July 19 Taiwan Typhoon- K&KC safe from disaster

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-07/18/content_8569249.htm

We are not anywhere near Taiwan the last few days, as we are in Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou- all cities east of SHANGHAI (which is quite a ways north of Taipei, Taiwan).

Xiamen, China where we were last on July 14 is across from Taiwan. That might present some concerns and could present a problem for us had we stayed in XMN a few days longer.

We've been fortunate to have online access with a loaned laptop from a Singapore friend, JC (slow, but it works- all that matters for now). KC's Dell stopped working one morning.
