Day Three: Good morning!
Woke up, got my temperature taken. A little low, 36.0 (98f) degrees, but at least it’s not high! Breakfast was a sandwich and some Dole OJ.
Many people have been emailing, asking how they can help (smuggling beer in, smuggling us out), so I got an email this morning from the US Embassy suggesting that we ask friends and family to contact the South Korean Embassy in Washington DC with our dissatisfaction.
So, here’s the contact information if you’re interested in giving them a piece of your mind about whether you feel we’re being treated fairly or not:
South Korean Embassy to the United States, Washington DC
(202) 939-5663 / 5660
consular_usa@mofat.go.kr
Also, people have asked whether they should contact respective news organizations in their home town, and my opinion is this: the Korean government is sure trying to keep us out of the news over here, even to the point of lying about the numbers here, and our treatment has gotten worse, so the more people know about what’s going on, the better. You can refer them to this blog, or the previously linked new articles.
