Spring...Finally!

After it has been snowing only a couple of days ago, spring arrived here in Korea very surprisingly! Yesterday when I woke up and went to the language institute, everything seemed quite normal...but when I went back to the dorm from the student cafeteria after lunch I saw several beautifully blooming trees! I could swear they weren't there the day before and had to look twice to ensure that the flowers were actually real and not made from plastic! It seemed to me that some mysterious Heinzelmännchen-like creatures must have glued the flowers to the trees over night! Cherry-blossom time should be here or at least near as well and I can't wait to go cherry-blossom viewing!



And by the way, I had the most fantastic treasure-hunt-soup yesterday. I thought it only consisted of spicy red pepper sauce and cabbage but I found so many different things inside, it really was like a treasure hunt. I found dumplings, rice cakes, sausages, some kind of glass noodles and ham. Nice right :)

My treasure-hunt-soup
One of the side dishes was spicy green peppers pickled in a spicy red pepper sauce. I was really brave and ate one completely at once. For a few seconds I couldn't feel anything but then a red hot wall of spiciness hit me right in the face! I didn't eat the other one...

Who would have guessed that this is spicy?
