Re: [97attendees] Protests in Seoul

Non-violent protests are ok. It's good to be aware of them in case you need to get a taxi to go the airport or something similar.
I'm pretty sure that in the Seoul case we have little to worry about.

You'd have to cross the Han River to get to the hotel from the square. There are smaller protests in other areas but I don't think it's something that we should worry about.
