Rainy Season Day 3

Living in Shanghai means coming to terms with the fact that neither you nor anything you own will ever be dry again.

Umbrella not 100% effective in keeping me dry on my walk to work.

These are usually a much lighter grey.

It's customary in offices, malls, etc. to offer people entering the building a plastic bag of some kind for their umbrella, to keep some of the water off the floors.

This is apparently happening somewhere in Shanghai (not near me) right now. (Photo credit Shanghai Daily)

Did you know? Shanghai gets about 25% more rain than Seattle every year. It's also much warmer than Seattle. They're not really similar cities at all.
