Autumn in Korea

I lived in Hawaii my entire life, so this is the first time I get to experience the changing seasons. It's currently still mid November, but I now love autumn. I've always preferred cooler weather as Hawaii is warm all year round, and Korea's summer heat was especially brutal. Now the weather has gotten colder and it feels so refreshing in contrast. I need to check what the daily temperature is like before going out so I know how warmly to dress, instead of dreading how hot it will be. Also, the leaves are changing colors. Seoul has many good spots to see the trees, but Yonsei's campus is also a great place to see the autumn colors. Its iconic ivy-covered Underwood Hall has changed from dark green to red, and now in mid November, most of the vines have died. There are also many trees in various colors, like red and yellow, all over campus.

We also visited Nami Island again, this time in late October, in order to see the autumn leaves. The weather was still fairly warm, but a lot of the trees' leaves had turned yellow and red. This time we also rented bikes for a hour and rode around the island. It was also more crowded compared to the first time we visited and a lot of people were taking pictures under the trees.
