We knew we would see some snow a couple times, but all of Mokpo was surprised to see it actually stay on the ground. It snowed close to 5cm last Friday day and night. When we woke up Saturday morning, we could not help but go for a walk and take some pictures.
Here is our little neighborhood street just outside our apartment building under snow.
It's business as usual for everyone. Guys are still making deliveries on their scooters, and they are still selling vegetables on the side of the street out of their trucks.
Saw some unusual signs that a true tells of the frequency of snow here in Korea. Check out this guys scrapping his windows!!
A couple pictures we took as well showing the scenery under snow. Must say it did look like it cleaned the place up to have it draped in white!!
We had seen this before. Looks like the dog is wearing earmuffs, but his ears are actually dyed.
This taxi cab was thinking. He threw on the chains. Saw a couple cars out there with them on. A couple levels safer than the guy riding his scooter eh?
The kids also had a blast in the snow. You can tell by the look on his face, he doesn't see this often. Actually...we've seen this look before...usually when the kids see us!!
We had time for a self portrait of course. Also a nice shot of the waterfront with the snow covered trees.
Here is more proof that you don't need to spend money to have fun. Check out the basic sled this kid is strutting. The girls are also sliding on some cardboard boxes. Good simple fun!!
Things are going great for us. We also had some friends over on Sunday for a Christmas baked good sharing party. We had some vin chaud and also spent the morning watching hockey with some friends. It's Monday now, and the snow has pretty much all disappeared. I also had a great start to my week today. I was on the phone with Drew, Denver and Frank. Our neighbours back home from Lakeview in Waterloo are all set-up on Skype and we made first contact this morning. It was great to hear Drew and Denver. Only three more weeks of school left. I am off on Holidays from Dec. 24th until March 3rd. Tough life! Post again soon.
