I've somewhat habitually stated how much I have hated the cold. And the snow just exacerbates the cold. And once warmed, it melts into a freezing watery mess that trails through your apartment hallways, leaving them muddy and slippery for an unsuspecting Floridian to fall on her hindquarters. Ahem.
This doozy was taken during a snow "sprinkle" in Cheonan after I finished apartment hunting on the 22nd. I was tricked into walking in the snow, and to say I was livid might be an understatement. If this had been an old-fashioned camera, I might have melted the film with this glare. But seeing as it was a digital camera.. I think I just messed with the battery life a little bit.
Anyway. Looking back, January wasn't all that bad of a month! She had her shining moments, always in the company of wonderful friends, dotted with rays of sunshine like Skypes with Mom and Sissy and Andrew. Alas, here are the adventursome highlights;
A Monday meetup with Japan's very own, Christybomb at the Hello Kitty Cafe in Seoul!
Lunch with my amazingly amazing Julie teacher on Thursday the thirteenth. How I will miss her help, and I hope she knows how much I treasured her in the classroom.
A 15th shopping trip and dinner in Myeongdong with two of my favorite Jochiwonians, Rebecca and Ruth! Sang doesn't count. He's a Seoul-villian.
Followed by an amazing bellydance party that very same night hosted by Belynda Azhaar! Me and Miss Ange!
A Wednesday outing to the US Air Base of Songtan with Suwonfolk Luke!
Viewing of the amazing stage production of Hero: The Musical about Korean hero, Ahn Jung-geun.
An ice-skating trip to Daejeon [again] with the crazy Jochiwon girls..
A visit to Gongju and Gongju fortress with miss Kaylakay.
And finally an adventure with Ben and company that started with Canadian beer and with him winning big at a casino.
In retrospect, January 2011, despite all its gloom, was a great month! Cheers to you Old Man Winter!
