2009 12 28 Early morning snowy drive in Hannam-Dong (S. Korea)

Oh, I cannot express how much fun (insert sarcasm) this mornings drive to work was...thought the roads near my home were bad? Oh no, try the expressways....

Glad I left a bit early. On a side note, it looks absolutely gorgeous at work today. Camp Market covered in a pristine blanket of snow. I will take some video later perhaps. Photos definitely (will be up on my Facebook for family / friends)

Normally I would, as I did in Europe. I took the train and bus when I arrived here and was constantly sick (as was my supervisor). As soon as we stopped and started driving, we got well. It's crowded, rarely is there a seat available on the return trip. It takes 30 minutes longer each way than driving. If I need to stop at the base and get groceries on the way home, I can in a car.

As for the taxi, my office is in Bupyeong, I live in Hannam-Dong. That is an expensive taxi ride...each way.

How common is snow in Seoul?

[NullisSum]

I am told it is not that common. This would explain the driving skills I saw displayed...

It looks cold even on video.

[NullisSum]

Oh it is...IT IS...
