A Country Unprepared for Rain

Mongolia is extremely dry. It is famous for Gobi Desert and high level of “yellow dust”. The all-mighty ultraviolet rays dry the water rapidly. Rain is rare in Mongolia, but when it pours here, half of the roads become flooded. Poop-colored water soaked my shoes my feet were more like swimming than walking. Many old buildings get drenched with water and the residents start the bucket work.

The basement of the nunnery I’m staying at is completely flooded. The water color does not look pretty. Regardless, we all jumped in and manually scooped out the water with those little buckets.

Many developing countries need to have their priorities set properly. At least do some work on the hopeless sewer system.
