30/10/2007 - Rain
About a week ago the wind directions changed from West to East. This means the rainy season was ready to hit Koh Tao.
And it did. Bad.
It rained for about 24 hours without stop! The next day it kept on raining, up till today (with one day sunshine in between)
Next to my new house, situated on a hill with seaview, a waterfall turned up. The noise was so loud that I had to raise my voice to talk.
It also woke up the frogs. Their noise is so loud that you can't imagine such a small animal is making such an enormous sound.
When I drove down to go to work, the dirtroad from my house started changing rapidly.
Whilst I was teaching, my boss asked me to come have a look outside.
What I saw there was a rapidly rising river that used to be our main road.
A car drove through. A bit too fast. The car made a wave what broke the window of an internetshop (second time this week the window broke). All the computers were floating on the water. Nothing to save, too late.
On www.esnips.com/user/scubajazz you can see more amazing pics from wet, wet, wet Koh Tao. Look under october 2007 and under my video. Check out the video, it's great!
Over the past week my road changed into no road. I can only drive this road sober and with my 2 feet on the ground. Luckely I didn't fall over yet. I think the changes of falling over are extremely bigger than not to fall over. Pure luck again.
Over the past week the viz underwater changed from 20 meters to zero meters.
Teaching diving now is a hard core business. If you look back you can only see one student, if you look where you are going you can hardly see the shades from the rocks.
If you find the buoyline back, it's pure luck.
I don't have a picture of that , cause there is nothing to see.
Everything feels wet, clothes, cushens, everything.
Today It seems to be a little light in the sky. Let's see for how long. My raincoat looks like I am gonna clean up a nuclear area. It keeps me dry, but raincoats are as far from sexy as speedo's are.
