台风来了 (Typhoon Coming)
Typhoon coming tomorrow. Possible surf Saturday. I might take a train to the east coast on Saturday. Here’s the 36-hour wave prediction. 10 foot waves hitting the coast tomorrow, Saturday they should clean up won’t be as big. Don’t worry Mom, I’ll be safe. 别担心妈妈，我很安全.
Training is going well. Hope tomorrow’s isn’t cancelled. Thursday is the first day of class. I met some students today and ate lunch at the school, met the staff. Should be enjoyable.
I spoke wrong, 30ft waves! (1m=3ft)

Take care Ben. Please don’t ride your motorbike when the hurricane hits the island. By the way, I dropped you a long e-mail.
