the small rainy season

in the south there are two rainy seasons: big and small. now it's the small one starting. we've already noticed that it's the small seasons of big rains not the big season of small rains... :)

it rains and rains - heavily or lightly but since sunday almost all the time. when it stops, it gets instantly hot and humid. everything dries immediately (fortunately, our cloths too...) and then it starts raining again... all the roads are paddles of mud (what's more, there're some roads that were repaired last week, so the ground is soft and likely to be washed away), short trip on zem means you're all covered with mud, washing clothes is a risky business (will it dry or not?), air is thick...

but the people live with it. as they live with electricity crisis which happen from time to time. light goes out in the whole zone for half an hour or so. funny thing, yesterday i was working in the office when the electricity went out. while i was trying to find a torch, vivid discussion next door didn't stop even for a second. i thought they still have their light on, but next door it was also dark. they just didn't care:)
