61 days and counting.

Morning commute

Monday evening brought the first significant snowfall to Seoul. My shoes left fresh tracks on the Tuesday morning walk to and from the subway. By noon, most of the sidewalks had shoveled paths, cleared by business owners, Good Samaritans, or soldiers. In the days following a snowfall, the process of managing the snow and ice begins. Salt melts the snow on the roads, turning it into grimy slush. Snow piles grow as more moves around, turning to large mounds of ice. People slip and slide as they try to make their way around their daily routine. I find it tough to manage in tennis shoes, I can only wonder how the girls manage in their fancy high heels.
