Be careful what you wish for. After 4 straight weeks of non-stop rain and flooding, the hot season has finally come to Korea. While it was only last week that I was wishing for the rain to stop, now after one day I'm wishing the hot season would end. It seems as if I don't like the rainy or hot season in Korea. While today's temperature is forecast to be sunny with a high of 29 C, the humidity will push that to about 35 C. I woke up at 3:00 this morning covered in sweat and have been unable to get back to sleep (it is now 6:11 a.m.). The one good thing is that my bath towel was actually dry when I woke up. During the rainy season I had to put up with damp towels pretty much every morning. On the up side, I'm traveling to Vietnam and Cambodia next week. While the trip will give me some relief from the Korean heat, I will be thrown into the Vietnamese rainy season. I can't win!
