Snowy wonderland

Because this was a "work from home" week, I've been staying inside for almost the entire week to avoid the snow outside; my friend Kavita knows, but I'm in an EXTREMELY hilly area and snow has made my area quite dangerous.

But yesterday, I finally wandered outside. Some areas are still quite dangerous and slippery (and resemble skating rinks), but some of the areas have been cleared.

Near the Lotte Mart at the Seoul bullet train station (where I do my shopping), there was a large snow bank. How large, you ask? Well, this picture will tell you:

I really feel sorry for the teachers who had to teach winter camp this past week. Mine starts on Monday, so I got to skip the huge snowfall and stay home. I didn't even go outside for lunch. The snow has made me a cook, as I learned how to make several new dishes ths week. I guess there's a benefit to all of this.
