In the UK, a whole week holidays commencing from Christmas Eve, ending in the New Year. After a memorable Christmas Eve, Darling and I started to feel bored sitting at home, watching movies based on TV Guide. During this long vacation, all shops were closed and we absolutely had no moods to go out under the frozen weather. What’s worse, almost all of our friends have gone back to their home countries. It was no scope to visit friends, having fun together.
It was 31st of December, 2003. We planned to have a count-down party with Darling’s friend living nearby. Suddenly, it snowed outside. The snow was so heavy that while we walked out, we couldn’t see the landscape. It was a genuine white world. It was also our first time to experience heavy snowing in Sheffield. Sheffield didn’t snow too much during 2002 and 2003.
How lucky we were to see it before we left UK.
We got lost in a white world. We couldn’t make out whether we were in grass yards, or motor ways. It was almost an impossible job to track a place down where we have never been. We decided to walk home, quietly greeting 2004.
2004 was an unpredictable year for us. We left Sheffield and came back to our countries in 22nd of January, 2004. That snow New Year Eve was mixed with joy but more unexpectedness to the future.
