Three Day Forecast

This little image sums up one of the things that I really like about living here in HK - the rain. Growing up in a very dry place, I remember it was always very exciting when it finally rained, and always disappointing when the rain stopped. Now I get it a few months of the year in massive quantities.
Of course there is a downside - umbrella fear. It rains so heavily that of course everyone has an umbrella, which makes walking along the crowded footpaths a very tricky experience. A lot of people here are slightly shorter than me which puts their umbrellas at my eye-level, so I keep having moments where I nearly get the spoke of an umbrella pushed into my eye.
But the rain makes it worthwhile.
