The Rain in Seoul...



Weaver Adventure Blog Post for July 2013

The Wet Season!

So it is the rainy time of year here in Seoul.  And I mean rainy.  This part of Korea has a fairly predictable wet season.  I’m told it starts mid-June and ends mid-July.  I have my doubts...









I have also been told that the season has become less predictable in the past few years.  I don’t know, but at this point, I think it’s going to rain forever.   

And the Han River is as high as I have seen it.  I’m expecting a flood soon.  And apparently I’m not the only one.  Check out this building with an Ark built on top.  Serious business. 
 
 









Speaking of buildings, one of the neat things about Seoul is the sculpture that is scattered everywhere.  I’m told there is a city ordinance that requires all builders to include some public space in front of the building with some type of sculpture in it.  This makes the city a kind of huge art museum.  There doesn’t seem to be any criteria for this art.  Some are humorous, some are bizarre, some are patriotic, and some are just shapes.  I found one nearby that allowed me to “collaborate” with the artist.  I’ve gathered some examples to share with you, and there are hundreds or thousands more for the Googling.  Enjoy!

Until next time.
