Thai Innovation :D

I think Thai people are really bright to create inventions that can help people during the flood from simple objects that are easy to find. One of my favorites invention is the floating toilet. Waste disposal has been a problem during the flood, but excretion is a process of life so everyone waster take out their waste. With the floating toilet, there is a place for people to do their business without leaving their waste in the water and making the water unclean. Another invention that I think is very creative is the jet ski which is made from simple objects. Transportation is important during the flood because people need to go out and find food for their family. The jet ski can carry about 13 people, and it is not that hard to make. A small village could help each other to find objects to create one for the whole village where they can take a trip to the market together. I think these innovations come from people who have seen or study the flood and they could see what we need but couldn't find. From those points, they try to invent something that can be made easily by normal people but will also be useful. I want to thank all the people who create these invention that help the people who are in the flood! :D

Flood!! :(

Lately, there has been a lot of flood in Thailand. Many believe, that it is caused by people cutting down trees to build city and towns. Trees help suck in part of the water which helps protect the land from flood, but once we cut down those trees and create dams, we must we able to control the water. If the water is out of control, it will flood. This flood did not affect my family directly because my house isn't flooded, but it affects me in many way. First of all, I must waste money to buy sandbags, which will help prevent my house from being flooded. Also, due to the flood, the school is closed and which makes learning harder. My family still lives in Bangkok because my grandparents have to come live with us since their house is flooded. I think this crisis will make the country economics go down. Foreigners would not want to travel to Thailand since it is flooded. There are many needs for food, clothing, water, and shelter, I think this will cause the price of many things to go up. I have learned from Mrs. Torie that if there is high demand and the same supply, then the price would rise up. Lastly, I hope wish my friends and teachers who are reading this to have a safe time in Thailand.
