My 1st Snow Experience ~ Seoul

It's always been my wish to be experience snow, regardless where it may be, and I finally got my chance in my favourite city, Seoul!

It was really a beautiful scene...when snow 1st fell onto me.

The moment it started snowing, I began to go really silly and snapped tons of pictures, with snow in them. I may never experience snow again...after all, I waited 30yrs+ to be able to experience once, so, why care about be silly? ^.^v

My beloved colleague helped me took few shots of me when snow came and I really love those shots! I looked truly joyful in those photos!

It didn't occur to me to ever make a snowball then when it had been on my wishlist like forever. Until my colleague deliberately went to a pushcart and gathered all the snow to make a snowball. Holding a snowball, one that was indeed made from snow was amazing.

The snowball felt just like a hardened piece of blended ice. I was so worried I would have crushed it if I held it too tight.

Last but not the least, we took a group photo in midst of snow (heard it was the heaviest snow throughout the entire winter in Seoul) before we ended our day.

Below are some pictures I took which I really like due to the snow effect.

Snow on the tree leaves. Its not everyday you see such scene where the trees are covered in white.

Busy streets of Gangnam. Was walking from COEX back to my hotel when I discovered this view to be pretty photogenic and decided to snap it down. It was also after-work hours already, hence for the heavy traffic.

Look at the pile of snow! I really couldn't resist shooting this! The snow was so thick.....and dirty!

So what's my thought about snow? As much as I like snow, experienced snow for the 1st time, like the snow effect, I will rather not experience it ever again. Why? Because snow did me some bad. I fell down twice because what snow brought right after the beautiful scenery wasn't good to the people afterall. I also slipped countless times prior to those falls. Snow is also very dirty after some time due to mud, petrol oil and etc. It might be pretty the moment it snow, but after witnessing how dirty it was after a night and how it affected people who need to walk among the snow, it may be a good idea not to let those dirty business affect us.

Snow...nice to see, nice to touch, but not nice to walk upon.
