I'm guessing #SouthKorea is relieved that the scouts from the #WorldScoutJamboree now returning home, after the planning and weather disaster that was the event. https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20230812003551325?input=tw

LOL #scout interview on the #WorldScoutJamboree: "It's good and bad, but mostly bad." "The organization is very very bad and it feels like they didn't really know that there were 50,00 people people coming and s***t everywhere and stuff like that" 😂 😱 #disaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG6PBQIkwEQ

Yonhap News: " An overwhelming amount of public funds in South Korea spent for the 2023 World Scout Jamboree was used for operational and personnel expenses instead of for the setting up of infrastructure... (officials) went on dozens of lavish overseas trips throughout eight years under the guise of research for the jamboree.

More on #WorldScoutJamboree #evacuation: 36,000 scouts being moved. SK minister said " it would take six hours or more to evacuate the scouts from the campsite, which organizers said will no longer be used for any event after they leave."

105F heat index at the #WorldScoutJamboree in #SouthKorea. #TyphoonKahnun has shifted its track and has high probability of high winds (60mph+ and torrential rainfall on Wednesday/Thursday). I do not envy the organizers who have to deal with logistics on this one; it seems like the dice are loaded against them :-(

62mph winds in area of Buan
