Yesterday I arrived in Hanoi, after a fantastic week in Hoi An where I met some great local people who made my stay very enjoyable. You may have seen in the news that Viet Nam experienced similar floods than Bangkok over the last days, and many people have died. I was in Hoi An when the old town got flooded after the water in the river rose 3m in just one day. My hotel was flooded too but I got away very lucky. It really amazed me how relaxed the locals dealt with the situation, organising boat tours around the flooded town, some even telling me I would be very lucky to witness the flood, it happens ‘only’ 2-3 times per year apparently.
