00:33I'm supposed to return on Saturday but I'm really worried that the Shinkansen train service will be suspended because of the typhoon.
00:39It's so annoying.
00:43This typhoon is scary.
00:45In terms of disaster we are getting a large amount of rain so I don't know what will happen going forward.
00:50I really hope everyone will stay safe.
