Abbie and I after 5 minutes in the rain.This is my second rainy season in Cambodia. Therefore, I feel qualified to dispense some advice about rainy season behavior. Here are Kate's Tried and True Tips for Surviving the Rainy Season:
1. Wear dark colors. Bonus points if these dark colors also include water resistant or quick drying fabrics.
2. An improperly worn poncho is as effective as no poncho at all.
3. Rain hurts at high speeds. Be careful out there.
4. Someone should invent a windshield wiper for motorbike helmet visors.
5. Time your trips appropriately. It's better to be heading home than going out when the monsoon hits. No use traipsing around like a drowned rat in public.
6. Get home quickly! The roads flood-- which means you may get stuck and/or splashed by an SUV driving by at an inappropriate speed.
7. It's always the hottest right before it rains.
8. Laundry should be done in the morning if you want to hang it outside. Otherwise, you'll just do it again later.
9. Rain makes things colder and smellier, depending on the thing in question.
10. If you think it's going to rain, it probably is.

I would like to add an 8b:
If you want to do laundry, wait till it's about to rain, throw some soap on your clothes, and hang them outside. This will help conserve water :)
