2011 is destined to go down in the record books as the year that summer skipped Korea. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, Seoul had only 16 dry and sunny days from July 1 to yesterday, and 37 out of 53 days were wet with more than 0.1 millimeters of rain. And as everyone knows, rain is the most ruthless killer of summer holidays. Chang Hye-min, 26, was looking forward to her first summer break from her first job, which she planned for the first week of August. Chang and her friends booked trips to a beach on the west coast, but ended up staying home because of the rain. “When I saw the rain outside, the thought of spending my vacation in the mountains was scary, and the beaches were freezing, so there was nowhere to go,” she said. “I couldn’t change my vacation schedule at work so I ended up staying home.” The same went for Lee Kang-su, 52, a resident of Yongin, Gyeonggi, who planned to do some camping this summer and even bought a lot of new equipment. The torrential rains, followed by Typhoon Muifa, scotched that plan. Lee wanted to use the brand-new equipment, so he decided to camp out in the front yard of his house. But then his yard flooded. “Eighty percent of tourism packages to the south coast or Geoje Island, which are popular every July, were cancelled,” said Lee Jeong-ho, president of Parangsae Tour. “Our phones were ringing off the hook with customers wanting to cancel.” “We had reservations for 1,300 tourists in late July and the first week of August,” said an owner of a whitewater rafting business in Gangwon. “All of them cancelled.” With vacationing in Korea a nonoption, many people flew abroad, resulting in a record 3.9 million international travelers in July. “I was planning to go somewhere in the country, but when the weather got bad I scrambled to find something else,” said Jeon So-yeon, 29. “I ended up going to Bangkok for six days.” By Lee Ji-sang [christine.kim@joongang.co.kr] ÇÑ±Û °ü·Ã ±â»ç [Áß¾ÓÀϺ¸] ºñ … ºñ … ºñ … µµµÏ¸ÂÀº ¿©¸§ ÈÞ°¡ 7¿ù ÀÌÈÄ ºñ ¾È ¿Â ³¯ 16ÀÏ ºÒ°ú ±¹³» ÈÞ¾çÁö ¿¹¾à Ãë¼Ò ÁÙ À̾î ÇØ¿Ü·Î ¹ß±æ … Ãâ±¹ÀÚ »ç»ó ÃÖ´ë #°æ±âµµ ¿ëÀο¡ »ç´Â À̰¼ö(52)¾¾´Â ¿Ã¿©¸§ ÈÞ°¡ ¶§ Áý ¾Õ¿¡¼ Ä·ÇÎÀ» Çß´Ù.
