September and August really slipped away on me. Within these 8 or so weeks I have had to say good-bye to the hot temperatures and consistent night time aircon and hello to brilliant clear days with blue skies.
I have really enjoyed taking my morning walk to school again. Uijongbu has been alive with colour as if celebrating outdoor living. Band practice in full red band uniform or giant pink fan dances it is all very vibrant. I do have to smile listening to the band. It just doesn't seem authentic having keyboards slamming out Y.M.C.A. Perhaps I am have a traditional in my thinking.
Here are some pics of Shingok-dong. The skies had a particular blue clarity that reminded me of New Zealand.
Sue Teacher told me that the Korean's say at this time of year "The sky is high and the horse is getting fat." It certainly feels like a prosperous time of year.
Of course Chuesok - Korean thanksgiving is coming up in the beginning of October. I will post more about that soon.
