Like everything in Asia the weather is done in extremes.
Hot. Very hot - yesterday the forecast told me it was 32 degrees, but felt like 38.
And then rain, until the roads are flooded and the dust has settled.
But last night it was an electrical storm that held my attention. I have never seen anything like it before; the sky flashed purple every two seconds. For hours. Though when the boom of thunder was waking me during the night (and knowing we had a 4.30am start), my attention was waning.
We have ventured into Asia in the off season, when the weather is hot and the skies open at least once a day. Maybe not my first choice of seasons, or even my second. But it's definitely captivating.
I can't say I wasn't warned; David likes to point out he told me so. And he did. But the weather, and heat, just makes the 50 cent beers even more tasty.
