Flooding In Vietnam

As I mentioned in my last blog, there is a lot of rain in Vietnam. Well it hasn't stopped raining and we are suffering from flooding all over Vietnam. Over 60 deaths as of today, winter crops totally destroyed, dikes breaking. The worst is yet to come. Already cost of food has doubled especially in Hanoi. I am including two sites for you to look for more information on the flooding and pictures.

Many of the schools are still closed. The Universities are open but the students have to wade to their classrooms. People are fishing in the streets of Hanoi. The backyard ponds have flooded and the fish have escaped to the streets. The owners are trying to reclaim them before they swim away.
