The weather recently has reminded me a lot of Montana, with low temperatures in the low teens, high winds, and a bit of snow. I would guess the wind chill is running near -20 F. One of the office workers said that it snowed at Jeju Island, South Korea’s “tropical” getaway. We’re supposed to leave our water running in our apartments all the time due to poor planning when they put in the water system. Last winter the main pipe froze and we were without water for several days. The extended forecast calls for temperatures to moderate next week. Because of my recent vacation to Thailand, “moderate” to me means 70-80 degrees! I’ll have to wait a few months for that.
I still haven’t gotten around to processing my Thailand photos–laziness, classes, etc. Whatever the reason, I’ll definitely work on them this weekend.
Moon-sub and Jun-suk, a couple of the high school guys, soon-to-be college students, in one of my classes, invited me to a movie yesterday. The local public library shows free movies Tuesday through Friday and we watched a Chinese movie with Korean sub-titles. Since I don’t understand either language, it was interesting to try to guess what the plot was in this martial-arts/love story. It was fun, all the same. More later.
