Summers in Korea.
Hot, stifling heat. Humidity. A constant state of wet. Tropical nights.
Cicadas (mae-mi) whirring away in trees. Children chasing after dragonflies with large nets.
Special summer treats—a Korean-style sundae called pat-ping-su (a cool, sweet concoction of red beans over shaved iced topped with fruit cocktail, jujubes, and syrup); sam-kae-tang (broiled chicken stuffed with rice and ginseng).
And it’s also the rainy season, or changma as it is called in Korean.
Looks like Pusan (Busan) had its share of changma the other day judging from this photo. (For all my friends in the Illinois Valley, now this is what I would call Water Street!)
Folks, be careful out there.
My goodness, look at all that water. Please do post more pics of Korea. Love it.
Thanks Gigi for your kind comments as always. Yes, I will post some more pics of Korea as well as Laos.
