IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING... WTF I'M SWEATING?

Oh Korea how I despise you and your terrible taste in weather. It's monsoon season which brings up a couple scenarios. It's always raining. Chances are, at some point during the day, it's going to sprinkle, rain, or pour. Every day is a gamble. I've purchased 5 umbrellas since I've been here. My point being, always carry an umbrella with you... or don't and buy a polka dot one for $3. On top of that, the humidity is unbearable at times--most times. There's something so odd about it raining and sweating like crazy at the same time. Every day when I get to school with my flushed cheeks, I take a look in the mirror (there are mirrors every where around here but that's another story) wipe my forehead and instantly begin to fan myself off. I don't get it though. On my walk to school I see women dressed from head to toe, sometimes even with a jacket, not even breaking a sweat. I'm convinced Korean women don't sweat. The guys on the other hand... There's a little boy in one of my classes named Myung Jin and every time I walk into class the sides of his head are dripping with sweat. I take a look at him and the torso of his shirt is blotchy from wiping his face every 2 minutes. In between those 2 minutes he's chugging ice water by the gallon... poor kid. I don't recall experiencing Spring here really except for watching the cherry blossoms bloom, which by the way was incredible. One day it was 20 degrees out, wearing a coat and a scarf wrapped around my face and the next day my jeans were sticking to my thighs. We're all betting September will be a happy medium but only time will tell. On a side note, I'm going to Thailand next weekend for 8 days!
