Wake me up...when the winter ends


Well, it's March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, and a very cold day indeed. Spring is supposed to start in 3 days, and it snowed again last week. They know nothing about St. Patrick's Day in Korea, and the best attempt I made for the holiday was painting my nails green. I entertained the thought of drinking green soju tonight, but I have to go to my dance class at 9:00; though, drinking green soju would make the "Single Ladies" dance by Beyonce a bit less hellish for me....hmmm.


I figured that before winter ends, whenever that is, that I should put up some pictures of my first time living on my own in the snow. I've managed to adapt, but I haven't mastered how to look cute like the Korean women do, when it's freezing out. I bought an over-sized, but very warm, man's coat from HomePlus for 20,000 won, and I wear about 3-5 layers of clothing under the coat, which makes me look pretty frumpy. But at least I'm warm! I can't imagine that the office girls that are walking around in mini-skirts with only one pair of tights underneath and high heels, for crying out loud, are very warm at all.

Without further ado, here are the pictures of the beautiful snow before it got all muddy and melted and unpleasant.



This is at Jung-Ang park in Bucheon. Lee and I went here with the silly intention of playing badminton, and then I convinced him to go to Rhythm and Booze for chicken tacos. He never had a taco before! Much better idea.

sNOw God
The snow in Korea is like salt or sand
Unfit for making angels and men
Where's a Snow God when you need one?
