Flood wall irony
by CraigTPE » 04 May 2012, 09:55
They are building a flood wall extension to prevent the JingMei and/or Xindian rivers from flooding into our community in the event of a typhoon. Well, it's been raining heavily all morning and there is flooding all right..... ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE WALL!!!

Funny.TBH
In progress construction work like this will always be prone to flooding as there is no drainage set up to deal with the excess water. Always see it on building sites. Give them an excuse to have a break
Just checking but you're a South African Engrish Teachur right? No. I'm a Russian nuclear physicist.

Even before the wall, this park is low-lying, no drainage and always soggy for days/weeks after a heavy rain.

Is that the same common sense that lets you think it's cool to laugh at other people's misfortune?
