Well, there's really nothing concrete new. On Sunday Link and I went skiing with the brothers Hwang, In-hyo, Ji-hyo, and Myoung-hyo. It was great, although the resort (Yang-Ji Resort) had only five slopes. Anyway, for rental equipment and the first time skiing in four or five years, it was really great. We came home really tired and I went to bed quite early.
Monday we went (all three of us "crims" and Roy who bestowed that title upon us) to Segyero to meet Dr. Kim for lunch. I think we were all hoping that he would have some more recent information. I was. But I was quickly disillusioned: he knew less than we (and, it would seem, continues to). But we had a nice lunch anyway.
Work was as usual ~ no one seems to know anything (though I expect that Mr. Li, Mr. Kwan, and the vice president do) or are being quite tactful. Certainly no one has mentioned it but Mrs. Han, whose interest, curiosity and sympathy is not unwelcome.
After work yesterday Link and I went up to see Mr. Im. His bravado of Saturday was all gone. He seemed tired and down. He seemed to believe we would not be able to continue working for him, and certain that we would have to leave the country. He offered to secure us jobs in Japan. But nothing had been determined. Another day. Tonight we will go up again. I called my parents and told them what I know, and I called [redacted] last night. That's all.
Duke and Link both refuse to think about all of the concrete information we don't have, and realize the present futility of plans and worries. They'd rather jump to the worst conclusion and impotently worry.
