In Korea the chaebols control the government so what is the odds the government is going to force the chaebol to properly reimburse the fishermen and business owners at Taean? Not very likely.

The sand is clean and the water clear, just the oil residue on rocks persists. All of the Koreans there at the beach working or supporting the volunteers were very nice, but as you said I didn't see _any_ Korean media on our beach at all. Either way I scrubbed the hell out of some rocks and hopefully that helped. I worked out there Thursday and Friday and the cleanup, while still needing a lot more manual labor, has come a long way.

A lot of foreigners in general do things out of kindness from their hearts, but these things rarely ever gets mentioned. You could possibly sacrifice over 35 000 of your own people for Koreans and they wouldn't care. Oh! Wait! That's reality, never mind!!
