Winter in Korea

For the past two months, we have worn scarves, ear muffs, gloves, hats, heavy coats, long underwear, tights, long socks and occasionally face masks when we have left the apartment. I'm not sure if it's because it's colder here than St. Louis or if it's because we have to spend so much more time outside walking. In the U.S. we can pull up our car next to the door or into the garage and spend minimal time outside. Here, we have to walk everywhere. I can't wait for spring.

Additionally, I used to mistakingly consider shorts and mini skirts as seasonal attire. Apparently, I am wrong as Korean girls continue to wear shorts and mini skirts with tights and boots, even as the temperatures creep towards negative digits. My error.
