봄은 또 온다

I have not made peace with Lunar New Year happening in winter but the word 'spring' used everywhere almost like synonym. I should not have bother since seasons are non-existent at equator. I knew Lunar New Year falls on the first new moon after 'lichun' (Start of Spring) but many people, who celebrate it, are still wrapped in thick clothing. There isn't a soothing sense of spring warmth in the air yet. The spring in the Spring Festival is not the same as the seasonal spring we are used to. Same same but different, I can live with that under the name of tradition.
