Heavy rain. The cleaning day of the neighborhood association cancelled.

  Since last night, it had been raining heavily. So, the cleaning day that the neighborhood association had planned was cancelled. But, as  the rain stopped before noon, I took a walk toward the Tomakomai river.
  Everyday, the media is reporting about the great flood in Thailand. Not only the capital,Bangkok, but many industrial parks where more than 400 factories of Japanese companies have been under water. People were fighting desperately, some are evacuating by boats, others are piling up sandbags to prevent their houses and shops from being flooded by water. It is unknown when the flooding will end.
