Piri
The ''piri'' is a Korean double reed instrument, used in both the folk and classical (court) music of Korea. Originating in Central Asia, it was introduced to the Korean peninsula from China, and has been used there as early as the Three Kingdoms period, most notably in the states of Goguryeo and Baekje. The instrument consists of a tube of bamboo, which is perforated with finger holes, and has a large double reed. Its cylindrical bore gives it a sound mellower than that of many other types of oboe. A typical ''piri'' has eight finger holes, seven of which are on the front, with the remaining one on the back for the thumb. There are four types of ''piri'': #Hyang piri (hangul: ; hanja: ) #Se piri (hangul: ; hanja: ) #Dang piri (hangul: ; hanja: ) #Dae piri () There are different types of ''piri'', each suited for use in a different type of music. The ''Hyang piri'' is the longest and most common form of ''piri''. Because of its loud and nasal tone, it usually plays the main mel ...

Deptford Broadway
The A2 is a major road in south-east England, connecting London with the English Channel port of Dover in Kent. This route has always been of importance as a connection between London and sea trade routes to Continental Europe. It was originally known as the Dover Road. The M2 motorway has replaced part of the A2 as the strategic route. Unlike the other single digit A-roads in Great Britain, the A2 does not form a zone boundary. The boundary between Zones 1 and 2 is the River Thames. History of the route The route of the current A2 follows a similar route to that of a Celtic ancient trackway. It was an important route for the Romans linking London with Canterbury and the three Channel ports of Rutupiae (now Richborough), Dubris (now Dover) and Portus Lemanis (in modern Lympne). It had river crossings at Rochester over the River Medway; Dartford ( River Darent) and Crayford (River Cray). The Romans paved the road and constructed the first Rochester Bridge across the Medw ...
