The weather here has been pretty mild usually hovering around the mid to upper 50s. However, it did snow one day last week, but it was just flurries. It was amazing watching the children who seemed awe struck by the sight of the snow flakes. It left me to wonder what they would do if it really snowed here. If you ask Koreans about how much snow they actually receive in the winter be prepared to get a multitude of varying perceptions. Some Koreans claim it hardly ever snows here and others claim that there is always a lot of snow, so who knows. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Something that I find crazy here is the way they heat the buildings here. Almost all the buildings heat the floor instead of the room itself. What I found even crazier though is they way my school is heated. They only heat the classrooms and offices, meaning no heat in the halls, so if its cold outside its even colder inside. Many of the students wear their heavy coats in the classroom and then they open the windows when it gets too hot. I guess though its the Korean way of doing things, which as I have come to sometimes painfully learn, is totally different from anything remotely rational.
Well enough of my bantering in this post. I hope you enjoy the photos and I will try and post again in the near future. Until next time...
