You never know what the rain might wash in

I don’t mean to make Malaysia look uncivilized, but some of my (apparently very delighted) compatriots found this python in a restaurant in the nation’s capital after a heavy downpour. Presumably Mr. Slithers here was looking for shelter from the rain. Or maybe he was after one of the large rats that usually hang out in the back alleys of our beloved eating places. We’re not a third-world country. Really.
