Storms

Wow, another typhoon or storm heading for Vietnam this weekend. Central Vietnam is just recovering from flooding from the last storm and there was a typhoon when I visited in October.

It seems like the storm is now away. It changed its direction. Today in Saigon it was slightly sunny in the morning, and no drop of rain in the afternoon.

Thanks God! Each year, central Vietnam has to suffer many many natural disaters. Thuong qua mien Trung!

hieuphan, I really like how you add a little Vietnamese to your posts. If you can remember could you include the marks? It's great.

The more bilingualism we can have in posts, the better.

I posted it yesterday while I was in a public internet kiosk (Does it sound right?), so I didn't have Unikey or Vietkey to type Vietnamese with marks. (I was too lazy to download them.)

Thương quá miền Trung! How miserable our Central Region is!

Thanks. I wasn't meaning to be critical. With my limited vocabulary, the dictionary is much easier to use with the marks. It's very understandable why you didn't use them.

No, I didn't thought you were meaning to be critical. I only wondered whether "public internet kiosk" made sense or not :D

I understood what you meant. I didn't comment on it because I'm not sure where you were.

If it was inside a shop, we usually refer to it as an internet cafe or internet shop.

A kiosk is usually a small free-standing structure outside or within a larger building.
