Today was the first day that the weather didn’t make us look like we fell into a swimming pool by the time we got to school. We normally face one of two realities in the morning: 1) sauna-like conditions that leave us soggy with sweat and smelling like week-old ham or 2) horizontal rain against which our umbrellas valiantly fail to provide any protection. Today there was no rain. It was sunny, but I didn’t sweat. At lunch time there was a hint of coolness in the air. After work it was actually even more pleasant. For the first time since June 11th, I was not covered in a layer of sweat all day long. This is a severely under-appreciated experience in the glorious dry Colorado air back home.
A further weather note: Helga, I noticed that it was 27.3 degrees C at the pizza shop on Daecheon Beach on Sunday afternoon. It felt hotter.
I was almost too preoccupied to notice however, as a new inconvenience has come to demand much of my attention in the last few days. My handler says that I’m not allowed to talk about it, but here is a picture of one of the items I picked up at lunch on the daily coffee run:
Korean pharmacies are great.
It’d really be great if they can counteract all the rice gluten. Either way, there’ll be a lot of cabbage on the menu for the foreseeable future.
