Pub Street

 Tonight we went out to have dinner and took a lovely tropical ride in a remorques, which is the Cambodian equivalent of a tuk tuk.  It was balmy and comfortable at whatever temperature it was and a walk was a nice option.

 We were half way through our meal when the lights started to flicker far off in the distant sky.  

It didn’t take long before the lovely festive atmosphere in the street was completely obliterated by the rain!

The heavens opened and down it came!  Not just in heavy rain, but in restaurant closing, street emptying rain, thunder and lightning.  It poured so much that the guttering was soon full and puddles appeared across the streets and it was full in about 5 minutes.  The restaurant we were in pulled all their cushions and furniture in and wound down the awnings, while everyone stood around going…….. holy, that is better pressure than the shower I had this morning!!

Call me a skeptic again, but this video below can not be good!  I know a little about how power works and I’m thinking maybe a little health and safety might not hurt considering this light was about shoulder height on me.  An orange cone anyone?
