Rainy Yangon

    It is definitely the monsoon here in Yangon. It rains a lot AND it is hot when it is not raining. You sometimes have days that it is freaking hot in the morning till mid day while it rains cats and dogs in the evening that you have had to turn your AC off. When it rains in Yangon, the roads get really dirty and most of them are flooded. You will get dirty yellowish water sometimes with some rubbish that will come to your feet and leave them itchy if you do not wash properly right when you get home. 

     I do not DO NOT like rainy season in Yangon. Of course you will like it when you don't have to go out and don't have to go school or work just to be in your bed all day long reading your favourite book with a cup of cappucino or a cup of chai in your warm and fuzzy blankets that wrap you like a baby. You will absolutely LOVE that. But when it comes to the fact that you are obliged to go outside and make A LIVING, the rains becomes your Satan and you will get angry pretty easily every morning when you get ready yourself to go to work or every evening when you try to hang out with your friends. Meet ups will have to be cancled because of the rain and some lazy people just don't want to be outside when it rains. 

    But one good side of the monsoon here is that you get plenty of fruits, fresh and amazingly delicious especially mangoes ..... OMG I LOVE LOVE mangoes. I don't know if you can get different kinds of mangoes in where you live or not. Here in Yangon , when monsoon starts (which is about June to Aug), we can see diffrent kinds of mangoes with different shapes and colors and every kind is delicious to me. I love everything that is made with mango , mango ice cream , mango juice , mango cake , mango jelly .. literally everything. Mango is great , mango is everything. You can even eat it with rice , with just plain rice and fresh mangoes. That's a perfect match right there .. BOOM rice and mango. 

   Anyway ,we cannot have all the good things in our life right . that's the life. We have to have the bad things in life so that we can more appreciate and enjoy the good things. 


Happy Monsoon :D
