Floods

Rob and I wanted to get to work early this morning so we cancelled our ride with the van that picks everyone on our team up for work and decided to call a cab. It had been raining heavily all night but heavy rains are not unusual in Sri Lanka. We were unable to get a taxi however as all the cab companies reported the it would take them hours to pick us up. What was going on? We looked outside our apartment building to find the city completely flooded!

In some ways, living as a foreigner in Sri Lanka is like being on a reality tv show. You have intense cravings for foods not available, terrible bug bites, and you need to expect the unexpected!
