flood flood flood

As most already know, a giant, dirty flood has thoroughly hydrated most of Thailand.  It was reported in the news and on twitter that this mess was going to leave all but the glittery city of Bangkok in watery ruins.  Artists who were interviewed regarding the disaster mostly held the view that if a flood were to hit Bangkok, they would only have a 50% chance of survival (no joke).  Of course, what was reported turned out to be completely wrong and the putrefied waters have been inching toward the inner city, for all of three weeks now.

The events of the past few weeks have left residents of Bangkok in a frenzy of food, water, and toilet paper hoarding.

I succumbed to this frenzy and purchased a stock of non-perishable items, emergency snacks and water in preparation for what seems to be the end of the world according to twitter.

However, since buying these emergency supplies, I have not been able to resist eating the delicious rice crackers and three minute instaboil noodles that are supposed to keep me alive should the flood wreck my ability to walk two minutes to buy a bag of food.  Oops.

This evidence of my gluttony was captured weeks ago, and the situation remains the same.
