Waiting for a Typhoon

July is supposed to be rainy season in Korea. So far there was more rain in June. When B informed me there was to be a  typhoon on the weekend I was pretty excited. Saturday dawned hot and sticky as usual but with a wicked warm wind kicking up some pretty impressive waves. The beaches were jammed with swimmers. The lifeguards had their hands full keeping everybody in the shallow. 

My Saturday night was dedicated to typhoon watching down on the beach. Sadly it came to naught when it rained for a grand total of 5 minutes. Hope was restored on Sunday when we were assured the typhoon would arrive at 4 pm. But again we were thwarted! The lifeguards herded everybody out of the water and all we got was a mere sprinkling. 

I still have hope though maybe next week!



The crowds on Haeundae were out of control! All there to revel in the pre-typhoon waves.
