And the rains just keep coming. It’s really quite amazing to me. The river is some 6 or 7 feet higher than it was a week ago. No joke.
This is the row of fortune-teller booths that I walk through every morning on my way to campus. I never really thought much of it until, well, it struck me: these people make a good living by telling fortunes. That seems exceedingly strange to me. Obviously, I’m in a foreign culture.
I post this now because, as I walked through the above row on my way to the ferry tonight, it was through three inches of standing water. I can only fear for how much more it’ll rise during the night.
For my part, I really enjoy the rain. But for the part of the city of Bangkok, I hope things clear up for a few days. For the record, my two-dollar-and-some-change umbrella is proving to be one of the best purchases of my life.
All I can say is… I’m glad I live on the 6th floor. =)
roofles you can’t find a freaking umbrella for less than 10 bucks here.
How cool is the umbrella though? Mine is cool, and is cost me 8, but how cool is yours?
for the record, that song is the dumbest part of that whole movie…
the song might be dumb, the accompanying dance kicks ass.
and for the record its rained 2 days straight here in boston and i’m still going without an umbrella (despite being still soaked)
well as long as we’re posting things for the record, I managed to make it for six weeks in Bangkok’s monsoon season without an umbrella.
fine punk. i’ll go the whole time in INDIA’s monsoon season without an umbrella. just you wait! watch me!
For another record, I made it through Ireland’s “monsoon season” without an umbrella, um, yeah, take that!
for the record i made it through bozeman’s “monsoon”season without a tarp.
well for the record. it hasn’t rained in laramie so i don’t need an umbrella
