WuKong

My house is somewhere around the "M" in 3 AM.

I’ve been the harbinger of storms and natural disasters to Korea as long as I’ve been here. It used to be that I would have a vacation, leave the country, and Korea would immediately get hit by a typhoon or earthquake. This happened three or four times in the past, but I was always in transit or too busy to blog about how much destruction my trip left in its wake. You might call it survivor’s guilt, but for all the suffering, its never even delayed a plane I’ve taken.

Now Typhoon WuKong (Man, I wish they had named it Liu Kang) is scheduled to hit Korea dead on when I have a four day weekend and I’m not planning on going anywhere. It’s a sign! This will be the first major storm slated to basically hit the city I live in. We’ve been very lucky, and it seems this is atypical behavior. The city is surrounded by mountains, and I’ve been told the "mountain gods" protect this city from a few people. We shall see.  I don’t plan to do any "from the scene" sort of blogging, but if the scene comes to me, it’s not like I have any sort of choice. I’ll pack my camera on Sunday if I need to go out just in case.
