Rainy Day favorites

A Rainy day special in Korea. The rain wasn't has heavy as it could have been but it was still uncomfortable.

In Korea its known as the fox rain because its hard to gauge whether or not we need an umbrella.

I made my way out to work at 1:02. I had to walk to the subway Geumryeonsan stop 210 and it took me only 7 minutes to get there. The rain wasn't so bad. After transferring at Suyeong and getting off at Yeonsan dong I tried to take a bus but to no avail.

The bus wouldn't come so after waiting 3 minutes in the rain, I ran down the street. Unfortunately, it was 1:30 when I got to Yeon-san so I was a little pressed for time. I needed to teach at 2. I only teach 4 schools a day but still the school is unorganized, maybe because of the rain. The teacher doesn't prepare any material nor does she give me the books and materials I need in order to teach the class, it makes the class time of 50 minutes confusing and uncertain.


A rainy day favorite of mine is having no kids show up...Less is the best for me simply because I can relax more. I don't particular like large crowds especially if they are squawking students.

In the morning, I had some hot chocolate because I could sense the heavy rain outside my house. For the last few days the wind has been howling and its been unpleasant. Most people stay inside their homes and just watch TV or read a book. Kids come to school and are too full of energy but at least they come a little late so it helps.

In Korea many people eat spicy food. For me it doesn't make sense to add a lot of hot peppers and whatnot because the food losses its taste. I can't stand spicy food like this, there simply is no flavor. Thats why I don't care for the molten lava gochu jang crop pot for ddok boki or dakbokum (spicy chicken mix) that is steamed. MY wife made it today.
Her favorite food is this but she doesn't cook it much since I don't like it. I ate it and it was tasty because my wife doesn't overload the paste with spices. I think we are going to open a restaurant someday so the more we can practice cooking the better. Most of the time Koreans have fried food and Soju on a rainy day.


Looking back in America I used to have hot chocolate, and cookies. I would enjoy a movie and make it a homestay for the day.

I am hoping that if it rains everyone can enjoy their favorite and take a breather from the day to day lifestyle of Korea: GO GO GO instead they can stay stay stay.

here is just another fact of Korea.
