Snowstorm .....Soupfest.....South Korea

A funny thing happened on my way to the annual Soupfest fundraiser .  I had been dropped off at the back of the building ,  and now found myself   standing on one side of a huge snowbank ,wondering how to navigate it. As I stood pondering my dilemma, I was approached by a  young woman , who in very broken English , pointed to a car, with several passengers in it , and said to me, "where park, please ". The snow was falling heavily, and I knew that probably the only parking lot available ,would involve a long convoluted detour. So, the easiest solution  I thought ,would be to just jump in the car and lead them to the parking lot.There was a bit of  shuffling around and  I hopped in.  The driver was a young woman   from South Korea,  with her 4 friends ( 3 others from SK and another young woman from Columbia ) They had arrived in Canada only 3 months ago and had never experienced snow ! So , here was this young woman driving in a snowstorm (one that I would not drive in ! ) and with encouragement and support from her front seat passenger, and backseat driver :-) , was doing a mighty fine job of it!! Within about seven minutes, we were safely parked, knew warm soup was awaiting  and   knew that even a snowstorm ...has an upside ! :-)
