Although not much blog-worthy has happened in the last couple of days because I have been house-ridden (hey, if one can be "bed-ridden," then I assume one can be "house-ridden," right?) due to the threat of Typhoon Bolaven sweeping across the western coast of Korea, I thought it best to keep you all informed. In Seoul, as of now at around 5pm, it hasn't been quite the hype that I assumed it was going to be. I even got multiple emergency alert emails from the US Embassy here, including the notice that they were closing early today due to the typhoon. To be honest, it's been REALLLLY windy here (and at times a little scary) accompanied by some rain at times, but it is nowhere near what Jeju and the coastal cities have been experiencing. According to a recent article from the Korea Herald, at least 16 are missing or dead , numerous people have been injured, and massive blackouts strike the country, as well as much damage to buildings and housing, etc. ...So please keep Korea in your prayers!
