Things I will never understand #3

Maybe I should start an entirely new category, Video Poker. But anyway, this afternoon, I took a walk after the wind and rain died down. Sitting inside with no windows you didn't get a great idea of what was really going on, but all the debris, sandbags, and props gave me a better idea of how seriously people take typhoons here. Everything was closed, even Dinghao the 24hr a day grocery store. The only things that were consistently open were convenience stores like 7-11 and VIDEO POKER. Even during a typhoon people are in there playing video poker and pachinko.

typhoons are very dangerous. the wind and rain and flooding aside, debris and trees falling from the wind pressure are very lethal. be careful~
