A footage I recorded on the way to the school cafeteria in Korean National University of Arts.

It rained like crazy in Seoul for three days. Rain is rarely pleasant except for some special occasions such as when you are sitting inside a roadside cafe watching the rain fall and enjoying your tea, or when you are sitting in a house with all the windows open and feeling the breezes that come with the rain, without having to worry about getting wet or anything. In fact, however, more often than not, rain gives me more trouble than pleasure, because I have to carry an umbrella, and I have to deal with the wet tennis shoes and socks, and it's usually so humid, and there is water on the floor everywhere you go.

But at the same time, there is no way we can get rid of rain and with a little exageration added, we exist because of the rain. If the rain did not exist it would mean that there is no air, and no air means no life. But the problem is that we do not see life in such a scientific and macro-scopic point of view and we are often just happy to keep our shoes dry.

The cafeteria at KNUA is pretty good - both price-wise and taste-wise. I am surprised to see there are so few students eating there everyday, because I've seen a lot of students working on group projects in the campus and I thought the food was quite good and the price reasonable - only 1,800 won(only ₤1 in GBP!).
