Three boys, a boat, some missiles and 40 cans of tuna.

Uncle Kim

In a week that missiles were exchanged between the North and South, the tension that is rising here has somewhat dominated events.  I know that everyone back home will be keenly interested in other 'Ashes' though which in many respects also have started ominously. 
  It has been my intention to write about life here in Korea, although after tuesdays events, I am sure many of you will know exactly what is going on here if not more than me.  I want to reassure my grandparents that we are fine and safe as their copy of the 'daily mail' will have no doubt mentioned world war 3, the apocalypse and god knows what else. 
  In fact I have just spent the last 3 hours digging an underground bunker and Cassandra is down at the store buying 40 cans of tuna and as much bottled water as she can carry. 

The important thing is that life here is good and yet again it is astonishing how quickly this week has flown by.  I want to point you in the direction of this story if you haven't already seen it and hope to update more over the weekend.
