Rain, rain, go away...

It has been raining all day.  I wouldn't mind if it was a school day, but it is Saturday, and I really wanted to go somewhere - anywhere really.  I just wanted to really be able to get out and explore.  No such luck.  So, after talking with some friends this morning, and messing around on the computer a bit, I am contemplating a nap.  I figured that since I haven't really written much lately, I would take a few minutes to update the blog before trying to sleep off the rain.  

You see, this is the rainy season in Korea, which means that you pretty much have to take an umbrella everywhere you go, and there are at least 3 days a week that is just rains - all day.  For some people who have lived in the pacific northwest, or some other typically rainy place, this might not sound so strange. For me, however, having grown up in more arid climates where it rained maybe 3 times a month, this is a whole new experience.  I don't mind it too much, the rain cools the hot summer temperatures nicely and I am usually working when it rains anyhow.  It is only on days like this that I don't like it.  A part of me says, put your raincoat on and get outside.  Go do something, don't just lay around all day waiting for the weather to clear up.  The other part of me says,  I don't have sufficient rain gear, and there is nothing wrong with laying around watching the rain come down all day.  So, I opt for the latter.  Maybe I will make it out later, but not right now.
