Lunar New Year Once More
The Lunar New Year holiday is upon us once more. This year, it falls on Jan 26 on the Gregorian calendar. This is the fourth one to pass since I started this blog. I wrote a brief post about the holiday in 2006, another short one in 2007, and made three posts (one, two and three) about it last year. I notice in '07 post that I mentioned which book I was reading at the time. I always carry a book with me when I visit my in-laws' house for the major holidays. It would be interesting to keep a record of it for posterity. I like to look back on little things like that. This year, it's Bulfinch's Mythology

This year, we've somewhat delayed the trip to Choongju. We had intended to leave late last (Saturday) night or early this morning. But Seoul got a good dusting of snow yesterday, so we figured it would be better to wait until this afternoon in order to avoid the worst part of the icy conditions. Looks like that was a good choice. According to traffic reports, a lot of people didn't care about the ice and left Seoul early yesterday. The traffic is currently quite light. After lunch, we'll be heading out. My fingers are crossed that traffic remains light.
