so, the new york philharmonic performed a concert in north korea, and eric clapton will be heading down to the communist state socialist nation to perform, also.

oh, wait, they already did:
"old don antonio used to tell us that from black came light, and from there came the stars that light up the sky around the world. he recounted a story of a long time ago, when the first gods were entrusted to give birth to the world. in one of their gatherings, they understood that the world needed to have life and movement, but in order to have life and movement, light was necessary. then they thought of making the sun so that the days would move, making day and night, and time for struggling, and time for making love, and the world would go walking with the days and nights. the gods had their gathering and came to this agreement in front of a large fire, and they knew it was necessary that one of them be sacrificed by throwing himself into the fire, and himself become fire and fly into the sky. the gods thought that the sun's work was the most important, so they chose the most beautiful god to step into the fire and become the sun. but he was afraid. the smallest god, the one who was black, said he was not afraid, and he threw himself into the fire and became the sun. then the world had light and movement, and there was time for struggle and time for love, and while it was day the bodies worked to make the world, and while it was night the bodies made love and sparkles filled the darkness." |

it has become uncertain if south and north korea will face off in a soccer match in pyongyang as planned. the north korean capital is scheduled to host on march 26 a third regional preliminary between the two koreas for the 2010 football world cup in south africa. |
in the course of a single night and in the middle of downtown seoul, korea's no. 1 national treasure, the sungnyemun, more commonly known as namdaemun or south gate, turned to ashes. the public watched helplessly as seoul's main gate, which survived 600 years through the shock of wars—including the japanese invasion, the manchurian invasion and the korean war—collapsed into a pile of charred wood. as it burned down over the course of five hours despite efforts by 330 firefighters and 95 fire engines to put out the flames, a symbol of the nation and the spirit of the korean people was stripped bare, showing the world a side of korea that was markedly different than its gleaming status of one of the world's 10 largest economies. the wooden board bearing the name sungnyemun in beautiful calligraphy said to have been written by king sejong's brother, fell off the structure and lay on the cold, hard ground. watching this made all koreans feel as if a part of themselves had fallen down as well. |
"it is heartbreaking. it remained okay even during the korean war. our pride has fallen down." |
