Snow in Seoul: A Korean Winter

It's Christmas Eve! I haven't posted in a while but I have been meaning to write about my recent solo Seoul trip, which was loads of fun. I'm still trying to get my blogging groove back so this will mostly be photos.

It was already pretty cold during my trip to Seoul and winter was obviously well on its way to freezing up the city. On my last day, while doing some last minute shopping in Myeongdong (and while listening to the "Miracles in December" album - "My Turn To Cry" is by far my favorite track!), it started to snow!

I also have a few photos of a snowed in Samcheongdong from the day prior. If you're dreaming of a White Christmas, I hope these photos help!

Happy Holidays!

Snapshots: Winter Weather, Yong Pyong Ski Resort, South Korea

The heat has been insane these past few weeks, and we're only halfway through the summer. So here's a picture depicting the complete opposite, to remind us of colder days - way too cold, actually. This was when we went to Yong Pyong Ski Resort from Seoul, which was loads of cool, snowy and icy fun. It was also my first time to experience below-zero weather! The coats, boots, and beer helped a lot.
