Chill

The temperature here in Jochiwon has dropped considerably over the last few days. The average temp at night is somewhere around -17...resulting in frozen pipes and frigid classrooms. I've been showering in an empty apartment in my building and pulling on five layers to make it through the day without contracting hypothermia. The students can barely sit still from the cold and are constantly standing on chairs to be closer to the vents.

I was told today that it's cold here because of all of the Canadians....

I'm almost starting to believe that we did indeed bring the cold with us.
