The Rainy Season...

...is officially here. Bringing out umbrellas, forcing people to sprint to the nearest shelter, flooding streets (and rooftops - left), giving us wet shoes and pants for a good portion of the morning. It's really not the rain that bothers me.... it's the thunder and lightning that keeps me up til 1am and then proceeds to wake me up at 6am. And for those who know me well, you know that thunderstorms have never been my friend. The one good thing about the rainy season though is that you don't mind being inside teaching when it's a bad weather day. I hated going to work in May and June on those perfect sunny days that disappeared once you finished at 7:35pm.

On a side note, we are in the process of getting our Chinese, Mongolian, and Russian visas for our 3 month journey across those countries and Europe. We have booked our return tickets from Dublin to Toronto for Nov 26th. It's hard to imagine we'll be traveling longer than the amount of time we now have left in Korea (7 weeks - 7 weeks!!!). Craig has started a blog that will cover our journey home.
