Fishing on Hanoi streets
18:49' 01/11/2008 (GMT+7)

VietNamNet Bridge- In October 30th and 31st, Hanoi suffered the heaviest rain in 35 years. Streets turned into rivers. Power shut down in several districts. Schools and market were closed. The heavy rain is going on until Saturday November 1st... The following scenes are hard to believe, but they happened.

Fishing on a parking lot. This fishing net looks brand new.

This fishing tool is also brand new. A couple of fishes can make break even for the investment.
It looks like a lake, but with a street name plate and a car, it is still recognized as a street.

Fishing next to a Mercedes-Benz. The owner of this car later may find a fish in the car as a compensation for the damage.

Professional fishing.
Children play in shallow water.
Is there a racing between a bus and a boat?

Should the boat is allowed to enter an one way street?
All go to one side, as the other side turns into a river.
 
Tragedy happend. Two men found dead in this car. Probably they were suffocated while sleeping.

People found the tragedy and report to the police.
Biking is the safest mean of transportation.
 Despite of the flood, going to market is still needed.

Some childen did not know that school has been closed.
Even the university is closed while students get locked in the dorm.
Fishing on the treet of Vinh Yen city, 35km away from Hanoi. 

For many, nothing can do but waiting.
This teacher has nothing to do in school. 
Buying a lot of instant noodles, getting ready for days.

 A man is struggling with his motobike.
A duck is comfortably enjoying the living room 

The duck even tries the luxury leather couch.
