The rainy season

It knows how to rain in Vietnam. The rainy season is upon us and when it rains, it pours. I like it most of the time. It cools down everything and freshens the air. It can only be a bummer when you're not prepared for it. And then, it might piss me off. But on a day like today, when I'm safe under the awning of my hotel, I can enjoy the elements and the ensuing cool-down.

Yesterday, on the other hand, with a sore ass from having been on the bike about two hours, sunburned, hot, running late and then completely soaked - rain gear and all - unable to see out of my glasses, driving through enormous puddles and tremendous traffic, was a different story.
