Looks life fun.
Seriously, what’s the point of being in such crowded space?
Glad to hear your son and his friend are OK respectively. Definitely an unnerving feeling. Very unsettling.

That claustrophobic feeling of having been at some concerts and sporting events many years back. Definitely not a fun experience - especially that mass exodus of people departing the venue later. All the traffic and public transit. Packed like sardines.

School teacher.
How has he enjoyed the experience overall?
We've got some family friends who have a son who has been teaching in Korea for approx' 10 years (he's in his mid-30s or so). He got married within the past few years there.
Their family has been through some stuff over the years. His 2 younger brothers live at home and are special needs. Dad passed away within the past year from lung cancer (non smoker). Had a rough go for his final year. It hit my dad hard as he's been friends with the guy for over 50 years, and his wife is one of my mom's best friends. They're a very private family though so they kept everything pretty hush-hush. No visitors during the pandemic. No funeral or celebration of life.
Alot of responsibility now falls on the mom. She's an anxious person by nature, but I'm glad she has healthy outlets like gardening & art. Things that make her happy while she continues to care for her 2 sons at home - who are around 30 - 32yo at this point / she had kids later in life). Her background's in nursing - graduated with my mom back in the 70s.

This is old. Compression only is what people are being taught now. People not trained correctly don’t tilt the head back far enough, so air gets in the stomach instead of the lungs.
Yea, like who caused the stampede
