Showering in Thailand

Next time you're living with a family in Bangkok, remember this fact broadcast by the local authorities.

They have informed locals not to collect water from their roofs for an hour after a shower of rain. Why? Because this is the time it takes to get the water up to a pH level that will not cause damage. Rainwater in the first hour of downpour is as acid as tomato juice.

Ouch!
