Traveler’s rite of passage

I finally flooded it!

After 20 years living, traveling and working in developing Asia you’d  think I would have flooded a motorbike in a tropical rainstorm by now. Well, truth is I’ve tried but never succeeded. Until now!

This little alleyway is behind my office. When it rains it floods and today was the day that I finally found enough water to flood my bike!

The guy that followed me through was obviously a bit more skilled than me. I’m usually pretty adept  at maintaining enough momentum, but today the water got in and my bike promptly stalled!

Finally, I thought. Weird, but I kinda felt proud of myself.
