Cold uh

It’s December and it is bloody freezing! Luckily I am used to this as Scotland isn’t exactly the most tropical of places. It’s about minus -2 here at the moment. I take no joy in the cold whatsoever, I would much rather be too hot than too cold. The good thing is that even though it is cold and snowy the sky is usually blue so it’s nice change to the grey winter skies of home.

I also love the fact that when some people come over to work in SK it is the first time they have ever seen snow in real life!!

Our boss treated us to lunch the other day to welcome our new foreign teacher and also say goodbye to one of the Korean teachers.  We ate pork galbi at a traditional Korean restaurant. When you first walk in the door you have to take your shoes off (Korean custom) then you all sit on the floor around a large table with grills integrated into the table top. It’s a really interesting and tasty way to eat. There are always tons of sides and courses so most of the time there is always loads of food left.

I wish I had taken better pictures of the table but I will next time...

Me, Joy and JY being daft

About fifteen minutes into lunch the first snow of the year fell. One of the foreign teachers I work with hails from San Diego, California. Dubbed the Golden State you may be able to guess what kind weather he is used to! He has however been to Switzerland therefore experienced some form of snow but the other day was the first time he has ever seen snow falling from the sky. He was so fascinated and excited it was rather fun to watch. The little things eh!

Cameron's first snow fall experience!

The walk home that night. Luckily my mum posted me out my Dr.Marten boots so I was prepared for it!

It has been snow, snow, snow, non-stop at the moment so I imagine it will be a white Christmas this year.
