Finally...Proof of Winter

This was the scene outside my window last night. The snow was falling softly on the rooftops...so serene. And looking up, I couldn't even see my school from my window, the snow was getting so heavy.

But this morning was bright and the colours popped along our street on our walk to school.

I couldn't help but giggle at this 7-11 employee. I guess they don't get enough snow in Korea to warrant buying shovels, so they use brooms or pieces of cardboard to clear the steps. Oh, and yes, this is the actual size of ALL brooms in Korea. We aren't sure why they don't have ADULT sized brooms....they all seem to be made for pygmies. Strange little country.

Our local park. I have no idea what those signs say. You may be able to see the steel workout equipment that adorns all the public parks in Korea. Free workouts anytime of year...what a place!

Same park, different view. Check out all our snow!

And there's Matt: a Texan in the snow (for the first time? I don't know). Poor guy: I thought he was going to freeze to death.

As mentioned to some of you, the heater at school broke today and I only had one class to teach. This is relevant because when I'm teaching, I'm in a warm (heated) classroom and I'm doing my best to entertain the kids, keeping even warmer. But today, I sat in the office, coat, scarf, hat AND gloves on, doing pretty much nothing all day. Sigh. Only a few more days until vacay starts...and only 11 more until The Big Thai. CAN'T wait!
