Raining is very common in Kaohsiung City, especially in these few weeks. It’s really regular to have a sunny weather in the morning and a rainy weather that changed dramatically in the afternoon, just like what happened at Sep 7, 2016.

Eventually, it was sunny all the way until around 4 o’clock at Sep 7. The rain just came around 4:10 with no portent. People with no umbrellas started to avoid the rain and run to the arcade nearby as fast as they could in front of Sanduo MRT station. However, people with umbrellas are also walking toward the arcade as quick as possible, because the wind kept puffing rain horizontally to them.

But, why didn’t Sanduo MRT station provide free umbrellas for pedestrians? Why isn’t the bus station in front of Sanduo MRT station with a roof?

Sine rainy and humid weather is really common in Kaohsiung City, measures should be taken by the government. Although pedestrians should remember to bring their own umbrella, the government should also prevent citizens from getting soaking wet or slipping over the wet floor while avoiding rain, by establishing more bus stations with roof and providing free umbrellas in public areas.

However, citizens should also collaborate with the government from not taking umbrellas away and consider them as their own property. As a conclude, everyone has the responsibility to keep Kaohsiung as a friendly city.
