Rainy Seasons

Today may have been the start of the rainy season in Cambodia. Rain in Cambodia is so majestic. It was very hot and humid today compared to the other days. I was hoping for rain to come down during mid day, but it did not happened. Today was very interesting. I went out to the outskirts of Phnom Penh for my internship today. We got very lost because there are some street signs or most (from what I have observed), don't really exist. So it almost took our tuk tuk driver an hour to get to the destination because we were lost. On our way back to the guesthouse, it was late afternoon and it began to sprinkle for a couple seconds and then it down poured. It down poured like crazy. It was very refreshing from the hot and humid heat. It was also very pretty at the same time as I was watching from within the tuk tuk. The rain is unlike rain I have experience. I usually am not a fan of rain, especially after our week of cold rain. This rain was just mystifying I watched the drops of water drop in to the side of my seat and hit my foot. It felt amazing to feel the cool rush of droplets on the ends of my toes. It continued to rain for awhile and I believed it stop for a little bit, but as soon as I got to the guest house, I talked to my roommate for a while and passed out like a log. When I woke up, I went to dinner at this Thai resturaunt. As soon as we were finished, it began to rain again. I am building a new appreciation for rain, especially after the pass couple days in this hot and humid climate. The humidity here makes Minnesota humidity look like a vacation.But I believe I am building a better relationship with the humidity. I feel that we are getting to the next stage and becoming friends. Finally.
