The Venice of SE Asia

It was like that on Bui Vien street last Saturday night from the rain.

Speaking of rain and high tides. How are you all getting along from Typhoon Nari that is in the news here? I've survived a couple hurricanes here and know how damaging they can be like SuperStorm Sandy. How well are the areas protected from storms like these?

Thanks

Anyone here listens to Trinh Cong Son's music?!? "Phố bỗng thành dòng sông uốn quanh..." - amazing prediction from very famous song writer

"Pink Rain"... nice.!!!

I'm very close to the river myself...

Yay, "Mưa hồng" is very very nice. Uhm, but are you referring to my earlier quote? If no, you can ignore my next sentence My quote is from "Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên" "nhớ Sài Gòn mưa rồi chợt nắng"..."Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên, nhớ đường dài qua cầu lại nối, nhớ những con sông nối bao dòng kinh, nhớ ngựa thồ ngoại ô xa vắng, nối xôn xao hàng quán đêm đêm. Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên, trong lòng phố mưa đêm trói chân, dưới hiên nhìn nước dâng tràn, phố bỗng là dòng sông uốn quanh..."

Em con nho hay em da quen

I'm a huge Trinh Cong Son fan. I know the whole lyrics to Pink Rain by heart and can play some variation of the melodies on the guitar too.

Thanks for reminding. I will.

Or maybe you can edit your post to something like this...more artistic (you can fix my English translation):

My quote is from "Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên"
  "Do you remember or have you forgotten"

"nhớ Sài Gòn mưa rồi chợt nắng"...
   "and then suddenly remember Saigon sunny rain" ...

"Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên,
  "Do you remember, or you've forgotten,

nhớ đường dài qua cầu lại nối,
  remembered long way over the bridge to reconnect,

nhớ những con sông nối bao dòng kinh,
   remember how the river connected business lines,

nhớ ngựa thồ ngoại ô xa vắng,
  remember working in the empty suburbs,

nối xôn xao hàng quán đêm đêm.
  going round and round restaurants every night.

Em còn nhớ hay em đã quên,
   you remember or you've forgotten,

trong lòng phố mưa đêm trói chân,
  inside the city's heart, the night rain falls,

dưới hiên nhìn nước dâng tràn,
   under the dock at the water surged,

phố bỗng là dòng sông uốn quanh..."
   the city suddenly winding rivers ... "
