Apparently an outbreak of Swine Flu has hit the foreigner population of South Korea, specifically in Seocho (where Casey lives, and where we celebrated Iwona's birthday this weekend). So far, 50 or so English teachers have been quarantined for the next 10 days in some hospital in Seocho-dong. No contact with the outside world, and apparently life there resembles a modern-day Lord of The Flies. Schools are starting to shut down, and as they figure out who the quarantined teachers have had contact with, those people will be quarantined too. I've met up with soooo many white people this weekend, and in that specific "hot zone", I'm bound to be locked up. Don't worry, no flu symptoms.... yet.
PS: Cue my mom's unnecessary freak-out.
Here's a blog on tumblr written by one of the quarantined teachers, and updated every few hours. It's great... you can really follow their descent into cabin fever:
