We had a couple of rainy days last week. Last Saturday, the rain poured heavily and it got so dark in Seoul. I like it when it rains sometimes, but not on a weekend when you’re supposed to have some fun time with your family.
When it rains, it’s a must to bring an umbrella… or else you’ll lose your hair! I learned that from my Korean friends and I should’ve known that years ago. I really hate carrying an umbrella especially a big one – like what we have here at home.
In most buildings in Korea, you’ll find this:
It’s an umbrella cover dispenser. I took the picture in Myeongdong, when I bought some body acne products. It has two dispensers: short one for foldable umbrellas and the longer one for umbrellas that can’t be folded. Too bad that they use a lot of plastic – but it gets recycled anyway. It was great a few weeks ago, when it was reported that the rain carried some radioactive materials. At least, you could avoid touching the wet umbrella ;p
i told my mom about this. tuwang tuwa sya.dapat meron din daw dito sa pinas, heheh!
nice concept! but yeah! i was thinking of the plastic trash too! if we have that in the Philippines, we’d have worse floods because of more drainage clogs!
Nice! We have those here too but most people prefer wearing hooded coats than using umbrella.
