 |
|
I am going snowboarding for the first time on Saturday and wanted some help. Do most Korean Ski resorts rent clothing for the weekend as well as boots? I am pretty tall (195am) and have stupidly big feet (US 14) and dont really want to get there to find I can't go!!!
I should of drank less milk when I was a kid!! |

| Yeah, wherever you go there will most likely be tons of places to rent all that stuff. I just went last week and there were scores of shops all in a row. But about your footsize; sorry, I can't give any advice. It might be difficult so perhaps call ahead. |

Characteristics of Frogs=
two bulging eyes
strong, long, webbed hind feet that are adapted for leaping and swimming
smooth or slimy skin (generally, frogs tend to like moister environments)
Frogs tend to lay eggs in clusters.
Characteristics of Toads=
stubby bodies with short hind legs (for walking instead of hopping)
warty and dry skin (usually preferring dryer climates)
paratoid (or poison) glands behind the eyes
The chest cartilage of toads is different also.
Toads tend to lay eggs in long chains. (There are some toads (genera Nectophrynoides), however, that are the only types of anurans to bear live young!)
However, it is important to note that all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads. An important distinction I think. |

| I went to Jizan (spelling) about 30 minutes outside of Icheon. A small place and really crowded, but fun all the same. |
