Saturday 27th January

Happy Australia Day for yesterday!

I can honestly say it is not fun having to go to work on Australia Day! Although we did make the staff come decked out in Green and Gold, it somehow doesn't feel right celebrating the day in - 2 degree weather. The only good thing is that Korea turned on it's finest for us and we had a lovely snowfall. There is something secure in sitting in an apartment watching the snow fall. However, we were planning a BBQ on the roof of our building tomorrow - looks like it will and indoors one.

As you can see I have started a this blog. I figured it was an easier way to keep you all updated on our life here. I will try to update it regularly with and bits and pieces of our life here.

The photo I have attached is one taken of us when Mum came for a visit - we look happy but it was - 15 degrees that day, yes 15 degrees below 0! I didn't know it was possible to feel that cold.

Mum arrived on 27th December. It was so nice to have her visit. The downside was that she came in the coldest time of the year. We saw all the sights through snow and 6 layers of clothes. It was still great to have her here. Now I am working on Dad to come for a visit.

We are all getting used to the cold and it suprises us that we think it is warm when the themometer goes over 0!. All of us that is except Claudia - she is not a fan of the cold. As you can see in the photo below.

Emily on the other hand loves it and can't get enough of it - especially if it means she can go sledding!

Well I think I should wrap it up for today. I will keep playing with this blog thing and try to work out how to make it look a little more professional.

* Just one last shot to show you how cold it is here.

You know it is cold when the birds walk on the water because they can't swim in it!
