Anyone driving in Seoul avoid the sejongno/gwanghwamun area.

I'll be avoiding seoul for the time being until things quiet down. The mob's approaching frenzy - with 1 million planned to march on the blue house this week.

Madness.

Oh dear.

I think things are going to get pretty messy around here. This could be a defining moment for Korea. If they scare off too much foreign investment with these shenanigans, the economy might take a long time to recover indeed.

Actually, it's 1 million nation wide who are planning to protest this week.

Jongno will still suck, though.

On the bright side, if any hagwons need a bus, they should be able to find one on a cheap budget.
