Did you hear the wind last night?  It was crazy wasn't it?  All the time I've spent in Korea, this was by far the worst I remember.  Inevitably, there were lots of damages done across the country.  Below, I've scrapped some of the damages caught on camera.  Hopefully none of you out there reading this blog suffered any damage.

Ever had any interest in playing around with a radio-controlled plane or a helicopter?  I have, but it was always one of those 'might-be-cool' interests.  Nothing serious.  A few days ago, a Youtube video really caught my eyes that really brought this small interest of mine back.
