Japanese Eating Champion Angela Sato Visits Taiwan After Typhoon

Japanese eating champion Angela Sato is heading to Taiwan for a visit, expressing her excitement on social media. She posted on Facebook early Tuesday morning, stating, "Going to Taiwan! So excited I arrived at New Chitose Airport too early." Sato noted the airport's quietness, reminding her of news reports about Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

Sato acknowledged the disruptions caused by Typhoon Bawee, anticipating that airport staff in Taiwan would be very busy. "In 4 hours, I'll be troubling you too, airport staff, hang in there!" she wrote, referring to the typhoon's impact. She announced the start of her "Angela whirlwind" across Taiwan, humorously warning restaurant owners to prepare for her appetite.

The Central Weather Administration reported that Typhoon Bawee was gradually moving away, with winds and rain easing. The forecast indicated intermittent showers and thunderstorms in central and southern Taiwan due to the southwest monsoon. Northern and eastern areas might experience brief showers, while other regions would be partly cloudy with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms and heavier rain in some spots.
