In Vientiane , the water level increased to 13.26m yesterday morning, above the danger level of 12.5m, which has caused some kind of mess in the city. Roads have been cut off and sandbags walls have been built all along the Mekong riverside.
Even though the situation is pretty worrying, it seems to more trigger people’s curiosity than people’s anguish. Well, we're in lao, there's no such thing as "being anxious" anyway haha. Well I’ve been myself a bit curious and walked along the city centre riverside yesterday night, to check it out by myself: this is actually pretty impressive, the Mekong grown drastically and many of the bamboo-made restaurant’s terraces are flooded. For most of them, we can now only see the rooftop still standing in the water.
Cant be arsed writing in French, here's an article from "Le Monde"
