Monsoon Season
So whilst the sun is shining back home in England, with the festivals well on their way, it's monsoon season here in South Korea. It sounds quite exotic, don't you think? It's not!
The winter here is cold, really cold, getting to about minus 10, maybe minus 15 with the wind chill. It's dry and long, I rememeber it raining about 5 times.
Then in about March, it starts to get bearable. When it's safe to go outside without your longjohns on, and long socks pulled up, without the hat, scarf, gloves and muliple layers. I found it quite liberating at the time to be free of the constricting materials thats make you look like you've put on a stone.
April is beautiful with all the blossom, and sunshine. A time when you can enjoy the breeze against your skin without the fear of getting frost bite. Since this point in the seasons, I thought the weather would be enjoyable. But I feel as though we've reverted back to a different kind of winter. The sky is consistantly grey, and the rain constantly falls. So much so that parts of Seoul are flooded and Jeju-do (island) is being torn apart by the violent rain and and wind.
What else to do in this weather but eat and watch films.
