Last night in Hong Kong we had plans for a great get-together with 5 Hong Kong collectors, but Typhoon Linfa had other plans for us:
I've never been through a cyclone, but we were told that businesses closed and even the subway stopped running. So when the warning escalated to an 8, on a scale of 1 to 8, the group had to cancel.
But one intrepid member decided to brave the elements and drive, notwithstanding the weather, to our hotel after dinner. And it was for a very good cause:
That guy was Kelvin Leung, who occasionally posts here and also moderates a Chinese language forum. Kelvin couldn't find a CF3 in Hong Kong --they are sold out here-- but was fortunate to locate one on a business trip to Las Vegas.
Here's a photo of me with the cyclone-fearless Kelvin:
It was a memorable meeting. Tonight the rest of the group hopes to meet and I think you'll like the reports.
