It occurred to me today that you might not understand what I am saying when I say "hot", "rain", "supplies" or "traffic". So here is a funny post telling you exactly what we mean!

Here is a supply kit. Consider it my Southeast Asian American Express Card -- things you don't leave home without. My standard kit -- an umbrella (for rain or shine), a video camera, a still camera, water, sunglasses, sun cream, bug repellent, a sweat bandanna and lastly, hand sanitizer. Add to this kleenex. No explanation needed -- there are oh so many uses for kleenex.

Traffic: You may think you know traffic. No you don't. In Saigon, this is rush hour. This is traffic.

Rain: Maybe when I say afternoon rain, you think sprinkles. Maybe you have even experienced a monsoon or two. Well, I hadn't. So, when I say rain, I mean insane monsoon complete and total downpour rain. The kind that floods the streets in minutes. The kind you don't just duck out in with your umbrella. This is traffic stopping, soak you in 30 seconds, afternoon monsoon rain.

In the above video we are in Cambodia. In the video below, it was this afternoon in Saigon. After this video was taken, we then crossed the street to the traffic video.

And in a slight departure, its still raining. I can't wait to see the streets in the morning!! :)
