Yesterday inside a Mc Donald’s, Elly and Abby enjoyed eating McFlurry (麥旋風). Elly chose Oreo (曲奇麥旋風) and Abby Smarties McFlurry (聰明豆麥旋風). Grandma suggested them to share the two different ice-cream flavours between them.
The Smartied and Oreo in the Mcflurries had been crushed to small pieces and mixed with soft ice-cream. What clever is to create such “duets” in ice-cream!
Outside the McDonald's, strong winds were blowing. At that moment, typhoon signal number 3 had been hoisted and Typhoon “Vicente” was taking a northward course towards Hong Kong. It was expected that typhoon signal number 8 would be hoisted at around 6 o’ clock in the evening. Soon our two grand-daughters experienced strong winds and rain drops beating on their faces on their way to the nearby MTR Station. Their parents were coming to take them home.
Fortunately they could still walk with ease on their way though their hair had been flying with the winds all the time.
It was dramatic enough to find typhoon signals changing so rapidly through the night, number 8 being hoisted at 5:40 p.m., 9 at 11:20 p.m., 10 at 00:45 a.m. and 8 again at 03:35 a.m. Strong winds were blowing and heavy rain falling continuously, but it was a "fast" show.

Yummy!!! Hong Kong is so organised and such a vibrant city that children can still enjoy their ice-cream with a typhoon approaching. Sometime ago we read from a newspaper that Hong Kong has been rated the best city in the world by a certain organisation.
