Well, I the flood didn't reach me during this "break" it's mostly because I live in the highest part of Bangkok, the Praditmanutum road. But the soccer field and the road in from of my village does flood, however... And even worse, there are 3 crocodiles swimming in front of the road in front of my village, but good thing that the soldiers already got them all back to they came from. I shield my house with some modeling clay, sand bags, thick plastic and some rag tape.
I actually first moved to Pattaya since we thought it was going to flood, but that never happen. After about 2 weeks or so, we found out that loads of people from Bangkok are moving to Pattaya since most of them have condo there, but that meant that it'll be overcrowded soon (also meant that we'll run out of supplies there), so we move back to Bangkok for 2 or 3 days. Then exactly after that, we moved to Nakorn Najok, which is a pretty nice place since it's rather more quiet and also not overcrowded nor shortage of supplies. I also learn many things there, which are shooting guns, canoeing, driving a car, playing guitar and using chopsticks (pretty funny that I don't know how to use them until now, right?).
Well Mark, you are the first student who seems to be semi-close to a crocodile! The news has made a big deal out of the crocs, but until now I haven't personally known anyone affected. Did you actually see them swimming around?
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear that your home has remained dry. Is it easy to get in and out of the village with the flood waters? Thanks for posting.
Well, just right at the first day of school (Nov 21) I saw a frog swimming in the flooded area but then it got gobble whole by one of the crocs, and good thing the soldiers already got them back to where they came from!
