I will visit the U.S. Embassy today and the University of Seoul. Our group had meetings from 9am through 9:30 pm yesterday and as of yet, I have not been able to finish a couple of reflection pieces. My goal is to have a coouple posted by Friday.
In the meantime, the following newslink from NPR on North Korea is a fascinating look into this pennisula and society. It provides both a US and South Korean perspective of North Korea's connection to the outside world. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127836840
Finally, Brazil won its match over North Korea (2-1) on Tuesday (Wednesay in Seoul). The Korean front is suddenly buzzing with activity: UN deliberations on the sinking of the S. Korean vessel and threats of war (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/06/15/un.north.korea/index.html?hpt=T1), N. Korea's participation in the World Cup (its first since 1966), S. Korea's upcoming World Cup match on Thursday, and S. Korean national strategies to make the Incheon region a global node of capitalism.
I look forward to sharing my reflections with you soon!
Regards from Yonsei University in Seoul.
