Current temperature in the Sweat Lodge: 26�C. Haven't used the AC in a week.

It's officially over.

I turned on the A/C when I got home last night out of pure habit. Took me awhile to realize I didn't need it.

What did you guys do to the weather while I was gone?

I got back yesterday and first I had to get out some long pants and then I had to haul out a blanket before I went to bed. This weather is divine!

I love this cool weather. Summer was horrible. On Sunday I was lying in bed listening to chill music with a great breeze coming in through my window. It was heaven after the experience of this hot summer.

Summer was nonexistent before August, save for a few hot days in June. I missed most of August however. Tell me, has summer 2006 been a typical summer, or not? July was rainy, full of mosquitos and horrible in my opinion. Does it always piss down for the entirerity of July and some of June? I August always hot and sticky with little rain?

And another thing! This cool september whether is surely atypical, is it not? Last september was basically the same as August.

I enjoy sunny days because of the feelgood factor, but in Korea I think Winter destroys summer. It's mostly sunny for starters (albeit freezing as fook) and it goes mild for a couple of days after a devastatingly-cold spell - so there's some respite. Taking a walk round Gwangwamun last January when it was snowy (and sunny, and clear blue skies) with no-one there except me was one of my favorite experiences in Korea thus far.

I almost broke out the dead cowskin jacket last night. I *heart* fall in Korea.

I was walking around tonight and sweating. 26 degrees is sweat weather for me. Anything about 24 is. That's not to say it isn't a nice change. I took my laundry down to the 2nd floor cleaning service. The guy had all the windows and the door open, with a killer breeze coming through, wafting the scent of freshly cleaned laundry directly to my memory and carrying me back to those days I nostalge but never lived. Ahh, those would've been the days.

Is it cool now or is it just me?

This last year has been wrong.

Ridiculously early snowfalls, then ridiculously warm January. Then cold spells.

Then Summer had way too much rain. Rainy season should be like 2-3 weeks, not like 2 months.

Then Summer was hot for like.. 5 weeks? Now its fresh at night. Rubbish.

The best thing is that its supposed to be 28 tomorrow so I can have a nice beach day. If it flakes out on me and goes fresh I won't be impressed.

Bring on the Indian summer.

Give me more heat. If I wanted a British summer of a few weeks I woulda stayed in Britain.

BURN ME.
