I'll be sure to pack a donkey in my laptop bag the next time I see typhoons on the radar.
Someone with a good boat to transport people a few miles on the river sections where the road was washed out could have made the whole situation better as well.
Fresh out of rescue boats too.
Most people walking in those photos were in pretty good spirits or silent and just concentrating on getting to point B.
There were more than a few small men carrying
large medical oxygen bottles, scores of bags of rice, junk foods, people herding goats through the mess and people assisting elderly.
By that time I was wet, sunburned, fatigued, irritatted at the entire effing mess and was in less than good spirits. That seems to be when people ask me dumb questions ( or icebreakers ) and I have to politely say "I've got mud from my feet to my rear...all my gear is muddy,have not shaved-showered-or changed clothes in 3 days and not consumed an adult beverage in two. Meet me in Naguilian and we'll laugh about all this over a 4 x 4."
A 4 x 4 here is a bottle of gin 4cm by 4cm, 750ml
