Not even at my office. Fun fact - I work at a newspaper.

Admittedly I was late to the breaking news by an hour or so, so I was essentially behind by about two if you factor in the proceeding events. Either way, what's even wilder is that despite it having happened so close to China, no one mentioned a single word of it in Beijing where I live.

Only, in the half hour it had taken me to prepare my dinner and sit down on my couch to fully inhale all the info available on the unfolding situation, the news cycle had changed! Martial law had been struck down by Korean law makers and now people were calling for the president to step down.

So there I am trying not to burn my chicken and mushroom sauce darting in and out of the kitchen flipping from the BBC to CNN on YT hoping my vpn won't do that thing where it stalls when I need it the most. This is wild, I'm thinking to myself.
