Is it safe to go work in South Korea?
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea � North Korea's military threatened Sunday to fire at South Korea, as Seoul prepared to start annual joint drills with U.S. troops � maneuvers Pyongyang says are a rehearsal for an invasion.
The North's military warned that it would shoot directly at South Korean border towns and destroy them if Seoul continued to allow activists to launch propaganda leaflets toward the communist country, Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said. The warning was conveyed to South Korea's military earlier Sunday, it said. |

| well, teachers and students usually get U.N. Soldiers to escort them to and from school. You are also issued a bullet proof jacket as well upon entering the school. You're on your own from the hours of 6pm-9am. That's when I usually hunker down and have my soup in can ready to go with water and emergency flashlight. Any day now... |

| If you're planning to work a hagwon don't even think about coming. Due to budget, only public schools and universities provide bullet proof vests and flack jackets. |

In all seriousness you likely don't have to worry about NK all that much. They have been making such statements for quite a while. There is a risk in coming, of course, but odds are there is more risk in driving to the airport. North Korea makes those statements for both external and internal reasons. They need to appear very unstable in order promote discussion/trade. It is something they have been doing for a long time.
I suppose there is a greater risk in coming here than driving to the airport... but I doubt the difference is significant.
What is the deal with Daves anyways. No Spoiler tags? What is this, the 90s? |

Statistically speaking, driving to the airport is way more dangerous. |
