See the Shamu Show!

Taiwan's weather is f'd up. It'll be sunny one minute and then all of a sudden start pouring. This usually happens in the afternoon during my transit time. I only give myself 30 minutes between classes and so basically, I have to book it everywhere. 

The other day, it was like POURING but I had to get to my next class so I had no choice but to brave it on my scooter (saving money yo!). I still haven't invested in a proper raincoat so I'm wearing one from 7-11 that already has a few snag holes in it. On this particular day, I decided to wear shoes instead of sandals and so my shoes are completely soaked through and squish everytime I put my foot down. I'm like cursing under my breath everytime some fucker cuts me off and that fogs up the shield on my helmet. Just great... Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, it does...

So I'm only halfway to my next student's house and an asshole zips past me, right over a gigantic puddle in the road. The splash he made hit me head on. HARD. It was like the Shamu show but with a car instead of a big ass killer whale, and with dirty ass road water. Again, I cursed under my breath and again my shield got fogged up. le sigh...
