Before I left America, my family members had told me not to go to South Korea because it's danger and they are still at war with North Korea. However, I say that is stupid because they ceased fire even though they don't have a peace treaty. No one really thinks about the war here in Korea anyway...
But today..."North and South Korea exchanged artillery fire... after dozens of shells fired from the North struck a South Korean island near the countries’ disputed maritime border, South Korean military officials said" (New York Times).
I asked my Korean friends and professors if I should be alarmed but they said to not worry....until they have plans to attack Seoul. I'm not scared at all right now and I think I'm in good hands (I registered with the US Embassy before I came here) but I think this is worth blogging about.
