Winter and spring are warring over the month of February, so every day is a surprise. One day it’s nice enough for a sweatshirt and outdoor dodgeball, and the next morning I’ll wake up to ice and a blizzard and spend the afternoon making snowmen. It’s confusing, and impossible to be organized and lay out what I’m gong to wear the night before. Well… let’s be real, I never do that because I’m never that organized. BUT it’s still annoying! The nicer days remind me of the bliss of spring and keep me on my toes for when it will reallllly be here full swing. I won’t survive winter much longer.

Since it’s NOT real spring quite yet, we took advantage of last week’s blizzards by heading out to Yong-Pyong, a giant ski resort outside Seoul. After living in Utah for 5 years, I didn’t have high expectations for what we were going to get out of Korean snowboarding. However, I was very pleased and surprised. There were about a millllion lifts and different runs, and they were actually good quality too. From the top it looked just like Park City, which was weird (because they’re like 6000 miles apart). Since it had snowed so much throughout the week we had good powder the entire time, PLUS it stayed sunny all weekend. It was pretty much the most ideal snowboarding conditions ever, and we found it here in KOREA.

Throughout the week we just make up random excuses to go out and have fun, including various venues such as Miller Time, virtual golf, and noraebang. Usually kai bai bo (rock paper scissors) thrown in with anything else can be pretty exciting. Tonight we’re all off to Seoul to start the weekend off with a bang. Nothing like an all nighter to prepare you for the rest of the weekend…
