So, South Korea has had some trouble as of late with massive amounts of snow on their east coast that they actually deployed military soldiers to help with the citizens. They even took helicoptors! Does any of this look familiar? Click here to watch the video from BBC.
Yep. I thought so. Here in Wisconsin, S.K. we know how you feel. We hope you all get out safe and sound and can resume your happy lives!
Meanwhile, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak pushed through the snow to get to the Pyeongchang, the Asian hopeful of the 2018 Olympics games. This article describes Asia as only having held two winter Olympics, both in Japan (1972, 1998). HEY IOC! It's time to take it elsewhere than Europe and the U.S.... now give it up for S.K.! See full article in LA Times; Sports.
Remember those Pirate stories of old? Well, a few years ago we had heard quite a few about some Somalian Pirates who just wouldn't believe that the 7 seas are pretty much unconquerable. They finally let go a South Korean ship after holding it captive for 4 MONTHS. Poor guys were just trying to catch some crab at an island off of the Kenyan coast. Most of the passengers were Kenyan actually. But the boat and two men are South Korean. They have returned safely from Somalia, but as you can see here from ABC news, the ship looks in pretty rough shape. ARRRGGHHH!
South Korea Christians are hemming and hawing about a new regulation about traveling overseas to Islamic countries. They are trying to make sure that no illegal activity is occurring within the countries once South Koreans arrive. However, South Koreans Christians are not the only ones who go overseas to Islamic countries to bring the Word of God to the people. What could this mean for American missionaries? Well I am hoping they would put up a stink too. But it looks like they have already gone far to give ransom for other trapped missionaries. Christians are unsure of the S.K. promise to free speech. Although they don't necessarily have the United States policy of purposely imposing on countries that don't have it. Read full article here at this amazing new source: The Korean Herald.
Well. That's just a little news from South Korea. I will update you on my reading later this weekend! Have a good one!
