one week ago the strongest storm in 35
years hit the city of Hong Kong hundreds
of offices shattered thousands of trees
destroyed and millions of lives
disrupted the entire city came to a
standstill and this is where it gets
amazing within two days only two days
thousands of people volunteered to clean
up the typhoon mess minorities
immigrants and locals all chipped in to
help firemen worked for 36 hours
non-stop and most of the city was back
in order
festivals highways people it's hard to
believe a typhoon hit the city a week
before in other developed countries
recovery could take years we all need to
learn from Hong Kong because what was
supposed to destroy this city
only made it stronger
