Comments on: Lunar New Year Traffic in Korea http://rokdrop.com/2009/01/24/lunar-new-year-traffic-in-korea/ Korea From North to South Sat, 26 May 2012 06:34:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kalani http://rokdrop.com/2009/01/24/lunar-new-year-traffic-in-korea/comment-page-1/#comment-273579 Kalani Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:47:38 +0000 http://rokdrop.com/?p=10858#comment-273579 Thanks. Caught the bus to Incheon bus terminal in the middle of the snow storm on Sunday. Snow was piling up making things miserable, but up there in Incheon there was very little snow. Being dressed in a snow suit with rubber snow shoes, I looked like a hick in the subway station. Spent Solnal with the brother-in-law in Incheon. Went up Sunday and came back on Monday to Anjung -- to eat again (of course) at the sister-in-law's parents house -- where the 4-lane roads were reduced to two lanes because the snow still hadn't melted. Walked around the neighborhood with my nephew and got some real nice winter shots of the rice fields. Then got back to Songtan and the snow hadn't melted here either. We took the backroads back after the main arteries of Seoul were clogged heading south -- along with the secondary roads. Saw cars backed up on overpasses in both directions. The slushy roads after you got past Baran made driving bad because you had to constantly wash the windshield to see. Thanks.

BUT got a call that the snow just got WORSE and all my daughter's friends said DON'T COME!!! The weather forecast said it was going to slacken -- well, it didn't. Traffic which normally inches along during the holiday traffic is now stalled in places. Gotta figure out where to go tomorrow. Anyone got any suggestions for areas near to Songtan or in the Kyonggi area?
