First Day of Snow in Korea

Mary statue outside Juko Catholic Church

Today I went to mass at 10am because it was the feast of the Immaculate Conception. It dawned upon me that it was just a daily mass when they didn't do the second reading. It was beautiful mass though. I might come more often...Love the sound of the organ.










At around 1pm, I got ready for school and when I stepped outside, I realized it was snowing!!! On my way to the bus stop, I saw people taking pictures and were happy to see the first snow of the season. I've seen snow before in New York (it was a blizzard actually) but there's some thing about snow that makes it so exciting.

Oksan Elementary School covered with snow.

can you just feel the joy?? haha

After my first class, my co-teacher and I decided to go outside to take pictures of the snow. When we got to the playground, all the students were outside playing with the snow. One of the teachers told us that all students will be going home early today due to the snow. Yay for us!! I ended up desk warming for the rest of the day and left early.
