My Love/Hate Relationship with Seoul
Well, I can officially say I have been here long enough to see the turn of seasons. It is once again hot in Korea, around 75 degrees these days. The subway makes me sweat automatically when I get on the train, and my school building gets hotter the higher you go up in the building. It's not only hot but humid. At my hip-hop center the studio fogs up so much you can't see yourself in the mirror and no one can see in. Mosquitos are once again magically appearing in my apartment, and I end up killing 3 a day or so.
Summer is also the time when I realize how increadibly dirty Seoul is. I read somewhere that it's the second dirtiest city in the world (next to Mexico City) and I would belive it. When I blow my nose, it's black. Sick.
Anyway despite all the griping I do about it I really do love this city. It is the first time I have lived in a big city, and I am thinking I would like to do it again. I love how everyone is busy and looks important. I like how things are open late. I like the lights and the sounds of traffic in the morning waking up. It's not bad at all :)
So that's my love/hate realtionship with this city.
