Summer

Summer in Korea is like a giant 찜질방 (i.e. hot and humid like a sauna).

I used to think summer in Korea was horrendous compared to SoCal, but then I forgot about the humidity, grossly huge bugs, and the rain showers.

Even though it can get hotter in SoCal, I end up sweating a lot more in Korea 'cause of the darn humidity.

I suppose I should consider the "glass half full" aspect of it: at least it's better for your skin.

The HUGE upside of Korean winter is that all the bugs DIE or go into some sort of hibernation, so there aren't annoying bugs that range from tiny little gnat-like flying critters to huge junebug-like beetles that somehow aim for my face while I'm walking ㅠ.ㅠ But it's summer now, so all those bugs are out and about.

Oh yeah, can't forget 'em mosquitoes. I guess I'm sensitive enough to the point where my bite mark remains swollen for up to two weeks after the bite.

And the rain... you think the rain would be a relieve from the hot summer. It's completely opposite. It's HOTTER and more humid. You walk around in shorts or a skirt when it's POURING RAIN~~~* I guess it's better than wearing soaked jeans, but it's a strange concept for me. You should be wearing warm clothing when it rains, not less.

I miss SoCal weather where it's summer 80-90% of the year. We're so spoiled XD

O well, one more month until I'm on a plane headed home!!! Now, just gotta figure out where I'm gonna crash in SoCal... *tinkerthinkthink*
