The story of two Global Nomads and their time in China.
The Toads are Coming! The Toads are Coming!
Imagine the horror...
The China Meteorological Administration is reporting on their website that a small village in Southwest China is fighting a "relentless battle" against an army of toads. The toads, spurned on by the heavy rainfall and desire to conquer the tormented village, began their invasion a few weeks ago. Although the villages feared for their lives, they would not back down against the unceasing waves of toads. Some villagers waged battle with dustpans and farm implements. Others used the age-old, but little known, hand clapping technique. Toads fear hand clapping as much as the villagers fear the toads.
Scientists were quick to point out the toad invasion is related to the climate. Little comfort to the besieged villagers, I'm afraid.
