Hallo cute rain

As you know I live (and born )in Chile, a very large country so the weather is very different in all the cities. Is a long fringe of ground!  Specifically I live in Concepción, a city of the south of Chile that is very humid and has a bi-polar weather. A bi-polar weather means the days can be sunny for some hours but lather can rain! Is a little freaky.

The strong wind make me feel like Mary Poppins!

The first year I lived here, I had problem with the weather. Due to I had lived all my life in a dry weather I didn't have "these appropriate clothes" for live here. (I didn't know how use an umbrella!).  I felt afraid with rainstorms and I couldn't sleep. So I've worn earplugs in the nights since I moved to Concepción. I don't want look like a zombie when I go out!

Some experiences with this tricky weather destroyed my stupid idea about live in a rainy city could be "romantic".

Experience 1: It's impossible walk around Concepción with an umbrella and arrive at home dry. Really! One time, I took my pink coat and umbrella and went out with a smile in my face. I was happy for the idea of walk round the street in the rain. Well, due to the wind was strong, my umbrella broke and the rain got wet me.

Experience 2: I got a special umbrella. The wind can't break this "super umbrella", even if it's stronger. When I went to the University this umbrella worked well, but I arrived at my destiny totally wet again! The rain here don't fall vertically. The rain go straight to your body and face even if you have "the biggest" umbrella.

Experience 3: My shoes. My old shoes don't work well when it rain (but I look wonderful when I wearing it). I need a special pair of shoes but I really hate this plastics boots that all the stores sell. My first year in Concepción, I didn't have enough money for bought special shoes but I needed be dry, so I wore big heels for avoid the water in my feet. Sometimes, some streets look like huge rivers and neither the highest shoes could help you.

I tried to fall in love with this weather. I found a "pretty" special boots (they aren't so ugly) and got a impermeable. I wear my umbrella yet because protect my lashes to the rain. Is important use a special bag for protect your laptop and don't walk near to the street, the cars don't go slower to avoid splashing water!

If you miss the sunny days, make a chocolate cup and put good music. It's the best for those sad days when the sky cries.
