Big Typhoon







These are pictures of what we saw looking out from our dorm room during the typhoon that went through Haiphong. There was so much water, it was incredible. Thunders, lightning, howling winds,... and sheets of water just came pouring down for hours. The whole thing lasted 3 days. The nice thing was that the air was nice and cool, for the first time since we got here. The bad thing was we couldn't get out to buy food, had to roll up our pants and wade in the flood water to get to the classroom, the laundry that we hung outside didn't get dry because it was so humid, and the smell from the stuff that floated out of the sewer. Most students still showed up to class though! It was amazing.
