The weater outside is frightful

So, I figured by the first week of March or so, the weather wouldn't be so wintery here. Of course, that ended up NOT being true. Many of the teachers at my school are Canadian and are very dissappointed to learn that their sometimes intensely cold homes are enjoying t-shirt weather while we are being snowed and sleeted upon.

Two mornings ago, I awoke to snow-covered roof tops, thick clouds of smoke rising from the Daewoo factory smokestacks, and a biting cold outside my window. I ended up splitting a five minute cab ride with two other girls for the journey to school.

Most people don't have yards here, but many do have rooves where they hang laundry, and sometimes grow plants or smoke cigarrettes. By the end of the day, the snowless rooftops gave the illusion that the snow had melted, but it was really just because everyone had shoveled them!

Another cold day today, but at least the sun is out!!
