This year's floods are especially bad. The river has swollen to twice it's size and water has seeped into the streets, making it difficult to get around.
Residents by the river are knee/waist deep in water and most of the hotels and restaurants are vacant. I passed one furniture store with steel gates that didn't offer any protection, the water had seeped in and was encircling the legs of the tables and cabinets. The kids seem to love it though, for them, the city has turned into a swimming pool.
This year's water festival, a holiday to celebrate the end of the rainy season, has been canceled. The only thing we can do is offer our business and wait for the water to recede.
