Hardy Walkers Making Their Way Up A Winter Wonderland, Mudeung-san near Gwangju
Are these brave or reckless souls? Don't know whether to envy them or shake my head in perplexity as they prefer to contend with the frigid temperatures instead of staying indoors and enjoying the comforts of an ondol.
Back in the city and highways, drivers can look forward to fewer traffic snarls induced by snowstorms in the near future as geo-thermal technology will be used to prevent snow from building up on roads. The Korea Expressway Corporation plans to install pipes 5 cm below the surface of roads which will have heated water coursing through them.
Sounds very much like the ondol system! What will they think of next???
