If I find out that I have to evacuate, I will not look out the airplane window and laugh. I will cry for a very long time for the wonderful people that will have to stay here because this is their country.

I know that my university students here are very frightened of what will happen if Our Dear Leader in Washington decides to turn his attention in this direction. It reminds me of one of those old sci fi flicks, where the monster is running amok in one direction, and suddenly veers off in another. I just keep hoping that the war in Iraq, spying on their own citizens, suspending habias corpus, and closing headshops and websites is enough to keep this administration busy for a long while.

It seems like things have calmed down a lot in the past year or so...maybe someone realizes that Iraq is not easily conquered and does not yet have time to move on to other evils.

How do you all feel about it now? Is everyone still registered at the embassy with emergency bags packed and evacuation plans at hand? (I carried the blessed evacuation plan and a portable radio around for MONTHS! )

I think the commies would launch missiles at the American bases first. Head for Mokpo then catch a slow boat to China.

My plan was just to swim to japan.
Just jump in the ocean and hope someone picks me up.

I've heard that drowning is a peaceful death

The prisoner abuse scandal has eclipsed everything else in the news, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen the "dear leader" since the explosion at the train station.

I think the U.S. has too much to deal with at the moment, in Iraq. But I worry about what Bush will do if he is elected in the fall. With a mandate and no neet to worry about being re-elected (two terms limit in States, unless the right decides to change the Constitution to ban gay marriages allow for a third term) he could do whatever he could get away with.

Anyway, I'm not worried at the moment, but I do try to keep cash on hand in case of any exigency that may arise.

If North Korea Attacks I Would Get Out My God Damn Gun And Start Blasting Hell Out Of Every God Damn Last One Of Those 22 Million Satans.

nev,
How would you tell the difference between the North and South Koreans in a war situation????
It would be paronoid madness.

This topic over the last few years just keeps coming up again and again

and again

and again

Really....... if anything if EVER DID occur - I would just keep going about life as usual... work etc

I find it amazing that this topic keeps coming up again and again...

and again

and again

and wonder to myself - if all these people are so afraid.... and actually think that something will happen sooner or later... why did they so BOLDLY venture here in the first place?

Shouldn't you run now??

When I lived in Pusan, I kept a backpack with clean underwear, several hundred US$ in cash and my passport in it - and a baseball bat.

The money was for the taxi driver to take me to Camp Hialeah (nobody would attack that little place) and the baseball bat was in case the taxi driver didn't cooperate.

hmmm...maybe i should register at the embassy.

i guess i would kind of blend in with everyone if anything did happen.


well, i guess i would just head down to the local LG 25 and pick me up a lot of the green bottles.....

As I've posted on a similar thread last year, I still think I'd liberate a fishing boat from a harbour here on the island or a pleasure craft from a marina in Busan and sail toward a South Pacific island with a couple of newly-found friends. (I've always loved islands and seafood.)

jurassic5,

When they storm across the border, head down to Icheon... it's a little podunk place nobody cares about and you and I can put away beers while the country goes to hell around us.
