Dear Burma,
I really don’t appreciate all of the rain. But we need it so that we can shower, cook, and wash our clothes. So, though I keep complaining about being wet, please don’t let it stop. Because once you do, everyone who lives where I am will have a very difficult time, as they do every year when this happens.
There is a reason why people like to put their homes and villages near rivers and creeks. We need water for survival. And yet so many people are forced to live on the mountain, away from the water. It feels like some sort of cruel joke, to hike down to the river for a shower, only to climb back up and feel dirty, sweaty, and exhausted all over again.
In the mean time, thanks for all of the drops, even if I do complain a little about the mildew.
