By the end of this week it started to feel a bit more like "normal" Hong Kong - grey, super humid and unbelievable amounts of water coming from the sky.
We had the grey, and some humidity but it was just a constant fog - but now the rains have arrived and will be around all weekend of course.
We had mostly "amber" rain - more rain coming out of the sky than you can imagine. But on Thursday evening we had an hour of "black" rain - hard to describe but it is multiples more rain than has been coming down at a great pace and usually if very specific locations. Whatever they call storms over here they tend to involve lots of water at some point - and sometimes that same large intensity of water for hours and hours.
The streets are always very full with both people and vehicles on the weekend. When you add umbrellas to the mix, even on a slow day, it is an every person for themselves war zone - a definite reason to wear glasses if you want to save your eye sight.
