Shanghai typhoon

Just got back home safely from Shanghai today. Slightly still in shock though. If you guys heard about the typhoon in Eastern China, that about sums it all up. We hurried to the Pudong International airport only to be informed that all flights back home had been cancelled due to the typhoon warning - Shanghai was on high alert. Airport was in a mess. We had to check into a seedy motel nearby to wait out the night. Lucky for us, early next dawn, we rushed back out into the airport and fortunately managed to get ourselves onto the first flight out of the country and back home. Flights were expectedly delayed but the main thing is: I'm home safe and sound, in one piece. Otherwise, my Shanghai trip was all good, and all fun. Waited more than an hour for airport transfers both ways (which I'm definitely going to complain on tomorrow)...that's probably about it. Hmm, thinking back, for a moment there, I was worried that I'd be stuck in Shanghai for the rest of the week. Or worse, that I might not live through the typhoon. Anyway, god bless, and I'm going to rest for the night now.

Thanks guys for the thoughts and sms-es throughout.
