First Snow

I don't look too happy...but I am.
Snow!

Chilling with the little cousins.


This morning I woke up to a call from the kindergarten teacher telling me to look outside. I opened my door to a view of snow falling gently on the already white covered ground. Putting out my hand, I was met by a crisp snowflake on my hand. Snow is here!


Very random, but I just remembered my shopping experience last night. Walking back from the bus terminal, I saw a rack outside filled with winter clothes and a woman standing outside in the rain selling the clothes. I decided to go and buy a North Face vest (45,000 won) and something very countryside happened. The woman selling the clothes saw I had a bag filled with groceries, so she opened it and basically told me she was going to take some of my groceries because she gave me the vest at a discount. Taking my chocolate cookies and milk, she then told me to make sure I stay warm and helped me zip up my new padded vest. First, the seller takes my cookies. Second, dresses me up. Haha, I love it.


Over the weekend, I planned on going to Seoul to do some gift shopping, but was met up an intense day of rain. Like most of my plans, my planned day was forcibly altered, so I went to a jimjilbang to take a bath and enjoy some banana milk while reading comic books. After a couple of hours there, took the subway and a bus to my grandmother’s home. Ordered pizza and chicken for my younger cousins and me to eat while watching TV together. The next day, I ate lunch (roasted duck…yummy) with my cousin who is about to end his military service, and then headed back to my town.

I have to go to school now, so peace!
