start to piss me off (sorry for using that language)!!!

Or the one at the moment is stated as a cyclone...but has been downgraded couple minutes ago...

The one is gone and who wonders, the next one built up on the sea. Its forecasted that he will pass by tomorrow at around 100 km off the cost. So not directly hitting us, but who knows and the rain which comes along is sort of heavy... It's just water curtains pushing thru the streets, its dark and grey and grey...

Hope really that is not gonna last too long, next week i need to do my fieldtrips. We'll see!

Now one can dive on the streets Eye-wink

Oh, just as i am writing this stuff i see that the wind picks up the trees start to bend, yeah will be a nice motorbike ride home. Its so funny, the raincoats are elongated, so the passenger can put it over the head, so two people on one motorbike with one raincoat. But you don't see anything as a passenger and this in the vietnam traffic, it's kind of scarry.

Also what i don't like are the mosquitoes, the look like little tiger (striped) you don't hear them and they have such a zigzag flight making it really difficult to hit 'em.

Hmm rain is getting worth, you need to speak loud to understand each other (inside the building) and is just continuous. There is no on and off...

Concerning the three drawned vietnamese: They found one corpe so far, which means two are still out there.

And a tip for traveller with busses during rainy season: Put your backpacks into plastic bags, i heard from several people that their bags got soaked in the luggage boxes.
