Bangkok refugees

Our street was soooo quiet at the beginning of the week. Every house now is occupied by at least 10 people (apart from ours 2 people 4 cats). The man across from us (from Bangkok) speaks some English, he said his house is under 2 meters of water, all his belongings are gone. All he has is his family and a few pieces of clothing, two pair of shorts and three t-shirts. HE IS STILL SMILING. The whole street is in party mood. Its like Songkran without the water. Did I say water we are in the middle of the most terrifying thunder storm. Have I mentioned I really hate thunder storms. Joking aside, everybody from Bangkok are taking it in their stride. No problems tomorrow's another day. They will just go back when the water subsides and buy everything over again. Job done.
