It had been raining for the past few weeks, not surprise during this plum raining season. The weather is affected by the southwest monsoon… with the 2 typhoon Talim and Guchol surrounding the Taiwan, it was speculated to be the worst raining session ever. The local govt. had declared a holiday on 6/20 and the kids were happy. I did not enjoy the leave as I had to go to work anyway.
Driving to work is a challenging task even though the road is not expected to be flooded but the water pooling along the roadside cause a splash from time to time proved to be some fun driving across it. Z was a good car but still it shortcoming was the height, it is just a wagon but with Fefe, I lost the fun of maneuvering but gain the confident of driving through minor flood, I always remembered my dad’s advice – [ye how nga gan ji hang[Cantonese] ]drive through with 2nd gear, never stops or else – if water enter your exhaust pipe, you are done…
….I had a smooth drive as the was only a handful of car during the drive. It was raining intermittently with no heavy down pour.
The rain had become smaller in the midnight and I had a hard call….
I had encountered a tough drive during a heavy rainy day back in Malaysia. The rain was so heavy that I could barely see the road with my wiper at its maximum speed. However I had multiple similar encounter here in Taiwan and getting used to it...
It is one of the worst year, rain and earth quake here and there, I really missed Malaysia which is relatively disaster free….
