All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey.

Things are really starting to cool down here in Suwon. Autumn (or fall) is well and truly here and it has been amazing to watch the leaves go through their transformation of colours before dropping to their inevitable end. We really got to experience this during our trip to the zoo where we were amazed by the many different colours. The experience was enhanced by the surrounding mountains which looked like they had been painted using the full spectrum of fall colours. The kids particularly enjoyed all the leaves on the ground, especially throwing them up in the air and letting them rain down. I think they actually enjoyed this more than seeing the animals. Over the past week we have been enjoying daily temperature ranges of 0 degrees to around 10-12 degrees. I was looking up some monthly averages the other day and found out that the average high for January is 0.6 degrees C, and the average low is -6.4 degrees C. Certainly something for us to look forward to.
