Out of the estimated 50,000,000, at least 10,000 Koreans have the swine flu, according to one recent estimate (HT to gangwonnotes for beating me to the story on the Chosun Ilbo):
With the eighth death linked to H1N1 flu reported on Tuesday, the number of patients infected with the H1N1 virus exceeded 10,000 in Korea about four months
OK, so I know enough of you readers enjoy the little monthly poll on the blog (assuming you're not reading through the RSS feed or a Google Reader-like setup). A fellow K-blogger is doing a short survey about community between expats / foreigners here in Korea, so hit him with your opinions. 10 multiple-choice questions you can ace in five minutes.
As you may remember, Heather and I are getting married this Saturday the 19th. The preparations are well advanced and there are just a few more things to organise. The final factor will be the weather, because if it rains, we'll have to move it all indoors. Right now the forecast is good and so I hope it holds up.
Congratulations on winning the ATEK presidential election, as reported in the Korea Herald (HT to Rob York - you guys really should sign him up to write your press releases) While I'm sure the news will be surprising to some, I trust that the members of ATEK will accept you through the democratic process that has been followed.
Just a quick note to mark the passing of Keith Floyd, who died Monday at the age of 65 from a heart attack.
Floyd was the orginal food punk, cooking glass in hand with a devil-may-care attitude while Anthony Bourdain was still washing dishes (no disrespect to Tony.)
I first encountered Floyd on the BBC's Saturday Kitchen, where re-runs of his mediterrean adventures ran at just about the same time as my own, latent relationship with cooking was starting to develop.
So i've wasted my past couple of months here, and I actually want to be productive in my life now... I am looking for good Yoga classes, Tae Kwon Do classes, and beginner Korean Language classes located on or near Yeongdo. Any information or recommondations about any of these 3 things would be greatly apprecaited!
