Tae Yoon: Life from 2006-2021

most of thailand is flooded and sadly---as of now---over 280 people around the country have perished because of it.

the current situation is the worst flooding the country has seen in half a century, but luckily so far, bangkok is one of the few areas that have been pretty unaffected. however, the floodwaters from the northern area of the country are supposed to hit bangkok within a day or two, and some people are starting to freak out, especially the students i tutor. yesterday, every kid i tutored mentioned the impending floods that are supposedly going to overtake bangkok, and listening to all their somewhat exaggerated versions really made me wonder if i should be worried as well. i've been keeping current with the news about all of the country's historic flooding, but it all seemed so distant so imagining that it might reach bangkok didn't cross my mind.

i really hope the flooding doesn't reach the area of bangkok i live in, but just in case it does, i've stocked up on a few days worth of water and light food, thrown away my trash, and i guess that's really all i can do. i also hope the rest of the country is able to recover from this tragic natural disaster.
