My Customary Update from Korea

Not that I'm sure any of you have been following things over here, but knowing how international media tends to over-dramatize things and since South Korea is about to go to the UN Security Council, I thought I should get on here and say that things are okay over here in the land of the morning calm... (which I don't necessarily agree with that statement, because morning rush hour is the worst...)

Yes, North Korea sank a South Korean navy ship. Yes, we have the torpedo that proves it. Yes, South Korea is cutting off all economic ties and North Korea is cutting off all the diplomatic ones, but things are okay. People are more worried about the World Cup game this weekend than how things are going between North and South Korea. (Taehan minguk!) However, just in case, I did look over the evacuation procedures for American citizens and my roommate and I are getting our emergency evacuation kits together. (And making plans to purchase bicycles since we doubt public transportation will be running if North Korea does get a crazy hankering to start shooting missiles at Seoul.)

So... that's about all. Oh, except South Korea just had its second attempt at sending a satellite into space today with its own technology... yea, they lost that thing about 20 minutes after lift off... I love working at a news channel...

(Oh, and I'm single again. Hooray!)
