EXPERIENCE GOING TO THE MARKET DURING THE FLOOD SEASON

avatar

Hi Hiver Market Friday community, this is my first time posting in this community and also my first experience going to the market during the flood.
The An Cuu Market in Hue is located on the banks of the An Cuu River. This is a market with many diverse and rich products. In addition, in this market, there are many delicious food courts with not too expensive prices.

On Friday, Hue was hit by a torrential downpour that flooded areas in a very short time (within just 4 hours). Although it is still raining today, the flood water has receded a bit. My roommate and I also went to the market to buy some things, but the floodwater was too deep, so we had to leave empty-handed.

And the next day, we try to go to An Cuu market to buy some cooked food for today. Our students' menu is quite simple, consisting of vegetables, mushrooms, beans, eggs, and meat. We will split into two meals for both lunch and dinner.

Despite the stormy weather, the stalls were still full of fresh vegetables.

Behind the market is the house of people living here, Because it's in a low-lying area, it's flooded :(

This is in front of An Cuu market, the river has flooded and spread to the surrounding houses. Some areas have been blocked off, all people have been sent down by state relief forces such as soldiers and police to move people to a safe area.

It wasn't long before the sun was shining, the sky darkened again, and the heavy rain continued to come.

We also finished buying the things we needed to buy and were about to return to the dormitory.

This is An Cuu bridge, tonight a storm will continue to drag into central Vietnam, potentially flooding all nearby areas and areas near rivers, sea, and low-lying areas.

The photo was taken by me at 10 am

On the other side are people who are returning home to check the flood situation.

We returned from the market with many sorrows and confidants. It is heartbreaking because every year, the people of the Central region suffer from big and small storms, they suffer a lot of damage that no one can fully understand. But it's also very warm for the solidarity of the Vietnamese people when the Central region is in trouble. The governments, Soldiers, officers, police, and other compassionate people always help the people wholeheartedly, making silent sacrifices day and night to fight the storm with the people of the Central region. I really express my deep gratitude to them and I am very proud of the Vietnamese people!


Hope everyone is safe through the storm☘️

It's kinda sad to see flooding. In my home country too, if the rain is nonstop, expect there will be flood.
I don't like floods, it's terrible and it's an inconvenience.
I hope you're all safe.

Glad you were still able to buy food despite the rain and the flood.
Keep safe always!

Yes, I only like the light rain in early spring, not the heavy rain. Thanks for your nice wishes!😊

Agree on that! I also don't like heavy rain. 😅 And I also don't like going out when it's raining. Watching the rain is fine but being soaked, it's a no no.

I have had one flood when I lived in a warm region with lots of rain. I had water for 8 days and three little kids. It is a devastating situation and I can say that Red Cross cam every day by boat to hand out food and suppies (twice a day to be exact) We receive a lot of local help and love and I am happy to see that you did to.

Still, it is devastating when it happens and nothing stops it from coming. Bless the people. truly

Welcome to #MarketFriday!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through by their markets, especially local markets and farmers markets and eventually branching out and evolving over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
