Tension is high.

Just in case you haven't heard, tension is high between North and South Korea. Here is a basic time line of what happened.

March 26, 2010: The South Korean warship Cheonan mysteriously sinks in the West (Yellow) Sea, killing 46 sailors. People suspect North Korea is to blame.

April 25, 2010: South Korea's defense minister says the most likely cause of the sinking is was a torpedo.

May 20, 2010: A United Nations investigation finds that the sinking was in fact caused by a North Korean torpedo. On May 15th, torpedo parts were found that matched the schematics for known North Korean torpedoes.

South Korean President Lee Myung Bak promised that there would be repercussions for the North. North Korea has denied all of the allegations, even though a small fleet of submarines left their North Korean base shortly before the attack and returned shortly after. The North has also promised consequences for whatever measures the South will take.

Its crazy to think that just 6 hours north of me, this is happening. And yet, nobody seems too concerned. Although today I was asked if I was registered with the embassy and in my extra class my students told me that I would have to go home soon because of the war. Its all kind of scary.
