There I was, stuck at a Mercury drugstore one afternoon, staring at the rain falling on the busy, black, asphalt roadway outside. A thought came drifting out of nowhere, and I asked myself: why doesn't it rain like this in Manila?
Then I realized, Manila would be unbearable if it had Surigao's weather. Lots of rain, heat and humidity plus equally generous amounts of congestion and pollution is a recipe for a tropical urban nightmare.  Labels: rantings, Surigao, weather |
Well, they could. But it's not like I'm saying they would. And the fact that they do and enjoy some of the very same things that we, common people, do - like eating isaw at a cheap barbecue joint at the Pier - tends to even things out a bit.
