North South conflict

As a lot of you have probably heard there was a little bit on conflict yesterday here in Korea. To give some context the map below shows where we are located and where the island that was shelled is located.
Point A is Yeonpyeong Island.
Point B is Suwon.

As you can see it is a pretty precariously located island. At this point in time we are not terribly concerned about the conflict. This is a little more serious than some of the things in the past (first time South Korean soil has been attacked since the Korean War). It has been the norm that North Korea does stupid things in an attempt to get attention and aid. However, they have yet to do anything so stupid that it has warranted war breaking out. Though you could argue these last two (Cheonan sinking and this shelling) are pushing it pretty hard.

We think things will be fine but feel free to send up prayers that things don't escalate. Thanks to Kim Stewart for inspiring this post.
