This is Kind of messed up….. I would like to know if there are any Koreans in quarantine.. … The Hagwan and Hotel staff from the Training …? And I don’t see how they could only quarantine new teachers and not any of the hundreds of other people who walk off of the plane…!

I tested positive for the H1N1ESL flu! I’m being sent to an “upgraded facility.” Thanks for all of the kind words!

Thanks so much for the offer. Not to speak for everyone, but we’re doing fine. Besides fighting off boredom we’re all fed and pretty comfy.

Shanna, thanks for the update! Let us know if you need anything, some of us at RMH are actually in the Seocho neighborhood and are willing to lend a hand [short of aiding and abetting escape]!^^

Just to clarify, there were actually around 70 teachers in our initial group. Some were already sent to their placements, and then rounded up by officials and brought to the quarantine. No one seems to know we’re here, and when one of the guys tried to contact the embassy, they said it was a holiday and to call back another time. Pretty funny stuff.
