Spring is here!

I know its been awhile since I've posted but I have been really busy and distracted without much time to ponder my life here. This quick blurb is just to tell you all that I will be updating very soon with , hopefully, some interesting content.

In the mean time, spring is here and the weather is getting much warmer. It is also starting to rain. Rain here is very different from back home, and while its not monsoon season yet, it already rains way too much for my liking. In Toronto it rains for a few hours at a time, here it rains for an entire day and night before clearing up. All this rain bring hazards that I have never had to deal with before...

Like the umbrella war! Everyone in Seoul has an umbrella out when it rains, that coupled with the amount of people on the streets, makes it a dangerous game for an uninitiated like me. Walking to work yesterday, I was dodging flying umbrellas and trying to keep mine from crashing into others. Im surprized there are not tons of one-eyed or blind people stumbling around from getting their eyes poked out from stray umbrellas.

Anyways, more to come very soon!
