Most office buildings have a lift , especially if they are constructed in the last few decades.
However during heavy rainfall, the lift mechanism may get flooded and damaged.
Repairing the lift is a time consuming process, and it can take up to a week to get the lift repaired.
So all visitors to the offices have to climb the stairs.
Climbing to the 6th or 7th floor can be tedious and tiring, especially for those who are not used to climbing the stairs.
Some buildings are keeping a plastic chair at each floor, so that visitors who feel tired can get some rest.
