“SK on high alert after threats”
That’s it … I’m outta here.
** sorry, the link to the original AP news story (May 28, 2009) is broken, but here it is in a nutshell
The U.S. and South Korea military forces are on high alert after North Korea renounced the truce keeping the peace between the Koreas and threatened military action following nuclear and missile tests.
The International Herald (the global edition of the New York Times ~ my daily English newspaper) reported more anti-air missiles and artillery were dispatched to military bases on islands near the disputed western sea border with North Korea. (which would include the one I’m living on …)
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the situation is worrisome but has not reached a crisis level that would warrant additional U.S. troops in the region.
That’s it … I’m outta here.
I am going home.

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.

Yah, I was gonna call the Embassy and tell them I was your Mother and you need to come home now….. of course she’s probably already called. Seriously, the boys will understand – book your flight and come home!

Nancy — come home right now! I’m your older friend and I can say that!! But actually, I can’t read your post, as I’m sure others can’t; it’s garbled.
Please come home.

Hi Nancy,
I think it is time! I was able to read your post and I think it is time to come home. It just seems a bit too unstable for you to be there. I miss you!

i don’t know – and i just stumbled upon your blog by chance. that said, i travel the world in search of the ever elusive ‘adventure’ that has become my life-blood. seems to me that here you have a chance for adventure, stories to last a lifetime.
don’t run from adventure, don’t fear adventure! embrace it!
just a complete stranger’s probably undesired input. i wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide.
