Gotta love that Korean summer humidity, I remember walking outside and being drenched with sweat in under a minute, and then there was the rain. Worst weather out of any place i've ever lived. And yea, no subies either... enjoy it son.

Yeah, it's too humid there. It's probably the worst season or timing to be there right now. I would say either on April or October is the best time to make a trip over there.

favorite part of being in korea is being indoors with AC blasting.
i love how most subways are AC'ed and i walk into random buildings for AC breeze.
i wanna get one of those korean AC towers, they're freaking awesome.

other than that, street foods FTW!
