장마

It's still 장마 here so it's been raining practically every day. When the weather is nice Sophia and I are going to go to the beach. Everywhere we go here is so close to the ocean, but most of the shoreline is developed. At the center of the island is Halla Mountain, the largest peak in South Korea. You can see it from almost every spot on the island. Sophia's dad said he will take me hiking there later, although I'm not sure if I want to do the 2 hour hike to the top... :-/

Complementing the dreariness of the rainy season, I woke up with a cold this morning. Not too bad, but enough to be a pain. Maybe it was too much singing; we've been going to noraebangs practically every night. The spicy food is also starting to hurt my digestion a little, but I don't eat much so I think I'll be fine. The news said that the Korean president just signed a contract purchasing beef from countries with Mad Cow Disease, so there have been a lot of protests by the City Hall and I think there's going to be a boycott soon. I'm not much of a meat eater anyways so I don't mind avoiding beef.

Until later...
