I wouldn't worry about it too much as you won't likely lose that much. It is a good point however as most foreign teachers do not get paid for typhoon days etc.

Yes, you will likely lose hours due to typhoons, but it will allow you time to catch up on the emails you haven't sent people, assuming the power doesn't go out.

You should also make sure your scooter is at least above ground and better up some steps or you might lose that too in the flood water.

Typhoon days rock. Make sure you have enough beer.

A whole day, spent inside with your friends, drinking and snacking, watching the wind blow, absolutely forbidden to go anywhere.

There's a zen lesson in there someplace.
