In Korea, we have rainfall season every year on the beginning of July or little later July. It just stays for couple weeks. After rainfall, people start to go to their summer vacation to everywhere in Korea. Korea is a peninsular country so that we have three sides of ocean and a lot of beautiful mountains.
In my girlhood, I was little romantic -well, I think I'm still romantic-. At home, I remember that there were my maid and my younger sisters every rainfall season. My mom was a teacher so was my father. So, we had a maid to take care of us. I don't know why I was so grumpy with her all the time. Every time, when it rained, I went out with a small umbrella and I stepped on every small water halls around our residency community. Of course, all my body got soaked and wet. Nevertheless, I was happy doing that. Then, came home and made house dirty with all water. My maid was mad and yelling at me "Soyeon, cut it out� because she had to clean up the house. I liked to make her mad at me. But, I loved doing that. I never got sick from doing that. I was just happy.. Water.. Rain.. Hanging out in raining, although nobody was outside on rainy days.
I often told my friend in Korea, I want to have a coffee and just watch raining with a great music on a rainy day when I grew up enough. That's how I wanted to enjoy rainy days. In rainfall season in Korea, it really rains a lot. really a lot. Sometimes, you can't see anything. One day, I was in my office at work, (it was raining..) one of my junior designer said to me, "let's go have some drinks and Korean style seafood pancake after work, it's raining".. I was looking at her.."What?" and asked her. "Do you usually drink and have seafood pancake on rainy days..?" She said.. "oh no.. That’s the way how to enjoy rainy days, don't you know that?". Yeah, I didn't know that.. She broke my romantic feelings. Get drunk on rainy days.. Hum.. me.. I want to have a hot coffee and listen to a great music and watch raining..
I miss heavy raining now not like Buffalo raining.... and drink a hot coffee with listening a great music......
