Hi, James. Ben, how are you?

I'm good, I'm good. Although it is, it is unbelievable, like, so it's usually very

rainy in Taipei in the spring and summer, but it has been crazy. Like yesterday,

there was like eight straight hours of thunderstorms, which, which, uh, it's been, it's been

something else. So hopefully we will, if you suddenly hear a downpour in the middle of this recording, you'll have to, you have to excuse me. Those, um, so I lived in Thailand for a year. And those,

uh, those tropical thunderstorms are one thing that I really, really miss. As long as I'm not having

to ride my bike. Um, man, I, I'd love to be there. Yeah. Well, Yeah, you say that. It's because it sounds very romantic

until you have to actually go somewhere. And even if you carry an umbrella, it's only

function to keep your head dry because everything else is just going to get totally soaked.

I remember that too. It's almost like in terms of how you get wet, it's like it's raining from underneath.

First your feet get sodden and then your legs get sodden

and then it's up to your waist.

And it slowly makes its way up your chest.

Right. Well, you just have to accept it.

And fortunately, you're already soaked

because it's so humid before it before the downpour actually comes.

So just just embrace it.

Exactly.

It's shifting the means of being wet.

Right.

Put the umbrella down and go with it.

I'm sure this is thrilling for our audience.
