flooding BaoAn...

Our day was spoilt due to the rain yesterday night! We found out it was raining when the time we were going back. It was really hard to catch a taxi, somemore with a long que. Luckily, we managed to catch one quite soon after we walked to the main road.

After knowing where we wanted to go, the taxi driver told us that most area at BaoAn district(place we stay) flooded, some even up to 60cm high. At first, we were doubt because it's still find when the time we were out in the afternoon. Somemore, it's not flooded the other day when the typhoon hit SZ when the rain is extremely heavy and non-stopped for the whole day. So, how could it be possible since we were only out for 1/2 day? We immediately confirmed with our friend at home and it's true. All our neighbourhood has flooded. From the radio, we knew many places have serious jam due to the flood.

The taxi driver then informed us that he is not going to send us to BaoAn, instead to NanTou (a place near to BaoAn) so that we could took a bus there, because he afraid his car could not passed the flooding road. Besides, there is serious jam, he don't wish to be caught in the jam.

We get off at a bus station at NanTou. It's still raining and the roadside is flooding. Besides, there is such a crowd waiting for buses. We had used our great effort to get on a bus which will passed-by our neighbourhood. However, we didn't know that the bus actually changed its route due to the flood and the busman didn't even bother to inform the passengers. When we realised, the bus almost reached the destined bus terminal. Hubby got a little frustrated because we are not sure of our location and it's dangerous to be at a strange place especially at night. We quickly get off the bus at a busy street and catched a taxi.

Finally, reached home. The flood has gone, the traffic back to normal and we could set our heart at rest. Both of us laughed. Me and hubby would never been to the place if it wasn't because of the flood. But, i wonder how could the busman be so irresponsible since we actually asked whether the bus passed-by our neighbourhood when we get on. What a "extraordinary" experience we had!
