Landslides and Flash Flooding in Seoul, Korea

Posted | Views: 15,483

After a month of heavy rain saturated mountainsides, a fresh deluge sent landslides sweeping into Seoul last week, killing 59 people. Ten were still reported missing. In a strange compounding of the misery, the landslides and flash flooding washed away landmines buried near an air defense unit in Seoul. Soldiers were searching for those landmines as well as North Korean landmines washed away near the border. A total of 76 landslides of different severity struck after the most intense rainstorm in Korea in the last century. Ten university students lost their lives while volunteering at a summer camp for kids when a landslide struck in Chuncheon. "If it keeps raining like this, no country in the world can endure this," South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said. -- Lane Turner

See, even Disney princesses know how to rock the geek-chic look! It’s remarkable how a simple pair of over-sized frames can quickly transform Belle, Ariel, Snow White, Alice and her other Disney pals into hip, in-the-know cool kids. So funny!

Coffee Cup

    

Check out this pretty sweet coffee cup. I'm not sure if this is a computer trick or the real deal. At any rate, if it does exist I would pay money for it. Only question is, where do you put your lips without the coffee coming down shirt?

One of our neighbours keeps Geckos and brought a couple over to see us. They kept changing colour which was rather interesting! Focus was difficult as she was holding this one at the time.
