After this morning I can no longer avoid this subject! There I was happily getting up in the dark listening to the wind and the rain (not really happy anymore when I noticed the rain) and then walked my usual way to work trying to avoid the big puddles of dirty rainwater on the side of the streets (there are loads of them and with hardly any space its really hard to avoid them).I almost made it, always carefully avoiding other pedestrians, cars and well loads of water, but then I made a big mistake: I crossed the street in front of my office turning my back on the traffic behind me for a moment. I had not noticed the biggest puddle of rainwater just on the other side and one minivan concentrated all its effort on really targeting the water.
It was the biggest splash with at least 10 meters of dirty waves all over me.
This was my worst start to the day ever! Water was dripping from my glasses; my coat and my shoes were drenched and squeaked when I walked away.
My bag was luckily waterproof (I am here now 8 months and yes there is at least something I learned already).
