The largest movie screen in the world opened at the Yeongdeungpo CGV multiplex in western Seoul yesterday.

'Many more people dying from suicide than H1N1'

Suicide is the 4th leading cause of death due to the rapid modernization and stress for competition which has led to a breakdown in family ties/connections.

(Yep... it sure is like this... not that I know what it's like in the men's showers... lol)
