Hello everyone!
Junnie is back! Well, after a terrible rain which has just stopped in Hanoi, I could use Internet once again. Do you know it had been raining here for 4 days without any second to stop? Then, my well loved city, the heart of Vietnam, Hanoi became a huge lake.
I don't have to go to school due to the heavy rain....wohoo. So during my stay at home, there are some pictures I wanna share with you about our rain. Behold, the most terrible rain in Hanoi's history
(note: You'd better have some pills by your side in order to prevent the sudden heart attack...hehe...j/k)
Show me how to swim. please! heheh But hey, don't worry. There are some ways for us to go out if you really want to. Check this out (and try to remember, too...hehe)
Someday, we will see him at the circus as a professional clown. Look! He's practicing...heheh
New kind of boat? Never thought of it xD
And I called it "excellent idea"
Woops, there are many ways for us to get out of our house
Be sure that you're rich if you want this 2 guys serve you by their whole hearts
"Hey hey, wait for me, please" "sorry, we ran out of space" xD
"I don't need anybody to help me. I can go myself. muahahaha"
Poor this 2 ladies if they don't know how to swim. Somebody helps them 
"Fine, Everybody has gone. I'll stay"
Even they were living with flood, they still smiled ^^!
Waiting for someone?
Best way to get out of here!
With some empty bottles made from plastic, you can make a mini boat for yourself xD

look at that diluvian mare
|
|
I'm surprised cars can still drive through that.
That looks so fun and annoying at the same time.
Is your house flood damaged? That would suck.
|
wow crazy rain, good thing that at least u and many people in the pictures seem to take it with humor
|
That's pretty bad lol. I love how most people are just going about their business with water up to their waist, it's like meh whatever we'll do the same stuff just be wet while we do it xD
|
yeah and do you know the first day of the rain, when i was at class, my classroom became a mini fish tank
it was so much fun hahahah
|
Doesnt look like the people take it that bad. Does this happen regularly in vietnam?

we got a winner XD

Why do ppl have an umbrella open if they are standing in the water (like up to their waist)?
|
ahahaha epic, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves ^^
|
Doesn't the underground sewage system mix with that water, contaminating it and essentially making it one giant cesspool?

Haha, some of the solutions are pretty awesome. Must be shitty if you have a ground level house or apartment though...
|
Haha, did you take those pictures? That sucks for them though
|
@ -slo.m1ke: lol . I don't know. You should ask them instead of me ;D
@ VyzhiS: hehe, it's not only annoying but also fun ^^!
@ ahole-surprise: maybe yes...xD
@ keit: yeah. and as i know, somewhere in hanoi, the water level reached nearly their second floor
@ il0seonpurpose: no. they're not mine ^^!

|
I heard that some people in VN even write poem about this. It is just crazy XD

was it the same situation in Laos not very long time ago? it was flooded everywhere as i remember water was of the highest level for decades
I believe in the last pic, the man behind is doing some kind of fishing. Tons of fishes out there ^^.
|
@ kara: hehe
@ guilford: lol. how do you know it? yeah. that's true..heheh, crazy xD
@ economist_: I remember the moment when a guy carried a huge number oF fishes across my neighborhood. Unfortunately, he fell down on the ground because the ground was sooo slippy. As we expected, the fishes rushed into the water outside and the guy...hmm....he was standing there crying. I guessed he must have lost a big amount of money. While everyone in neighborhood tried to catch his fish, i had some special feelings inside ^^! The man was standing there crying....it was an unforgettable moment for me ^^!

Looks like a huge pool party.
|
Man that's alot of water hope the water is warm in that region
|
lol it was fuking cold in there hahaha
|
Thanks for sharing, that's really quite amazing haha... How the hell are some of those vehicles still running?
|

|

that just seems really hardcore. And everyone is living their life like it's a normal thing to have water up to their waist. I'm pretty sure that if where I lived flooded like that, they would close school for 2-4 weeks.
|
That's insane. This happens to us but with snow and I think a flood would be a lot worse.
|
lol, if this was a news report or if it was anywhere else in the world, it would show everyone devastated and crying/frowning but rofl! it looks like they're having a great time. city-wide pool party!!
also some of those home made boats are pretty pimp. especially the guy with the stool-stilts.
|
yah it seemed that everyone enjoyed themselves ll you have to see the kids, they always smiled even the water level up to their waist. hehe
I think we need lots of shuttle and dropship in this case xD
|
Man, that looks so awesome, but would suck at the same time. I love swimming though.
|
Haha, that's so funny! I hope that there weren't any human casualties... I really want to go to Vietnam one day!
|
lol, looks like fun. except all your shit gets damaged :[
|
@ masami.sc: unfortunately, we had some news about 2 casualties of 2 girls

The thing is, the water is probably very dirty. You wouldn't want to be in it let alone swim around. Supposedly it's cold as well.
|
I always wanted to do that when I was a kid! I always ddddddddddreamed that my city got flooded and I get to row around in my plastic bath tub T___T it never rained that much :X
|
these people are pretty pro engineers haha
|
wow, i'm surprised u'r taking it this lightly...that looks pretty serious hahah
|
lol hey everyone, the rain has stopped and everything is gonna back to normal but somewhere in hanoi, they're still in flooded (lol) and there is no electricity, internet for the ppl living in that area xD
|
lols nice pics junnie!
