Rain

For the last 2 weeks it has been raining off and on in my village. I kinda, secretly hate when it rains because the streets here are made of dirt and rocks. I am slowly learning how to walk in the mud here. It's pretty gross, actually sometimes I choose not to go oustide. Well, I don't have much of a choice because my street gets flooded since sewers do not exist in small villages. It looks like a small river infront of my house when it rains a lot. Most people stay at home until the rain stops and the sun come out to dry up the mud. Yeah it's weird, it rains and soon after it stops the sun comes out and it's hot again. I never complain about the rain to the people in the village because most people here collect rain water to drink, wash and/or bath in. I myself was bathing in rain water when I was living with my host family. It's not smart to drink it though if it is not boiled. Now I get water out of a pipe outside of my house. But most people do not have the luxury of having a pipe sticking out of the ground in their backyard.
