Nope, in India :-)
You really should spend June in Bombay some day.
I stood on my mother-in-law's balcony and watched the rain fall, three
inches in half an hour...
I watched the roads fill up and the traffic slowly disappear until all that
was left on the road was the huge BEST buses ploughing through six inches of
water on the road.
Our pani wallah (bread man) couldn't get to work on his bike because the
Mahim causeway was under four feet of water, but it didn't matter because
the local bakery was as well...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
