"'Gainst my window, I cant stand the Rain!"

Just when you think the weather might be getting better, Seoul slaps you in the face with some rain for a few days. Today is no different. After a few days of temperatures in the 60s, we get a dark and dreary day with rain coming down all day. It's all good though, in a couple hours I'll be heading out to Gimpo Airport to pick my sister up. She'll be chillin in Seoul with me and other relatives for about a week. It conveniently worked out that the room right next door to mine is vacant so the 하숙집 lady said it'd be alright for her to stay there for a week. So I'll be showing her what I've been up to the past few months, if anyone has any pointers for what's a can't-miss for a visitor while in Seoul, hit me up!


(here's the view outside of my place on this rainy Saturday)


Among other things, there's also AKARAKA coming up! Akaraka is a yearly held concert organized by Yonsei University for the students to attend. The event attracts the biggest names on the Korean music scene, so all those songs I've been hearing in restaurants, shops, bars, clubs, etc. will most likely be performed on that day. It's a fun event where all the students wear blue t-shirts and all the students raucously chant Yonsei's various school anthems. The concert is only 1 day but the festivities last for 2 or 3 days. I'm not positive but I think it's in about 2 weeks, so I'll definitely be looking forward to posting after that!

For those of you interested in keeping up with the hilariously poppy and ever changing handful of songs that the entire city of Seoul has on repeat, here's a couple...

Sorry, Sorry - Super Junior (about half of Seoul is trying to perfect this dance)
Lollipop - Big Bang (the most popular group right now)
