It's a crazy long process, but long story short we finally got our final court date in Seoul last month to get Judge approval to take custody of our 16 month old boy. We had to come home whilst we waited for the court to process it. Meanwhile everything started to escalate over the last 2 weeks. We got our final approval though last week, and booked the first available flight to get here. Just took custody of him today. Now we're waiting for the Aus Embassy to process his Aus emergency passport so we can fly home. Trying to find a flight that gets home is getting thinner and thinner by the day. Already a very stressful process, but this COVID-19 has turned the world into panic stations. Tell you what though, the Korean's have been so bloody good at reducing impact so quickly. Streets, subways, public places etc have so many less people tank 4 weeks ago when we were first here.
When we do find a way home, we have to self isolate for 14 days, but we we're going to be 'cocooning' our boy trying to form a bond asap so not all bad. Might have to call on the SAfooty community to deliver some beer over our back fence
PS, the boy is going well so far. Eaten, bathed and in bed. Only woke up after 30 mins with a few tears but settled again in 10 minutes.
Bravo to you and Mrs Crab, that little tacker is going to be loved and cared for by a couple of super people by my reckoning. Well played.
If you need anything mate you shout out, I'm sure someone on here would be more than happy to help someone as selfless as yourself out.

Nothing better than fried mice and chips!

I just got into office and mentioned to my boss it seems incredibly dead at the moment - in the CBD walking along to the building, and on my floor most lights are off and would probably only have 20-30 people on my floor at the moment (out of around 100).

Curious though, how long until people say enough is enough around this quarantine stuff - one person gets sick, and the whole organisation around them must shut down and self isolate.
Surely it will reach a point where people just say **** it and continue on with normal everyday life?

Wish South Rd was the same, was crazy there this morning. I'm only on South Rd from Regency through to Brickworks & turn off there, but the lineup to Brickworks was back to under Grange Rd in the underpass.

It's getting bad everywhere, this morning I went for a piss and my colleague refused to partake in a sword fight at the urinal.
