Svine Flux Update!

Some 50 (fifty) American citizens are being held (more or less with their [uninformed] consent), in quarantine in a hotel south of Seoul.

There were in a week long training seminar, about to launch careers as private school (hogwon) teachers, when disaster befell them.

One of their teachers was the Devil himself.

No, just joking, Satan is fine and at home, there's no need to worry about him.

One of these American teachers had contracted AH1N1, aka Dreaded Suckling Pig Flu, somewhere in his or her travels.. Acting with Keystone Cop lightning reflexes, Korean Ministry of health officials rounded up all the Americans from that hotel, and quarantined them in another hotel in a suburb of Seoul. Luckily, they grabbed one right after he'd been riding on the subway. That's just awesome.

And thus began their saga of thermometer probs and crappy meals, which you can read about HERE HERE HERE HERE YAY!


In related news, we have reports of recent British people arriving in Korea having their temperatures taken as they disembark. So if you're coming in and out of Korea this summer, try to keep your cool, or suffer an extra ten days of vacation courtesy Korea health.
