I forgot to mention that this last week I learned a new word in Korean that I thought was interesting. Technically, you could translate it to "cold snap", or when winter briefly returns during spring (aka it gets cold waaaaah!). Anyway, the Korean word is:
꽃샘취이 (If I remember right) Which literally translates as "flower jealousy cold". They say that it means that the winter is jealous of spring, so it comes back for a last hoorah.
Anyway, I thought that was an interesting bit of language, and through it we can get a peep at the way Koreans think of things.
