Summer rain

After 7 months apart, Ian has finally made it to Korea in time for my summer holidays next week.

As the perfect introduction to the country, Seoul (considerately) decided to pour it down all day. It did alleviate the feared mugginess, however a trip up Seoul Tower for an overview of my new home will have to be postponed. Instead we headed for a meander around the National Museum of Korea. It still contained all the usual findings from the various eras in Korean history, but we managed to catch a 'summer concert' by some K-rock band under cover while it rained in the distance. It was fun.

We also went to the "The Glory of Persia" exhibition there, on until the end of August. Naturally I then proceeded to plan our next trip to (ex-)Persia. So much world to see! The exhibition was actually really good - easy to navigate, English translations, and a video with a load of Persian images.

I took Ian salsa dancing in the evening, but naturally having travelled 5000 miles in the last 24 hours, he's still a little jet-lagged. I hope the weather brightens up a little tomorrow!
