We are SO close to where they tested the nuclear bomb.
Shouldn't we worry about radiation? If you see your friends losing their hair, maybe you should consider your travel options out of Korea. |

| Not particularly. It was an underground test and therefore should be relatively contained. My only concern would be if fallout leaks into the water table but I don't think they would be stupid enough to conduct the test in a place where this could occur. Plenty of nuclear tests have been done throughout the world and it is usually only those living locally and directly interacting with the immediate ecosystem that have suffered ill effects. This might prove to be an issue for North Koreans living near the test site but I don't think it will be a problem for those of us living in South Korea. |

I'm curious, doesn't much of the drinking water for Korea come from mountains in the North that stream down into the South? |
