Rain. And I am not singing.

Rain and thunderstorms are not like they are in the states here in Vanuatu. Why? Well when it rains here everything is affected some for good and some not so good. In the states rain is a minor inconvenience. Hop in a car and go here... Just go walk around the mall... Stay inside the house... Rain= No big deal, but here in Vanuatu it's a little differnt.

Tink tink blo mi nomo is that there is 2 kinds of rain: Good and Bad.

Good Rain:
 - When it rains smol plants grow, the temperature cools off a little, and maybe you can fill up your rain tank just a little

Bad Rain:
 - Down pours that last hours
 - Beingliterally trapped in your house; remembering you walk everywhere here
 - Soft mud when your village is on a hill= holding hands with ni-vans so you won't fall
 - Causing small-big flooding
 - Feeling damp all the time b/c your house is not completly cealed
 - Having a tin roof which makes the sound of even light rain deaffening
 - Being in a tin house (cealing and walls) during a lightning storm. Safe?
 - Feeling the thunder vibrations shake through your house
 - Completly filling up your rain tank with ice cold water= freezing bucket showers
 - Not being able to go to the garden for food
 - Not being able to dry your clothes, towel, etc.

But after all this, I'd still take my house and village over a custom house any-day, especially in a thunder storm



 - Been raining for the last 7 days, looks like another 7 to come
