La Niña

My Spanish speaking readers will jump on this one... I guess they might be disappointed, as I'm going to talk about the weather...
La Niña is a meteorological phenomenon, something similar to the better known El Niño. La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific, as compared to El Niño, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific. This phenomenon appears with a certain regularity, every four to eight years, and it might last for up to two years. Its consequences are widespread, but especially for Indochina and here Vietnam it means higher precipitation and temperatures. It can be noticed already, because the monsoon season hasn't really started yet, but it's raining almost every day. Concerning the temperatures: you can't change the shirts as fast as they are wet from sweat... fortunately rain and sometimes the wind from distant storms bring down the temperature a bit.

But before publishing this post, I might as well write a few words about Las Niñas...
Vietnamese girls must be the prettiest and most natural in the whole universe... no need for more words... if you don't believe it, come and see (and admire) yourselves...
