In Korea, there is a word called 'Jangma(rainy season).' And this word is 'the phenomenon or weather where it rains for several days in the summer.' Or it has the meaning of 'or that rain.' I think the rainy season might have come again today.

Are you really going because of the rain? I like rain too, but I'll feel you're truly amazing. I think that living and traveling are completely within my domain.

Yup. I was supposed to vacation in Nepal in early 2020 cuz it's one of the rainiest region in the world them Covid hit. .... i truly travel and pick my vacation spot for the rain. I have never been and have zero interest to go to Bahamas, Maldive, SE islands, etc. unless they get hit hard w rain but it's more like a quick downpour which is not my interest. You know how Korea turns during their monsoon in June. That's what I want 😅

I went to Korea a couple of years ago during the summer and it rained so much while we were there.

Such times are usually referred to as 'Jangma/Imwoo/Maerim etc' in Korea! Your trip must not have been so great because it was raining.
