Missile Crisis

So right now things are a little tense in South Korea. On Wednesday (July 4, North Korea sent 7 missiles into the Sea of Japan (East Sea) causing widespread panic and concern within the international community. Though the missiles were not sent as an act of aggression (North Korea claims that they are only testing the missiles to ensure their country's safety), the United States and the rest of the world are taking the missiles very seriously.
Because I am an expat in this county (Canadian), things are a little more tense then they seem to be for the Native Korean community. While at a staff meeting on Wednesday, the Korean staff seemed to be amused with our (the foreign staffs) concerns with the new developments. Granted the Koreas are still technically at war and nothing agressive has happened in over 50 years, it is different for them than it is for us. Because they have the security of their family, things are a little less "serious" for some of them. Anyways... after raising our concerns, the school checked into what we (as foreigners) would do if, heaven forbid, the cold war between the Koreans warmed up again.
If we are bombed (knocking hard on wood) we are to evacuate the building and go to our designated waiting areas for the Korean Army to pick us up and go to our bomb shelter. Then, we are to contact our embassies, who will have planes awaiting us at the airport to take us to a "safer" country, then home.
Though the chances of anything happening are very slim (to almost none), it is still a lot more comforting to know what would happen in case of the worst happening.
The school is going to run an evacuation drill next week, in hopes of easing the concerns of its foreign teachers.
Oh well.... logically, I know that the chances of an active "war" are non-existant (97%).... it is nice to know what to do in case the worst (3%) happens.
Anyhoo... things are good... my couch and desk were delivered and things are good.
Cheers!
