First things first: while I was asleep, President Yoon declared martial law in South Korea. I'm still trying to find out what this means practically for us residents. Expect this post to be updated. I literally didn't know any of this until I got my buddy Mike's text. Weird how information flows, eh? For now, I'm going back to sleep.
CORRECTION: Watch my main blog for updates. I generally try to keep politics off my walk blogs (and I admit I haven't always succeeded).
UPDATE: I woke up to the news that martial law has been un-declared by Yoon himself, so I at least don't have to worry about beating a curfew in the evenings. Any bets on whether Yoon resigns? I'll spend the rest of today lazing about, grabbing lunch from the meager convenience store, and preparing for tomorrow's walk. The forecast for today is sunny with a high of 8°C (it's freezing right now). Tomorrow will start off below freezing, then reach a high of 7°C. Cloudy all day, apparently. I would just ask the weather gods to please keep the precipitation away.
