Today began like any other day; I got up as usual for school, had a shower and was deciding on what to wear. In the background I could hear the wind howling, it sounded belligerent and very scary as though it was ready to uproot trees and blow away roof tops. I was not sure about my outfit choice so I decided to peep outside to see if the weather truly permitted...
When I opened my window I was greeted by a blanket of snow. It was the most beautiful sight ever =) I forgot about how cold it was and just enjoyed the beauty of it because this was my snowfall experience. I come from a city in South Africa that is hot throughout the year so this was definately something to take note of. A few minutes later my co-teacher called to say that she will be a bit late to fetch me so I should stay in my apartment and she will call when she is close by; all the while I was praying for school to be cancelled for the the day^^
I had a quick breakfast and decided to update Facebook and Twitter and share the exciting news. Then my phone rang again...My co-teacher called to say that the principal had given us the day off because of the snow... Even though I had gotten up early, got dressed, set my hair and put on make-up it somehow didn't feel like a complete waste. I was too thrilled about the snow to think about anything else.
Around mid-day I decided to take a walk outside and take pictures of the snow. It was absolutely breath taking =)
It's days like these that make me love Korea even more!
