We usually see it, the blue sky full of white foam-like clouds and the cheerful daylight of Hoi An.
We are used to it, the friendly warmth from the daily honey-feel sunshine and the cozy Western wind.
Then, the rains pour.
A day in Hoi An without those happy radiant colors.
Hush and rush, people run in circle, to find a safe hide-out and to protect their goods.
The streets become a bath of mixed sounds, a chaotic harmony of bizarre noises.
After moments, the streets are empty.
Every heartbeat seems so slow. Every pulse seems so quiet.
The city sleeps tight during the day, gently hiding under a thick layer of watery transparent veil.
For hours and hours, there are only amusement and silence left in Hoi An, because of the sudden rain.
