It’s stormy today. Lightning is sweeping across the pitch-dark sky, and thunders rumbling and crashing successively. Somehow, this weather has reminded me of the wet monsoon in Vietnam I studied days ago. Climate affects how people live deeply. In Vietnam, people live with floods. They build their houses on stilts and grow rice during the wet season. In the dry season, the Mekong River dries up, and salty water flows in from the sea. Rice can’t grow in salty water. Farmers turn their rice paddies into shrimp farms. After I’ve learned all those things, storms are not that scary anymore. After all, they could be a sort of natural resource and some people are happy living with them.
