Warmer weather - pros and cons

The warm weather toyed with Korea for a few weeks but it looks like it's finally here to stay. This winter sucked, but summer could prove to be a challenge as well. Let's review the pros and cons of both seasons.

Winter - pros
  • No more mosquitoes!
  • Sunny weather
  • Longer vacation period

Winter - cons
  • All the spit on the ground ices up quickly
  • Never-ending snow
  • Cold wind on your skin actually HURTS
  • High heating costs
  • Dry air, dry skin, dry everything

Summer - pros
  • No heating costs
  • More daylight
  • No need to carry a heavy jacket everywhere
  • Warm enough to do more traveling
  • You can finally open the windows (not applicable at schools, where they open the windows even during blizzards)

Summer - cons
  • Killer mosquitoes
  • Spit on the ground evaporates in the heat, which means you're breathing in spit... eww...
  • If you're not coming back, it's time to expensively ship your winter clothes home or risk an overweight luggage charge on the way home
  • Shorter vacation period
  • Monsoon season
  • High humidity and heat
  • High air conditioning costs
  • Yellow dust becoming more frequent

Bah, come to the think of it... both seasons kind of suck over here.
