Five Umbrellas Drying

After a solid two months of hot, sunny weather, monsoon season has officially hit Korea. It's been raining pretty much non-stop for the last 48 hours and from the looks of the forecast... the rain is here to stay (and we might even get a tropical storm tomorrow)!

The rainy weather makes for a nice soundtrack at bedtime, but it makes life a lot harder when you walk everywhere. For one, traffic has been much worse since the rain hit, and walking on the sidewalk in overpopulated Gangnam has gotten even more annoying than usual. Koreans love to slowly mosey to wherever they're going, and the rain has made them slower than ever. Add 50,000 umbrellas to the mix and I might just become a hermit until the sun comes out in a few weeks time.

All I ask is that the rain dries up on July 30th. I really don't want to be wheeling four overstuffed suitcases in the rain up Gangnamdaero!
