rainy days.

Well, it's rainy season, and every day it seems a little more wet than the day before. This week we've had some really terrible lightening storms. Today was the first day that the rain held off, but around 7:00 pm it cut loose again. Flash floods are a big problem in Thailand because everything is concrete and there's no place for drain-off. I took the BTS home from Bible Study this evening, and when I got off was greeted with this:

[Caddy corner to the BSC, the water in the streets is knee-high, and the sidewalks are completely submerged]
[Looking down from the BTS]
[The water almost reached the BTS steps]
[Getting ready to cross the street]
[Crossing the street]
So, that's the Monday night excitement straight to you from Bangkok, Thailand!
