I just got on foxnews.com and cnn.com and see no mention of a typhoon. so maybe it's my ears affected by Dave's chemo, not Dave's ears . . .

berisa Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hi my dear dear friends, I feel so cherished by all of you. I am fine, my family is fine. Thanks for your concern and worries. Karen, you are right, there was a typhoon here but it was over. One interesting thing I really wish to let you know that, all typhoons in Hong Kong are nothing, no matter how strong the typhoon is, while the typhoon comes to Hong Kong, it is not strong just because of the geographical advantage of Hong Kong. Many said Hong Kong is a blessed place because Hong Kong has many high buildings in just a small piece of area (you never find it on the map, only a dot) as well as the Hong Kong unique geographical location - "like a shelter" that all typhoons cannot affect HK traumatically. Just few trees are dropped down only. All is normal. I think all tall buildings diminish the wind, you know, many youngsters will go out for movies and Karaoke. We see typhoon as an excuse to play. But while the same typhoon goes to our neigbour city, there must be a lot of damage, someone will die, rain water increases that cause damages. Electricity may goes out etc. Hey, I guess you guys should come to Hong Kong to visit me. I have a guest room. I will show you around.......... Be my guest.

Remembering Dave Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Berisa, glad to hear you're OK and the typhoon is an excuse to play! I must tell you that I have every intention of returning to China one day and we will definitely visit you in Hong Kong! God Bless you my friend, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
