So it seems that while it regularly snows in Seoul, Seoul-ites (Seoulians? Seoulers? Se-oul-sa-ram?) are completely unequipped to deal with the snow. On my walk to school yesterday morning, after the first snow, the sidewalks were a skating rink and the roads were a slushy mess. This morning on my way to school, after a fresh fall overnight, I trudged through a good few inches of snow and felt my socks becoming wetter and wetter in my impractical boots. While walking down the side street to the back entrance of my school, I watched as kids from the neighboring elementary school kicked snow up from the sidewalk with such gusto that it came close to hitting me in the face. Finally, when I reached the back driveway of the school, I heard the screeching and spinning of car tire wheels because someone's all-seasons just couldn't cut it.
The short of the long of it: The lack of road salt/sand, plows or snow-tires will prove for some interesting future blogging.

Ha! We're basically matching either for blog entries. We need to stop sharing a brain...
That last comment should've been proof-read...sorry..."each other" became "either". Good lord.
Haha, you guys are hilarious!
We've got snow too, but not nearly as much as you. The ice, however, is equally treacherous - you know it HAS to be dangerous when the motorbikes slow down and take a corner with both of the rider's legs outstretched on either side for balance.
