Clothings at 50-70% Discount

I came upon this bundle of clothings that are sold at 50-70%discount by the India Street sidewalk. The reason the shopkeepers here disposed them cheaply was due to the heavy rains and high tide that brought in the river waters creeping into the shophouses thus drenching the clothings . The clothings that got drenched were disposed by selling them at fantastic discounts. Last month Kuching received its highest rainfall in two days, equivalent to about 400 mm of rain. The amount of rain that Kuching normally received in a year ( over many years now) is only 300 mm. Well you can imagine how wet was Kuching when the equivalent of a year's rain was soaked into two days.

Clouds and Rains Towards Kuching

In the far distance heavy clouds formed and rains have fallen at certain locations.

It has been a full month of November that we left Kuching.  On this 1st of December we took to the road again for a 10 hours journey to Kuching from Bintulu.  The month of November is very rainy in Bintulu and as we drove the only highway that ran the length of Sarawak we encountered heavy rains too especially on the last lap of the journey while nearing Kuching.

The wiper saves the day without which we will not be able to see clearly ahead.

Travelling long distances I prefer some rain along the way mainly to cool off the hot tyres though it somewhat slow down the journey. We can't have it both ways. Too dangerous to speed on slippery roads.
