Flooding in Seoul

Ten Korean university students died this week when a landslide caused by floods wiped out the country house they were sleeping in (also known as a pension) near Seoul.

Korea has a monsoon season every year in the summer time.  This year's monsoon season started relatively early, and it has been continuing now for approximately 6 weeks.  That is a lot of rain for just one season. 
(Jimmy Choo x Hunter rain boots...excessive, no?)

Last night it rained extremely heavily in Seoul, and today the streets are flooding. Some bus routes have been closed.  A substantial number of houses and buildings have been damaged by excess water.  The rain will not stop till Friday, which will make transport incredibly difficult to use.  Be careful ! 조심하세요 !!
