Memories of the Monsoon Season : |
| The
rain causes thick mud, you sink into it when you walk and it
sticks to your clothes. |
| The rain
comes down too quickly without warning; people stay under shelters
and trees in parks, shivering. |
| Floods
come down from the hills, you have to go out and block up the
doors. We used plastic bags with bricks in, blankets or sand.
The rain travels down the village in streams. |
| We lived
in 3 floor houses when the rains came we would have to put the
cows and sheep away downstairs under the house. |
| You
have to hurry when the rain is coming it goes very dark. |
|
The rain
took 3 people in the river to the next village, they died.
