Why couldn't the weather have been this nice for the whole ride? I know exactly why. If the weather had been great every day, I wouldn't have had that crazy story about the typhoon to write about. And I would have never learned how to take down the king. And you would have never seen the picture of me in that ridiculous attempt at a raincoat. Just to name a few...
