Please....

excuse the interruption! But I really must pause my Tibetan posting for a moment here to...complain. (At least I'm being honest).

But, hello, this humidity is nothing short of completely ridiculous! Imagine this, dear fellow Canadians. You wake up...soggy. You have a shower and discover you are unable to dry off. You sit in front of your computer feeling not-so-bad (the fan being about 2 millimetres away from your face), until the hard work of...standing up...has the beads of sweat rolling down your belly yet again. Imagine hiking (at night of course...heaven help those who attempt such folly in the daytime), and little rivers of sweat begin coursing down your body, gathering strength and water-falling off your chin and fingertips for the duration. The temperature here in S. Korea is not that bad really, but the humidity! The sticky, oppressive, stifling humidity!!!!

I even got a drive-by picture of it for you. Here is my beloved Gyeyang Mountain:

Well, its ghost anyway. Can you see it? It's not the 2 little hills at the bottom. Oh no! It's the one that's towering above those two...hiding in a steam bath.

I've it from good sources that it will start to be more bearable starting next week. A-saaa! ("Awesome" in Korean) ;) Can't wait for autumn.
