So, in the last couple of weeks there's been a pretty huge temperature drop here. This reached exciting new levels yesterday afternoon when it started snowing during our first lesson of the day. This caused huge excitement for my students, with me having to physically tear them away from the window and put them back in their seats. It stopped pretty quickly and started being all rainy instead, but overnight it snowed heavy and hard. We awoke this morning to incredibly bright light coming through the windows and braved the cold to open the windows and take a peek outside. The roads were pretty much snow free but everything else had a nice healthy covering, so I went for a quick walk taking some snaps in the immediate area around the apartment.
Although it is very cold here now and our school is somewhat lacking in heating (in that it has none at all - luckily some heaters are now on order so we won't have to teach in hats and gloves), I have to say it's much less depressing getting into winter here than at home. It's still sunny with blue skies and a happy lack of miserable clouds and biting winds - so far at least. If it stays like this, I'll be pretty happy. Especially as I managed to buy a new winter coat, scarf and hat for 23,000 won - about £11.50! Happy times. I'm praying for much more snow anyway. It makes me very happy!
On a thoroughly unrelated note, Becky's favourite Korean advert just came on tv. It features a nice slow motion shot of a young child running towards his mothers open arms and bouncing his head off her chest, before cutting to the product on sale... Car air bags! Ace.
