And so far, that’s holding true. We had one last week that skirted our city and mostly hit central Korea and Seoul. This week, we’ve got another one that looks like it might get the heaviest portion closer to us.  I like the check the progress on a weather web page.  This one shows it nearly upon us (we’re just north and east of Busan on this map) as I write. But if one clicks  on the “weather in motion” on the bottom of the map the future trend may be discerned. The winds blowing east off the Asian mainland typically roar across our peninsula, dragging any northward moving typhoon with it. Japan usually gets more of these than we do.  We’re still a few hours from the main porting making landfall, so we’re not sure if we’ll get it.  In the meanwhile, just light rain and lots of humidity.

Always looking for ways to make a buck, we’re taking our lead (maybe only) position as the best English website in Ulsan to new areas. We’re sponsoring/hosting a TESOL course next month. I used my contacts at the University of Ulsan (a former UNT grad is the English Dept. Chairman) to secure a nice room for a two-day course. For our efforts in advertising and hosting the class, we’ll make 10-15% of the proceeds.  That could be a few thousand bucks for a creating a few ad pages and links.  Since we have the eyeballs of nearly every English-speaking person in the city looking at our site, it’s not hard to get some interest in things we promote. I just created the ads on Wednesday last week and by Sunday already have 10 people signed up. At close to $700 for the class, that’s a pretty good start.  Four more weeks to advertise and we should have a full course.
