12^C
Bright blue skies, and the has sun regained some of its warmth. Still pretty windy though!
I had to censor most of the words here which may be picked up by some sort of intelligence agency; so please forgive the minor interuptions. I'm hoping it will work this time round..
I guess I should mention the recent events regarding our nearest and quite possibly most mentally unstable world leader: [censored]. I first heard of this man through an incredibly informative source: Hollywood. Here was my first impression of him:

Since then I have broadened my knowledge base thanks to a quick search on Wikipedia. I’ve found out that CNN has described him as “one of the most mysterious leaders in the world”. Who just happens to rule the largest standing ar*my in the world, with a whopping 9 million tro*ops (including reserves), or 1.2 million currently armed [censored] ready for bat*tle. To put it into perspective that’s 74,000 (including reserves), or 53,000 armed that our Australia has. Ok so, lets back up a bit.. since when is Sharad/Shiv/Kraze/etc interested in world politics? [since his Soju supply has been threatened?] No, since Nor[censored]rea fir*ed a mis*sile/sate*llite when the US/Japan/South Korea asked them (however politely) not to. See two weeks ago N. K. announced that they will be sending a sate*llite into orbit between April 4th and 8th, though some thought it to be a long-range mi*ssil*e test capable of hitting US land (Alaska).
The information here thus far, is that yesterday they fired it off, and the first part broke off somewhere in the East Sea, and the second part sailed right over Japan and then fell.. nothing made it into orbit; and that’s all we know. Now what’s curious is that Japan dec*lared that they will fi*re upon anything that comes into Japanese Airspace. The US backed Japan saying that if it goes past Japan then USA will fi*re upon it. To those declarations North [censored] promptly announced that any disruption to its “sate*llite” will be considered an act of w*a*r.. and be dealt with in such a manner.
Obviously precautions need to be taken though they are just that; precautions. Over here nothing much has changed at all, there are no preparations for any sort of w*ar.. but it doesn’t hurt being prepared. So I have been in contact with my embassy, as have most foreigners here; and I have also packed an emer*gency bag (just-in-case I forget my toothbrush in the hurry). We have heard rumours of foreigners withdrawing all their money and packing everything they have in a hasty panic, though the general consensus around here is that that sort of behavior is premature and border-lining paranoid. Either way anything were to happen then I have 3-4 hours to get out, and have my escape route planned to tee. Though I wish I could offer be his friend just so he won’t be so damn ronery.
In other news.. today I was told by an 11 year old girl that she likes my hairstyle because it looks like MacGyver’s. Of all the people I’ve been said to look like; this blonde-haired, blue-eyes guy was not one of them! Though if memory serves, MacGyver had a full head of flowing, thick blonde hair.. right? The only way I can see the comparison is if he’s still making shows now at age 60 with a huge receding hairline!
Also I got some goods in today from the Foreign Food Mart! For a mere W30,000 I scored a bag of okra (bhindi), a bag of green beans, boneless chicken, 5 roti’s, tortilla’s, mixed vegetables, and a tub of I can’t believe its not butter! All this delivered and frozen in a Styrofoam box. Now like a true Indian; I just need a second freezer!
That’s basically all I have to report at the moment. I had one of the most peaceful weekends of my Korean life this weekend just past.. it was satisfying to just laze around with some exceptional company whilst listening to forgotten tunes.

finally...was wondering where you'd gone off to.
Good to see that you've got your es*cape planned out. however, i do see a lack of soju stock in your eme* rgency pack... you dont want to be forgetting basic supplies now do you?
May i suggest that if you do run into trouble, just throw your Blues jersey on them as you make your escape..i hear that any real man that gets in contact with it suffers severe burns upon contact...something to keep in mind hmm.
MacGyver! HA! the only thing i see you fashioning out of a paper clip and a rubber band...is some sort of crude bottle opener for your soju eh...
Anywho, fingers crossed this whole thing just blows over.
EXCEPTIONAL COMPANY!!!!!! Pls tell us more.
