"I'm metling" (said the building?!)

The weather was a warm 52 degrees F today. The warmest it has been since November and the buildings are thawing and melting. That’s right I said buildings. Korean buildings are concrete and marble which means that they absorb the cold. This absorption of cold and the warmer weather caused a well known phenomenon known as condensation to occur. However, it occurred on the walls, windows, doors, floors, stairs, banisters, toilets, boards, elevator and everything else not introduced to a heater in the past three months. Basically, a flooding occurred due to the amount of condensation the interior of the building was producing.
