Here though, rain can be somewhat more exciting. Tropical thunderstorms are often intense. I think it is the show-like aspect that I enjoy. We only had a little rain on the first day we got to Malaysia. It was very bright during the time Jay's sisters were visiting.
Finally, this afternoon we had two showers. Earlier than usual, at around two o'clock, it rained hard for a few minutes. Then, just now as we'd decided to go to the supermarket the thunder rumbled and it started to pour. We were already downstairs and waited for a while for it to let up. It didn't. After seeing that it was not over after twenty minutes, we came back up to the eighteenth floor. It was less humid because of the A/C in our apartment.
Eventually, we did make it over to the supermarket. I cannot say the weather-related interruption bothered me. I find showers less annoying than the constant grey clouds which tend to settle over Vancouver for months on end.
