Winter in Incheon

We officially have snow on the ground in Incheon. Yesterday was the first major snowfall. My students were running down the hallways screaming in glee, only stopping long enough to grab some freshly fallen snow off the window sill and shoving this down their friends' backs. Yes, winter is truly here.

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me to capture this, but today Corey took some pictures on the way to school. It was early morning so the students weren't quite awake enough to be enjoying the snow and ice. Plus, our schools are on the top of a hill, which means that the slope is pretty much a downhill ice rink. So we had to climb the huge stone steps that lead up to Sunhwa. There's no railing, but they're still less slippery than the steep path up the hill without stairs.

I made it to the top!

It's the climb.

This evening Corey and I took advantage of some craft material my mom sent in a Chanukah package. We made beeswax candles for the menorah (also part of the package) so we're all ready for Saturday night candle lighting.
