입추(立秋)???

What??? I just realized that it's the first day of Autumn in Korea as the calender suggested.
Gee...it's like 33° Celsius...with the stifling heat....and I got to admit that it's. .once again...what the calender calls 입추(立秋)¿¿¿ 
From the window of my room. August 8.2015. 08~08~'15
And for the past 5 days all Seoul citizens must've received the emergency alert sms from the government:
[국민안전처]
8.8. 경기 폭염특보 지속 발령중! 가급적 야외활동 및 농사일 자제, 물놀이 안전주의 등 건강에 유의하세요
....reminding its citizens to refrain from having outdoor activities....or if they do...they should heed precautions or maintain safety alerts due to the heatwave.
*14.35. Alhamdulillah. ..it just rained a lot in.Seoul.with lightning and thunder.

Gyeongju Summer Trip (Part 1)

Finally, the day we took the train (this one is Saemaueul train) taking us to Gyeongju had arrived. We boarded the train in the morning at 9.40 that would take us to Dongdaegu station before we transfer to Mugunghwa train (a local train) taking us to Gyeongju.
It's the air-conditioned coach that lullaby-ed them to sleep. Well..it's a 3-hour trip and after tiring themselves with snacks and sight-seeing..it's time for them to 'sleep'.
As for me, what would a trip be without letting my fingers and camera do the job of capturing the blurring images of the scenery along the way.
Summer, yup...we went on a holiday summer to Gyeongju..which to my friends' surprise..they asked me as to why we went there....since that's one of the hottest place in Korea to be..during summer.
But...I did not see that coming really. So..let's just enjoy the moment..and for the time being...seeing the 'outside' world through the train window inside the air-conditioned coach somewhat 'blinded' me of what's coming ahead...^^
Even..the place underneath this KTX-railway seemed a cool thing to capture into my camera.
And..along with the vast green rice field.....the vinyl-housed farms....the mountains...all of them seemed to be so tenderly cool...in summer.
Once again...it's all because ..everything was seen and enjoyed through the windows of the train we boarded to Gyeongju.
Creeks...small paths...bushes....hilly villages...houses that looked like dots on the slopes of the mountains...
were all...once again...cool to look at even in the 'Korean' summer.
*once again..thanks to the comfort of train window that separated us from the direct 'impact' of heat in the summer.:)
