Prime catch a cold season anyway. Primarily on account of kids bunched back into classrooms, but maybe influenced by wildly back & forth march temps, traditionally referred to as 꽃샘추위 (ggotsaemchuwee) or roughly translated, flowers fighting the winter.
Remember though, its a kid's job to get sick frequently, it builds resistance for later life. Adults shouldnt catch colds nearly as often. If you need to give your immune system a boost, I recommend red ginseng & regular saunas.
Yeongdong, where the snow fell, is my region on the Gangwondo coast. Eight inches yesterday & skating conditions on the roads but it quickly melted. Spring, almost here!
Not much sign of yellow dust yet this year. One hazy day last week. Last year, nationally, was relatively dust-free. A couple years ago it was pretty bad though, episodes just kept coming. During which its just common sense to limit your outdoor activities a bit.
But usually a pretty nice season in Korea. |
Kids and Koreans, in general, catch colds because they don't cover their chests. |
Not to mention absolutely zero ability to avoid spraying viral snot and phlegm over everyone in their vicinity when ill. When the average Korean - adult or child - becomes sick the area withing a 2 meter radius of them might as well be a petri dish. In this regard Koreanses make the Chinese look as hygienic as Howard Hughes.
Never buy uncovered donuts or cakes from places like Paris Baguette in the months of Oct, Nov and March, April unless you like that extra frosting of rhinovirus and a side order of lung cookies. |
