I noticed that the sky had turned abnormally dark when the thunder started five minutes ago. There's an access door in the 16th floor server room that leads to the only outside pavilion between ground and roof, so I squeezed in with some of the tech support guys going to brave the winds for a better look. Immediately after opening the door, the blinds flew out onto the landing, and I could tell by their growing excitement that I was probably about to see my first hard rain. Bangkok’s rough pollution stings a little worse when its coming at you with high speed, so we didn’t spend a lot of time out there. Now I’m back inside and a little wet, and a lot exhilarated, trying to relate an energy of five or six million when it suddenly turns black over Asia’s City of Angels.
