This is what a community is like in Daejeon for the most part.  There is somewhere between 70 and 100 apartments in this cluster.  They run six long, by I don't know how many wide.  Far too many people in too little space.

Each building is marked with a number and colour/symbol so people can tell it apart from other apartments in the area. Different symbols represent different apartment groups, each of which has a different name.

This is a typical scene for the busier streets.  There are countless street venders, more so now, because of the the poor Korean economy at the moment.  You can buy anything from foods to clothes to small electronics off the street.  I actually buy all my eggs at a stand a bit further down.

Well, it's nice to see that some things don't change even if you are half way around the world.  Here it is, mid November, and Christmas decorations are already in full force in the stores.  This is the entrance way to Home-Plus, which is a block or so from my school.  I do a lot of my shopping here.

And the other big store near-by, Save Zone, also in the full Christmas spirit.  That's McDonalds on the right and Dunkin' Donuts on the left.

On the 5th, of February, the snow started around 7:30 in the morning and didn't let up until after 5 pm.  In the end, over 50 cm fell, marking the biggest snowfall in over a hundred years.  And classes were all canceled in the afternoon.  I just had to call my adults before I headed back home.

Even during the snowfall, it was close to 0, so things were constantly melting.  Noon the next day there were huge piles of snow everything and many cars sat half buried.  It was funny to see cars driving with chained tires all week long, and some people shoveling snow with dustpans and cardboard.
