Simultaneously, 3 of my students received text messages and checked their cell phones in class tonight. One of them screamed, "It's snowing!" It's tradition to call family and friends on the first snow. They all jumped up and ran to the window.
The snow was beautiful. Enormous white flakes were falling from the sky. For a minute the city looked so peaceful. Then about ten minutes later, the snow turned to icy rain and we could hear horns honking and tires screeching. It's not exactly the sledding, snowmen and snowball fights snows that I remember. My happy memories turned into thoughts of the cold, slushy wet walk home after class and the crowded subway. Luckily, Ryan swiped someone's umbrella so we stayed dry most of our walk. Winter in Korea is a officially here.
