Adam and I were sitting downstairs the other night listening to of one of our greatest monsoons yet when all of a sudden there was a loud crash accompanied by the sound of an indoor waterfall. We ran upstairs to find about 100 gallons of water pouring into the bedroom from a hole in our roof. Water had been building up on the flat roof and the pressures of the storm pushed through the ceiling and onto everything in the upstairs rooms. We threw everything out of the room as quickly as possible and the worst of the damage is destroyed bedding and mattress and a horrible smell on everything we own. It was all very fun and exciting since it was nighttime on a holiday and no one was around to do anything about it, so we cleaned up the water, dirt, rocks, and other rubble that fell from the roof and stayed awake all night since there is no where else in our house to sleep!
Unfortunately, the entire roof is leaky and moldy and a simple patch in the roof over the hole won't clear up the years of mold built up there, so we have four days to find someone to take over the lease and we are going to travel until Adam's uncle's house is finished! Can something be called a disaster when it culminates in vacation and a move to a brand new home with no rent?

Hola Claire and Adam, (How do you say "hi" in Vietnamese?)
Craziness! Sounds like you two had quite an adventure. :) Sorry about the "disaster," but I'm thinking the vacation/new house will all make up for it!
