Later alligator

Middle watery Thailand

One's fortune is another's disaster. October has been a good month for the Siamese Crocodiles of the farms of Ayutthaya. The rains that have brought flooding and super high Chao Phraya river levels in Bangkok have allowed 30 of our freshwater friends to slide to murky freedom.

So far 6 have turned up. (And been killed.)

Meanwhile the flooding continues to inundate buildings near rivers. Including peoples houses. Mothers are worried there may be a crocodile invasion; there may be trouble ahead.

This snappy topic has allowed me to clear up an issue with a waitress and friend called Mua. Now when I say 'see you later alligator', and she says 'after a while crocodile' she actually knows what is a crocodile. (Not to mention how good at sketching I am.)

There is nothing so bad that no good comes of it. If anyone else requires English tuition I am available for € 8 per word.
