and as much as i hate to say it, it put a disappointing damper on our weekend plans. pun intended?originally, we were scheduled to head to ganghwa island for a mini-vaca: a little escape from the gsa (greater seoul area, so you're familiar) for some r n' r. i imagined us re-doing muskoka in korea: quaint log cabin with cozy bunks, lounging on the beach, swimming, sunning, boozing, eating lots of yummy food. and yes, this fantasy is likely a far cry from what would have been, and our "cottage" would've likely turned out to be something typically korean, like a crowded homestay with mats on the floor for sleeping, or a musty canvas tent. but, whatever.
regardless, any kind of cottage dream never materialized, as the torrential downpour massively hastened any getaway enthusiasm. seriously, there was new meaning brought to the term, "when it rains, it pours" - when we woke bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 5:45am to begin our holiday trek, it was pouring. and the weather forecast called for... more pouring. needless to say, plans got nixed, and the only silver lining seemed to be returning to bed for some much needed naps.
the rainy season folks, will likely stick around until august. the air is sticky hot, and at least three typhoons are expected during the season. dear god.
