Wasn't too thrilled when I saw this article about EXPAT teachers and crime. I've learned that reading the Korean Times can make you upset. I haven't met too many people here who's been in real trouble over here. Honestly sounds like a someone who's trying to find a cause to get behind for election purposes. I am sick of political scare tatics, that goes for here and back in the U.S.

Swine Flu: Picture of the Week

Korea tends to take sickness seriously. In fact, the whole Asian world seems to be a bit paranoid when it comes to sickness. Images of Asians walking around with masks is normal. Here in Korea, it's pretty much a way of life. My students my wear cute masks on their face when it get's cold and people get sick here.

Now with the Swine Flu scare, Korea has gone over the top. Everyday, students at school go thru this line up and have to be checked by teachers. They check the temperatures and eyes. This has gone on everyday for the last few months. Schools have closed down here over this. And last semester a wave of public school teachers here in Daegu were put on quarintine for a week due to a scare. I wanted to share some of the images I see.








Also, I should have some videos comming up. One of the main reasons I've been so late with posts is because I'm backed up with pictures. Now that I have a new computer (!) it's a lot easier to post vids and pictures.
