I lived in Hong Kong my whole life and never went to anywhere cold until my family moved to Chicago in the United States. I had watched many American movies though, and that was my only exposure to snow.
So, the first time I saw snow out my window I ran outside and tried to catch the snow on my tongue like I had seen over and over in the movies. but, I was dissapointed! I had expected it to be sweet... otherwise why else catch it on your tongue?
