it finally snowed!!

I woke up to a snow-covered landscape! This is the first time I've experienced snow on this side of the world. Somehow, the purity of the snow just covers everything and transforms a dirty place into a beautiful winter wonderland! For a brief moment, I almost forgot where I was at. Snow covers it all white and clean -- even if it is just for a brief moment in time, before it turns into dirty slush (a few days later).

After class, I had a snowball fight with 2 other classmates. I also got to ride my bike in the snow for the very first time. Oh the joyous feeling of leaving tire tracks on freshly fallen snow!

Here's a picture of snow. Well, the snow here is kind of already melting, and is starting to turn a little brown...
