Colder nights in Korea

Alicia Keys is coming to Korea on Wednesday, Oct. 13th. I would have considered going to see her, but it's in the middle of the week. She's playing at the Millenium Hall, which is right next to Gangnam Express Bus Terminal. I wonder if she'll get a chance to walk outside and have some o-deng (boiled fish paste on a stick). Actually, it tastes better than it sounds.
Well, this isn't good news... If North Korea were to attack South Korea, 1/3 of Seoul would be destroyed within an hour. If the U.S. did not help with air support, Seoul would fall in less than 16 days. Any sign of trouble, and I'd be on the first bus to Busan!
Want to see the two richest businessmen in Korea? Of course, it's Samsung Group's chairman, and his son. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see pictures of super rich people, I wonder if they'd had plastic surgery. Maybe because I'm being exposed to shows like The Swan, Nip/Tuck, and Extreme Makeover, that makes me a skeptic to naturally good looks. The only one of the above shows worth watching is Nip/Tuck, which TV Guide says is "The coolest show on TV."
I've noticed it's been getting kind of cold lately, with lows in the 50's (14 oC). I know that to some in Canada, that doesn't seem very cold, but I grew up in a moderate climate, and I'm the type of person that gets cold in the sun. I really noticed it today when walking home, because my ears were cold. There are not too many things that I LOVE about the colder weather, but one thing I do love, is getting a chance to use the heating pad on my bed. I've never used one until I got to Korea, and let me tell you... it's FREAKIN' FANTASTIC!!! That's right, 3 exclaimation points! I love crawling into a pre-warm bed so much, that I almost every time I use it, I wish I were fat - really FAT. That way, I'd have more skin to cover more of the bed, thus feeling more warmth. Makes perfect sense, right?
