Lock up all the whities

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:

    will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he's going to have a very good read. Thank you for sharing!

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of
    your website? Its very well written; I love
    what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I'm
    assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    of course like your website but you need to test the spelling on
    several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling
    problems and I to find it very troublesome to inform the truth then
    again I'll surely come again again.

    You actually maκe it seem so easy wіth your
    presentation but ӏ find this matter to be actually
    something whіch I think I woulԁ nеver unԁerstanԁ.
    It seеms too complex and verу broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll trу to gеt
    the hang of it!
