You may have heard we had a spot of snow. The biggest spot in SIXTY SEVEN YEARS. Which makes it sound like we got FEE AND FEET OF SNOW IN A MIGHTY BLIZZARD. It was more like, I don’t know, 10 inches? Korea doesn’t get a whole lot of snow.

Anyhow, hilarity ensues when a culture that is used to dealing with flurries gets something suited more to the East Coast. First: They don’t own any snowplows. The main roads are okay-ish because everyone is driving on them, but 2 days later the back alley is still full of snow.

Second: They don’t own snow shovels. They just get their brooms out and sweep at it.

Third: THEY USE MARBLE EVERYWHERE. SLIPPERY. I’ve fallen on my ass 4 times this week.

Still, they were decidedly non-chalant about it. I asked my co-teacher if they always get this much snow and she said “Yes, every year this much” and I wanted to call her a LIARYOULIAR. Once in a lifetime! Or once a week in any other cold climate
