Bangkok Cleans Up

Residents of Bangkok pitch in to help begin a massive clean up effort in their city from the major flooding they've been experiencing since this summer. Over 600 people were killed in these floods, mostly from drowning. Business and homeowners say that their efforts in clean up and rebuilding will be centralized around more "flood-friendly" buildings, using different materials such as bricks to resist mold build up, etc. These efforts are costing citizens anywhere from $400-6,000 US dollars.
