Today is a rainy day. Raining all day. It reminds me of my beloved homecity…. Bogor. Bogor is a rain city, why? oh well, because it rains almost all year round. I had to bring umbrella or raincoat everywhere because the rain is unpredicted. You can get out from the home in a hot sunny day and go home with the wet clothes and body. So, there you go.
Mud was my biggest problem. I don’t like muddy road/place. When I went to work, I always wore long pants and when the road was muddy, you can imagine how my long pants would like.
When I went home from work or from anywhere at night, I had to take an ‘ojek’ (motorcycle service) from the big road to my house, and all the way, I was wet….my clothes, shoes, bag….ohhhh….. I was so uncomfortable at that time and of course, I couldn’t use my umbrella for that. To bring a raincoat was a hassle for me too 
I didn’t like the thunders and storms that come with the rain either. It scared me. I heard lot of stories about people who got strucked by the thunder, lightning and storms. Hiyyy……. so, to avoid that I had to spend long time on the shade somewhere waiting for the rain to calm down.
It was a hassle for me to travel anywhere in Bogor during rainy days. But now, I miss that. I miss being wet and cold on the rain. I miss running and jumping to avoid the mud and big hole full of water on the street, I miss taking ojek and getting wet all over my body… I miss my rain city.
Here when I see the rain…. those memories come again…. and I feel so homesick. Bogor is the best city for me… and always will be.
