All is ok over here!

Just wanted to send a quick note to say that I am, indeed, ok over here. I know the images and the news on the recent earthquakes and tsunamis are terrifying and incredible, but all is well here in the Land of the Morning Calm. In fact, as I've now told my cousin and my parents, I wouldn't know anything was going on if I didn't watch US News programs! (The Today Show is on here at 9p every day!)

To understand how I can possible not be affected by all the craziness, I offer an illustration of the Pacific Rim of Fire:

As you can see, Korea lies outside of it, and that is where all the craziness is occurring right now.

I'm sure there will be humanitarian aid efforts going on over here, and I'm actually going to look into those. I'll keep you posted about the after effects. But again, I am safe, we've had no geological events go on in the last 48 hours, and I'll let you know if anything changes:)

And I just found out yesterday that my household goods arrived in port in Osan on the Korean peninsula, so my material things are also safe. Hoorah!

Well, I'm off to manage whatever anxiety I do have on the current situation, etc. with a little retail therapy. Will take pics of the port city of Osan and will post soon!

Thanks for the emails and concern! MISS YOU all:)
