Exciting Living in Laos

You may have read in the news (again you may not since Laos doesn't get in the news that often) that Vientiane is flooding due to the heavy raining season. Luckily, we live in the highest part of town. It is no wonder the US Ambassador's residence is a stone throw away! It is business as usual for us.

That said, we are closely monitoring the situation. Some roads near our house were flooded, but it will take more than that to break the Samurai spirit of the Teso's!

Actually, the water level has gone down as at today and the worse, I hope, is behind us. Yumi and I even got to play tennis the last two nights! Flood or no flood, we will do so again this weekend.

We will take some pictures this weekend to share with you.

We considered renting a house with a Mekong river riew. Yumi said that we used to have the Victoria Harbour view in Hong Kong so we can go without the Mekong view in Laos. Smart move by Yumi!

The Mekong water level is as high as its river bank.

This road is near our house, but should be no trouble for our SUV to get through.
