"Po-tsoon po-tsoon"

"Po-tsoon" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for big, fat raindrops hitting the ground. Since yesterday, it seems like we've suddenly entered the Ethiopian rainy season as both nights it has begun to po-tsoon rain around 8pm. Tonight the rain is accompanied by thunder and a fairly impressive light show in the sky with no signs of it letting up. And to add to the excitement, the power suddenly cut so my room is now illuminated by a single candle, the glow of my laptop and the occasional flash of lightning visible through the thin, white window drapes.
