Osaka Snow Day

Once or twice a year it snows in Osaka. It is not an anomaly per se, but it is rare. Usually it doesn`t stick either. But today there is snow. Lots of snow. Big flat flakes, some as big as a an inch across, falling so think that we can barley see the buildings in our neighbourhood. The view out side our window is just white and i love it. Reminds me of home where, as i understand, they are almost buried under the white stuff. =)




I feel especially bad for these guys (below), working away despite the weather. Because snow and frozen ground are rare in Osaka city, construction tends to keep going all year round. Doesn`t mean it`s not COLD!!


Ulala has decided this snow means she can stay in her pajamas all day and watch TV (how this is different from other days, i`m not sure). It`s been 17 days since we got back to Osaka and she`s still only half-unpacked her suitcase! Sheesh. Thankfully she starts work next week. I will miss spending so much time with her but i think it`s good she gets out of the house and DOES something with her day. Me, i have more interviews this coming week and am waiting patiently to hear about the small school job that i really want.

Now i`m of into the snow to do some grocery shopping. We`re having guests for dinner tonight and we`re making one of my favorites: Kimchi Nabe!


Addition: I took these on our walk to the grocery store. Reminded me of Toronto, all slushy and slippery.
