Interesting Tidbit #2

There are so many cars in Daegu that the city has restricted driving. On any given day, there are 2 numbers posted outside government offices, on the news, and presumably somewhere online. Each weekday, the numbers are on a set schedule (1, 6 = Monday; 2, 7 = Tuesday...) but on the weekend days it seems random.
These numbers could, for example, be "0, 5." This means that if your car license plate ends in the number 0 or 5 you cannot drive on that day. Your car may be parked legally, or you may drive outside city limits. From what I've seen many people disobey this law and drive in the city anyway, but it is a law nonetheless.

Interesting.

Wednesday Weather Report

At 2PM today it's 92 degrees Fahrenheit (33 Celsius). Reportedly, it feels like 108 F (42 C).
Yesterday it was 96, Monday was 96, and Sunday was 94. Tomorrow will be 90, and Friday will finally be 84. That's the relief.

It's the rainy season, but all we get is stifling, humid, sweaty heat.

Now, I love hot weather, as many of you know. I do. In fact, I'm happier in this weather than I would be in the snow. People here area wishing for some cold, winter weather - not me.
