My Face Turns Red After Eating Popcorn

monsoon

The country, if they still can speak of "country" is wet and the wet sponge. If you would wring it that only led to more Flooding. Yes, yes, the rainy season. Before, we were surprised us when even the smallest rivers and streams over their banks more often occurred when the plains were regularly flooded. Now everyone talks only as a matter of course "cold monsoon" , as they said earlier by "Winter" . Long ago, no one has fun more than the webs, which are up to the challenge between the fingers and toes. So troublesome during the rainy season the trip to the office with a canoe and is - the time the boats did not last long before they fell victim to the penultimate oil rationing, and public Spherical vessels are too unreliable. But eventually you get used to everything. Or almost everything, as the reintroduced water snakes and giant mutant frogs are still anathema to me. That's why I now always a machete in a briefcase with me to work wearing, I would not let me once even dreamed of. The abandoned farms and Honschaften the plains that rise from those in the rainy season, only the rotting roofs from the water, have long since become fixed landmarks. baked in the dry season, when the buildings fall dry, and the thick layer of mud that surrounds them, from the sun into a solid crust, they are uncanny. Then they stink of death and decay, and I make a wide berth around them. Today I was on the floating weekly market, some rice and fish from the region have bought, which they capture in this country with tame cormorants. On the way I'm passing the mail boat that has run already on base, because the fog horn is broken on the church tower for weeks. It does not absorb the moisture, they say. If things do not already, then what is the first with the people?
