7/13 The Typhoon day

7/13

          When I woke up the next day, we notice the power was out! No light, no fan, no hot water, and no internet! I walked downstairs to have breakfast, all I could see are bunch of black bun, dishes and blur face. Few flash lights were lit up and fixed at a place, providing the room with a dim of light. Staffs and workers walked back and forth, here and there, communicated with each other, and with Jack. All of them looked serious. From their talk, I heard that the Soulik typhoon blow down a tree, which blocked the road and smashed the electric wire, and they were trying their best to fix it. 

           Apart from the atmosphere of tension, we, as the "only" tourists in Sitou, were so exiting and happy when Jack announced that the lectures for today were canceled ! We spent the whole morning celebrating~ We played cards, listen to music and chatted! Our scream and laughter cover the sound of the heavy rain.

 
           Again, we ate in the dark at launch time. Since there was no electricity, the chefs cook noodle and soup for us. Even though it's not a rich feast, but to be honest, it's delicious! especially at that kind of  "refugee-like" situation, you will somehow felt grateful and cherish every food. Likewise, we would also cherish every opportunity to go to the convenience store. Therefore, when Jack asked us" Hey guys, do you want to go to  the convenience store? I mean, the staffs will drive you there." we said yes without any hesitation!
         Along the way to the convenience store, I was astonished by what I saw, Broken branches and fallen leaves were everywhere, what a mess! Steven always wanna buy "流ㄌㄞˇ (milk with  四川nese accent )" and Vico always wanna buy 包丁(pudding with  Cantonese accent ), I bought some snacks and popsicle. 
        After we went back to the building, we, again, monkey around until dinner. The electricity went back around 4, and the entire floor  suddenly came a shout of cheer~ Everyone was so happy! Some immediately charged their device, others rush to the bathroom to have a worm shower. But the power didn't last long, after dinner, we started to discuss our project at the meeting room. Suddenly, the light went out again... We can only continue the discussion in the dark. Fortunately, the light went back again before long, and thus we celebrated another few hours and went to bed~ What a "dark, bright, dark and bright" day...!
