Ok I wanted to blog and post pictures and videos about our trip to Atlanta, but it was the after trip happening that was so much more exciting and shocking so above is the video of the morning after we came home to a raining house.

Story: We were filling gas at a gas station about 2 mins south of our house. While waiting for my tank to fill up, we heard a fire truck siren approaching our direction and heading towards the direction of our apartment. Thinking nothing of it, we continue to finish up our thing and began to drive back home. By this time, we have already driven 6 hours from North Carolina, we were tired, dirty and hungry. Then, when we drove into the road leading our apartment, a fire truck was driving out from that direction. I casually made a joke, "Oooo that must be coming from our place." So we continued to drive on and saw there was another fire truck parked right in front of our apartment block and Sihou, our neighbour was standing out front too. We quickly parked, but still didn't worry too much because Sihou did not have that worried a look on his face. Until we got out of our car, he walked towards us and said, 'They just opened the door to your apartment." And we knew. The sprinkler pipe on the 3rd floor had burst due to the freezing weather and all the water came pouring down onto our house. The night we walked into our war torn house, I found it rather comical but Hei thought it was rather frustrating.

See how different people react differently to situations?
