Ugh, I thought I left the rain in Portland

Another rainy day here in Taipei. Not only has it been raining all day, but it's been raining hard. Last night was even worse. I was planning on going out to meet some friends, but decided to stay home rather than risk getting swept away in some flash floods. Having lived in Seattle and Portland for the last 10 years you'd think I'd be used to it, but it's really starting to become a drag. Maybe I'm just getting old... I'm heading to Thailand on Friday, if it's raining there I'm going to ask the powers that be to refund my expenses.
