Flood survivor



No school today


A quick post about Hanoi floods: our house survived though we were stuck in the neighbourhood for two days. We went to the supermarket as we were out of food on saturday afternoon... we had water up to the half of the high (and we avoided several deeper area).

Though it was quite an athmospher in the street at that time, people finishingin the lake, walking around to see how is it outside or just drying their motorbike by all means (dish towel, hairdryer, mini "flame thrower"... this one is to dry and clean spark plugs), it was not the case for everyone. I saw pictures of underground car park with car covered of mud and probably totally broken. Moreover i heard that around 20 people died in Hanoi only.

I guess it was safer to stay all the week end home.

The famous submarine mode (with the optionnal ultimate umbrella)


i'll post some more (stolen) photos later.
