Today we got a nice surprise - a snow day in Busan! School was canceled this Valentine's Day so we enjoyed a three-day weekend. It's snowed a few times this winter but nothing ever sticks because the temperature is usually pretty mild. Anyway, Bob and I stayed in and watched a movie and then went out for a romantic Quiznos dinner. : )
Our Korean friend Mr. Kang warned us that when it snows even a little bit in Busan, the traffic comes to a standstill and most schools shut down. He wasn't kidding! It only snowed 2 or 3 inches, but there are no snow plows in the city because they rarely ever have snow. There are no snow shovels either - we saw most people clearing their sidewalks with brooms or two-by-fours. This is so different from Nebraska, where it takes 6 or 8 inches for us to really take notice!
