Typhoon
Well, there is a Typhoon on the way. Gosh, I guess I'm not in Kansas anymore. (when were you ever in Kansas, dude...)
Nobody seems too worried. I had another comical conversation with the landlord and I was able to gather from his body language and the one word I understood (ame = rain) that|AMP|nbsp; he seems confident the roof isn't coming off. Yukie explained that the weather pattern of the Typhoons are such that they always curve just under Niigata, where she is from. I asked her if there are a lot of typhoons in Kyoto, and she said "no...(pause)...I think."
That was encouraging.
