It's a beautiful morning! The typhoon landed just east of us and now has weakened into a tropical storm continue to cut north by north east to mainland China. Everyone is out getting into the water for a swim, a quick run and a quick cycle. Basically, the place has come alive with activities. Now, it is more like a hopping place. The weather after a typhoon is generally hot and humid. It will not going to be a fun day out there for the race participants.
For those who is doing the 70.3 Ironman, that is 70.3 KM. They have 8 hours to finish. The finishing line, is NOT at the Sheraton. That was a bit weird. The route take it all over. We'll see if someone will get lost or if traffic is blocked for the participants. Yesterday, there was a huge accident not far from the hotel; 3 died at the scene; apparently, a motor ricshaw type vehicle collided with a lorry. Guess who won? The 3 died were just lied on the road.
Traffic driving in Haikou is dangerous at time. Vehicles routinely running red lights, stopping, backing up with no warning or forethought. And if convenient to the driver, he/she will drive to the opposite lane direction in order to "conveniences" himself or herself.
