An update from Jim

An update from our new campaigner on the ground, weirdly also called Jim ...

Finally getting situated here in Korea.

Left Friday arrived Sunday morning in Ulsan.
Unfortunately our gear didn't.

Finally got it last night.

Been quickly getting up to speed reading all our materials and following around Jim Wickens watchin him work our whale embassy, the locals & the press.

As you may have gathered from the website this ain't exactly a junket. We are surrounded by incinerators, petrochemicalplants, and of course whale and dolphin restaurants. Sort of like camping out in the wastelands of New Jersey.

The locals come down to walk around the ball field (field implies grass there is none) to get exercise but they are all wearing particulate masks. We could campaign on every one of our issues right from this spot. I'm even told there's a nuke not far away.
