It's nothing but a little monsoon rain...

Monsoon rain sounds so exotic. We are entering the rainy season here and although the grey weekend forced us to change our beach camping plans, we found some fun in the rain at home instead.
Starting Friday night we went out for out for our new, monthly teacher dinner... from now on referred to as Fourth Friday. Almost all of the Korean teachers came out and we had a great time with incredible food.

After some rounds of beer, soju and makeoli (the Korean trinity) and in East meets West fashion we played a card game called B.S. (Bologna Sandwich or another choice phrase that I must omit for the sensitive readers). We made it out to one more bar and that's when the monsoons struck again. We decided to make a romantic frolic out of the situation and Coco, Joe, Kent and I had a fun walk in the rain all the way home. 

By Sunday, the flood waters in our beloved Oncheoncheon Stream had totally taken over the walking paths and ajumma (older Korean, married woman) workout stations. The rain hasn't stopped yet so we'll just crack open the ice cream, watch some movies and call it a day.
