In the news we read about the dreadful situation on the Philippines after the monster super typhoon Haiyan. In Vietnam people has worried a lot especially in the middle part of the country, Da Nang and Hue area, but as the typhoon all of a sudden changed its path towards north it now passes above the Golf of Tonkin until it reaches the area of Hanoi and further up north into China. But in Hanoi noone seems to care, the streets are full of all sorts of products and trade is conducted as any other day. The only ones concerned we met so far, was two tourists that wanted to fly to HCMC today. A rather stupid approach as they then will travel somewhat towards the storm not escape from it.
According to weather reports will the typhoon loose it strength from super typhoon down to a tropical storm, http://typhoonstormwatch2012.blogspot.com/ , and I guess tropical storms are of no big concern in the capitol. Still we will face some heavy rainfall, more than 160 mm is predicted for tomorrow, and Nisse and I plan to experiance also this. But first we will salubrate our journey by some cultural dance performance in a theatre. Did I mention "business as usual"?
