Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still safe over here. I know the incident hasn't been televised to the States as much as it has here, so I guess I'll give a quick rundown of what's going on. Earlier today, North Korea sent over 200 artillery rounds to a small South Korean island called Yeonpyeong. The island is about 25 miles away from my home... so it was pretty close. I'm supposed to be going on a teacher's field trip on Friday in a city closer to the coast, but that may change.
I've taken precautions with the U.S. embassy in case I need to make a quick exit. Information on what will happen from here is pretty scarce. South Korea has already retaliated with their own artillery fire, but further actions are still being discussed. Tensions are rising due to the arguments of "who fired first", but everyone still wants to avoid an all out war.
I'll keep you all posted on further developments. Just wanted everyone to know that I'm still safe.
Good to hear you are safe! Sending good thoughts your way and to the people of South Korea. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
