First snows.



That's a look at the Metasequoia Road in Damyang county, which saw its first snow of the season Tuesday. This gorgeous shot below is at the Chrysanthemum Festival in Hampyeong:



Gwangju got a few inches, and as my girlfriend reported she saw three car accidents during her 4 kilometer trip to school. Here's a look at Gwangju's first snow:




The second photo is on Mudeungsan. And it even snowed on Jindo. Suncheon had a few flakes last night before turning back to freezing rain. No photos of Suncheon's on the internet yet; there are some of last year's, which didn't come until December 30th.

The first snow is a special time, and if you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse, you should send them a text message when you see it. I guess if they're right there you can just say "hey," or whatever.

I just said "hey" to my wife. Thanks for the idea.

Hi Brian,

Totally off-topic--have you seen this?

You, me, and co. are cited in the article there.

Interesting, eh?

Arrg . . . I just saw the link you have below your post about KOTESOL and the critical blog comments from November 10 . . . sigh.

Ignore my query . . .

Actually I hadn't read it yet, but I noticed it turned up on my technorati.

I didn't put the link there; usually whenever people link to a post the post doing the linking will turn up below the comments. Not always, but many times.

I am glad I will be in Gwangju this weekend - I desperately need a good winter coat and boots.

By the way, will you be at the JETI meeting tomorrow?

Brian said...

Yep. I'm looking forward to a day in Gwangju rather than a day in school. I'm at the afternoon session . . . how about you? I don't think I'll be going out to the bars that night, but I wouldn't mind grabbing dinner if people are sticking around.

I'm in the afternoon session as well. Look for the short blonde carrying at least a black backpack and an olive green bag, possibly also a blue bag as well.
