I felt something around that time in Bundang. I was sitting on my desk teaching and went "Whoa!" and all the students looked at me like I was crazy. I'm from San Francisco I thought my blood sugar was just low.

I felt it here in Bundang. Chalked it up to my usual vertigo/terrible fear of being in tall buildings. And now that it was a real earthquake, I'm even more panicky! Time to down some soju.

I totally felt it in Mokdong. I was on the seventh floor and it shook, as if someone had dropped a cinderblock a few doors down. Didn't think anything of it until now.

I wondered about that. I felt it while trying to put the baby to sleep. Thought maybe the upstairs neighbors were being rowdy or the cheering in New Orleans finally reached Seoul.

According to the news, 3.0 on the richter scale. Strange.
