I have to chuckle about people (usually canadians) complaining about rain, heat and mosquitos. Korea is pretty tame in all these areas, compared to most of the rest of Asia.

I'm allergic to mosquitoes, so I have a quite valid reason to loathe them. And the fact that they can survive past their "season" -- I saw a mosquito on the subway one December, and another in my office last January -- makes them tougher, in my opinion, than Canadian mosquitoes.

C'mon, Canucks; don't so damned patriotic that you start bragging about your mosquitoes. That's lame.

I think mosquitos in Korea survive in the warm spots they can find within the air systems of apartment buildings, in subway systems etc.

I add something about this to every mosquito thread: you don't know blood sucking insects until you plant trees in northern Ontario.

There's nothing patriotic about it. Any Canadian who grew up in the proximity of trees knows that they aren't worse here. I imagine anyone from michigan or Vermont or .... also knows this.

I don't want real cold though. The heat's fine with me. I'd like to move to Thailand to escape these colourless Kyonggiseoul chilly winters.

You may have a point there. You only hear Korean mosquitos once they've already drained you of blood. Canadian mosquitos are as subtle as an elephant in a glassware shop.
