Kang Mi Hee: “I wear three sweaters at once”

I am 31 and I study here the Russian language. I came here in March and I almost died from the cold. But, as they explained to me, it was spring and the warm! At that moment I was afraid to just imagine what's going on here in winter. I like summer in here much more, it is so hot and dry, which never happens in Korea. I was particularly pleased with the Children of Asia Games, where a lot of my fellow countrymen came. For a few days I seemed to come home. In the summer we often went to different parts of the country: Khanalas, Namtsy. In winter, life seems to freeze. Now it is very difficult, one won’t put his nose out once again. I have to go back to Korea in mid-December, so I haven’t bought myself any warm clothes, fur coat, or Unty. Only sweaters help to keep myself warm, sometimes I wear three sweaters at once. But all this inconveniences fade in comparison with unique beauty of winter. If it was not cold, you could infinitely stand outside and admire the white streets. I hope soon to get back here again, and I would like to do this in summer.
