Hellooo :D

        I am a student learning at Ruamrudee International School (RIS) located in Bangkok, Thailand. First of all, I live in a family of 5 with 3 cats and 1 dog. I love animals! <3 I have one older sister and one younger brother.
       During this time in Thailand, there had been a huge disaster happening, which is the worst flood in Thailand! The flood this year went through many areas of Thailand and left several places destroyed. Some places are still flooded and the houses are submerged. Even though my house isn't flooded, the areas around my school and also inside school was flooded, but wasn't considered a lot, because some places are flooded for 2 meters high! Because many people weren't able to come to school, and the roads to school are also flooded, our school was closed for a very longggggg time! (about 40 days) When we finally came back, the flood break took out a lot of our learning time, so we nearly had to come study on Saturdays! But because of some discussion and deciding later on, the school had decided to extend each period 15 more minutes and the schedule has been changed!    
        From learning from 7.30 AM - 2.40 PM, it has been extended and changed to 7.00 AM - 3.25 PM, which tired a lot of us! Sometimes, learning way too much hurts my brains and makes us sleepy! :( Also, lots and lots of our other holidays throughout the school year had changed from happy days into learning for nearly the whole day!
       Even though it was the WORST flooding in Thailand, it was a good experience! Normally, this happens like once in 50 years or so, but now, I have experienced it! Even though everyone had a hard time living during the flood, they all became one of the history people, because they have experienced the flood! :D

*For more information about the flooding and how it occurred, you can go to google and search for "Thailand Flood" and you will find lots and lots of information and photos!

"Floating toilet" prepared for Thailand's worst flooding~

      This is the worst flooding Thailand had ever seen in decades. Because there had never been a natural disaster this shocking before, it seems that Thai people are not prepared and thousands are suffering from this alarming event. Although people whose houses are flooded are currently having a very hard time living their lives, they try to adapt and eventually created simple, but useful devices for survival. Also, ones who aren't flooded are also trying to help, think, and create something useful in order to be helpful for the flooded ones.
      Some of the innovations I like and think that it is a good product is the floating toilet. I like this idea of the floating toilet because one of our most important thing to do is to dispose our human waste. Without bathrooms, we will just have very few choices to decide during the situation; to go to somewhere near which has a toilet, use a plastic bag, or to hold it.
      I think it is very necessary for all of us to be able to dispose our waste easily, not holding it or any other ways. So, this is the reason why I like the idea of making floating toilets for ones who aren't able to use their home bathrooms.
