This rain is fouling up my mood. What are you folks doing to keep yourselves from going crazy on the weekends since it's been mostly this grey, dreary, junk? I keep making day or weekend trip plans and then they're shot to hell cause of this damn rain.

Ideas, please... (And watching DVDs and participating in bedroom sports are done, done, done.)

There's tonnes of stuff to do indoors.

Go to a Jimjilbang/public swimming pool/Billiards hall/bar/Movie Theatre. Or just get an umbrella and do normal outdoorsy stuff.

How about a walk in the rain, e? ^_~

Anyway, i really enjoy the rain. I am not particularly fond of the sun. ^^
Because of that, i tend to be more active. Such as playing a nice and muddy game of rugby, football, american football, or whatever strikes us at the time.

I'm really getting pissed at Korea. This year it seems that it has ONLY rained on weekends and holidays. WTF?!

It has been an exceptionally wet year. The long, usually glorious spring and fall have both been kind of sucky. What about a museum or art gallery?

I think it was just as rainy last year, it's just that the rain was CONFINED to a shorter time period. Here, every damn day is rainy.

SAW, I'm a chick. I don't do RPGs. Wink

OK, any suggestions for museums or art galleries? I've been to the major ones, now I want some more interesting ones...

I do appreciate the help folks. I think I'm turning homicidal.

I walked in the rain today with no umbrella as Koreans felt pity for me. Inside, I felt pity for them that they were dependent upon the 'brella. It's not cold yet and I lived in a rain forest for a while. I like the feeling of water all over me, I just have to quit thinking about the acid it picks up on the way down.

You could make a right mess of Jongro with one of those things.

Download movies and shows to watch on my computer. Check out what's going on in the Internet, including Daves. Sleep in late. Sit around and wish Korea had nice weekend weather like it had yesterday. I never felt so depressed in my life and the weather and climate here has a great deal to do with it. A fresh wind needs to blow all this smoky polluted air out of here and the sun needs to shine brightly.

To be honest, I can only remember about 1 weekend this year that was sunny and pleasant in Korea. Guess Korea is not as blessed as North America. The weather is so gorgeous over there right now as it usually is on any given year in September and October and you can get a breath of fresh air without irritated burning eyes.

You make bank, just go out and buy you one! At the very least you could pick up a PS2.
