We rode the train to Itaewon but it was so rainy and blowy with our umbrellas turning inside out and we got so drenched that we gave up on the idea of shopping outside. Itaewon is a shopping district, a 1.4 km long street, which supposedly has pretty cool shops but we didn't get to find out because of the lovely weather.
I have never got so wet so quick. A typhoon had just struck Korea but most of the damage was in the south of the country and Seoul was left with the relentless rain from the typhoon.
I took some footage of the deluge as we tried to cross one of the busy streets. It doesn't look that much harder than rain back home but it was the fact that it was relentless for so long and didn't let up.
Mum ended taking Oliver and Jonty back to the apartment and the rest of us went back to the big COEX shopping mall that seemed too busy to visit a few days earlier. We didn't buy anything but it was nice to browse and see the variety of things on offer that you certainly wouldn't find at home, like this HUGE camera lens.
