Another month, another round of interesting Korea related links. July was a weird month that started fairly cool, then went through a week of weird showers, and now it's just plain hot and humid and disgusting. I'm leaving my A/C on all night long and I don't care what it costs. I will pay any price. Whatever it takes to not spend 6 hours laying sleepless on my sweaty sheets. 안본 눈 삽니다.
Stay inside and spend the hot afternoon reading these cool links. See you next month.
