It's raining men

But more importantly, water. I titled this post, "it's raining men" because I can hear it blasting from the karaoke bar slash club across the street. I have heard this song way too many times since I have been here. Hallelujah. Anyways, the title is sort of relevant since I wanted to post some pictures of the crazy water in Chau Doc, the city we were just in. I am pretty sure there was a typhoon in central Vietnam and southern Vietnam must have gotten some of it too, because it actually rained for a whole day straight. It was crazy. Don't quote me on the whole typhoon thing though. Maybe it was just a big rainstorm. I did just get a nice email from the US Embassy warning me about Tropical Storm Nesat and Typhoon Nalgae. Get out your ponchos. Anyways, here are some photos from Chau Doc.
just casually cooking in a couple inches of water.
motorbikes slowly making their way through flooded streets.
ankle deep water... it got up to mid calf
water= nuoc with some added accents and tones that I don't know how to type on my computer.
this is outside our fancy shmancy hotel. How fancy you ask: Our bathroom was equipped with a tub, which was a big deal since our previous accommodations didn't even have a shower stall.
I really like this picture

Now we are back in HCMC for three weeks. I will do a legit blog post tomorrow. I am getting lazy with just posting pictures and no text. Just a little fyi for anyone trying to contact me via facebook: it isn't working in Vietnam right now, so email is the way to go. Who needs that handy dandy website "self control" when you have the government doing it for you??? @hannahwright
