| I've had a cold or something with a cough for the past two weeks as well. Not very consistent but every now and then I break out into a coughing fit... Not fun. >_< |

| I've been coughing on and off since I got here, which was 7 months ago. I get that tickling sensation as well. I figure it's the nasty air here, even though I should be somewhat desensitized from breathing in the pollution in Toronto. |

Doesn't sound right. You should to go see a doctor tomorrow morning. Go to a big university hospital such as SNU, Yonsei, or Samsung Medical Center.
The sooner the better. Trust me on this... |

It's tearing out my heart when I'm with you
And when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do I feel the pain
With our without you. |

Sunday was really bad it lightened up in the afternoon out here but I saw almost no one out and when I did go out to take the trash to the bin you could feel it. I is early this year!
So get yourself checked out but more than likely it is the yellow dust and pollen that is just now showing itself.

I had a cold for the first 4 weeks. Then 4 weeks healthy, then a bad cough for a bit over a week. I am good again, and was good on Sunday with the worst of the dust.
I am starting to think that my system is getting used to the local bugs. Making sure students dont cough over me helps as well.

I coughed a little last night. Today I'm buying a mask. Oddly enough, I couldn't find one at the my local supermarket. Apparently, only drug stores carry them. That's where I'm headed this afternoon.
Funny observation, too. Homever doesn't carry, of all things, towels. Yesterday, I asked a colleague of mine to buy me a few. Got a bunch this morning. I've been in Korea for one month with only one towel. No mas! No mas! |

Lat year for 2 months I was coughing so hard it would make me vomit. I have started wearing a mask when outside. |

| It could be Tuberculosis. Quite infectious in Korea at the moment, especially if you work in a public school. Go and see a doctor. |

| It should be mandatory to mention yellow dust in the job description. |
