Winter in Olympic Park

Seoul's pace flagged last night--blanketed by the season's first heavy snowfall.

It inspired jubulation. The streets twinkled with pin-prick flashes and happy faces kimching it for the camera/phone/tv/game-system. A fusillade of snowballs streamed through the air.

Then, almost at once, people seemed to realize that it was freezing!

But more importantly, they realized the subway was shut down early because of the weekend, and there weren't enough taxis to go around.
