In Shanghai The first snow came down on this Wednesday which we were so shocked.A college who is a shanghainese said SH has not been fallen heavy snow like this time for a lots of years.
Why were we so excited about the first snow.For me the reason is Korean culture.Korean people think the first snow can bring some lucky things,and if you make a wish at the first snow day, it will come true.So many Korean couples make a wish which they can stay together forever at that day.
And a other popular thing in Korean is that people must be ordering a fried chicken and some beers for takeaway, and enjoy them with the beautiful snow view.
Although I didn’t eat Korean fried chicken at the first snow this year,I eaten a big Wangwangxuebing which is a kind of crisp biscuits and we always eat it during our childhood.
