Welcome to United States Garrison Red Cloud and Area I You have arrived at a location that is an exceptional Military Community situated within the two main cities of Uijeongbu and Dongducheon. Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is located approximately 24 kilometers from Uijeongbu and a must see destination while you are either stationed or in transit.

Area I has the best of both worlds, the Korean Culture just outside our gates and the U.S. Culture right inside our gates.

You may be located at one of our Area I Camps Red Cloud, Stanley, Jackson, Hovey or Casey. Regardless of where you may be, you will still find the great services, programs and products that you are accustomed to at stateside garrisons.

Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) provides a diverse number of programs and services to you, and if accompanied, your family. We pride ourselves on having some of the very best programs and services located on the Korean Peninsula. You can pick up the “In the Zone” magazine which features most, if not all the programs and services available throughout FMWR and our other services within the Area I community.

If you require additional information on USAG Red Cloud and Area I or the surrounding area, please contact the ACS Information and Referral or Relocation Services Team for assistance. In fact, you can reach out and touch any of our FMWR services and they will be glad to provide you with the assistance you seek.

We have a lot to do, to see, opportunities to travel and much, much more and we hope to help you, with the Warriors’ Guide, in taking your first step to better understanding the great opportunity you have being part of USAG Red Cloud and Area I Community or Korea for that matter!

Welcome to Korea

Most Americans have little or no knowledge of Korea’s history and culture, and much of what they do know may be an erroneous impression garnered from the news media or old newsreel footage from the Korean War. In reality, the Republic of Korea is a vibrant, vital country of more than 49 million people, all striving to keep up in this fast-paced, modern society. Koreans have become world travelers, world-class economic competitors, and they are highly regarded participants in world affairs. Underpinning all their vast economic and commercial

accomplishments over the last twenty-five years though, lays the Korean people’s spiritual wealth, their traditional respect for elders, their strong belief in community, their love of nature, and their sense of national pride.

Many newcomers find South Korea to be an exotic place. Keeping an open mind and being willing to experience and appreciate cultural differences will make your tour of duty here one of the most memorable of your military career.

Embark on your Korean experience with a sense of adventure and your

journey may surprise you in new and wonderful ways. Soon after you arrive, you will realize the Korean people are very friendly. They will exert themselves to the utmost to understand you. Many Koreans, especially in Seoul, speak some English.

At times though, communication can be a frustrating task. The key is to exercise patience, speak slowly (not loudly!) and express gratitude. Your reward will be their readiness to cooperate and to support you.

Korea’s history is an amazing mixture of events and trends. Against the backdrop

of strong cultural uniformity that started to emerge in the seventh century and has continued up to the present day, we find a pattern of rich contrasts. Buddhist pagodas stand side by side with Confucian Shrines, cycles of great commercial growth are set against downturns of financial decay and numerous foreign invasions are countered by attempts at territorial expansion. A land-owning aristocratic scholar class ruled over a rigid social structure, supported by less-respected merchants and agricultural peasants who toiled as tenant farmers.

Within the Korean government, periods of factional strife and political coups contrast with long periods of stability. Learning about Korea’s past helps put the present into true perspective.

On a busy day in Seoul, the capital city

Welcome to Korea of 24.5 million people, we guarantee you’ll notice the following: • The industriousness of the people - The official work and school week is Monday through noon Saturday. The second and fourth Saturdays are not official work days.

• Traffic - Everyone tries to “get there

(a fermented vegetable dish with as many variations as there are Korean cooks.) Once you acquire a taste for it, eating Koreanstyle can be inexpensive and delicious.

• The clothing - Koreans are much more formal in their dress than most Westerners and take great pains with their appearances. As the culture becomes even more westernized, the number of Koreans who still wear a traditional Korean dress called “Hanbok” (graceful, full-length garment in several pieces) is declining except on holidays or for formal occasions.

• The Korean alphabet, Hangul - This

first.” The traffic in many parts of Korea is legendary and rivals the worst that New York, Paris, London, or Washington D.C. has to offer. Rather than a methodical, legalized culture of driving, Korea’s driving habits have been described as currents in a vast river all flowing in the same general direction.

• A myriad of smells - Visitors quickly

come to believe garlic must be the national food staple. It is used extensively in Korean dishes. Two very popular dishes are Bulgogi (barbecued marinated beef), and kimchi

phonetic alphabet, invented by King Sejong and a group of scholars in 1443, is actually straight forward but often intimidating to foreigners. The 1988 Olympics in Seoul encouraged the Koreans to print most major road and street signs in both Hangul and English.

• The jostling crowds - Space is precious in Seoul. Koreans are accustomed to tight crowds, and they assume everyone else is too. Therefore, pushing and shoving is normal and not to be taken personally.

WARRIOR’S GUIDE Your Family & MWR Welcome Packet to Korea

‘Visit Itaewon’ Go to page 53

• The markets - Nowhere in the world, Hong Kong included, are there markets and shopping areas to rival those of Seoul.

Itaewon, located just outside Yongsan Garrison, is probably the most famous of the Korean shopping meccas. The true Korean markets, however, are not as Western in style as Itaewon. In the traditional markets like Dongdaemun (East Gate) and Namdaemun (South Gate), products are grouped according to type.

Astonishingly you will encounter rows and rows of leather jacket vendors in one place, miles of fabric in another, and thousands of electronic gadgets in another. The range

is truly amazing! See Markets under the Shopping section for more information.

As with any other prospective assignment, try to visit or correspond with others who have been stationed here before you come. Stay open minded, though, to form your own opinions. While you are here, take every opportunity to venture off Yongsan and explore this beautiful, mountainous country. Strike up conversations with the Korean people, taste the delicious and sometimes unusual food and enjoy the cultural arts. It will definitely be an experience you will never forget.

Facts About South Korea

• History - Korea is said to have been founded about 4,300 years ago. Its recorded history dates back to 300 B.C. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) was established in 1948.

• Language - The Korean written language is referred to as Hangul; the spoken language is simply called Korean (Hanguk-mal).

• Geography - Korea is a peninsula thrusting from the northeast Asian mainland in a southerly direction for about

620 miles/1,000 kilometers. The peninsula, contiguous to the two continental powers of China and Russia to the north and nearby oceanic Japan to the south, functioned for a long time as a land bridge through which continental culture was transmitted to Japan. Its peninsula location has both the advantage of easy access to adjacent cultures and the disadvantage of becoming the target of aggressive neighbors. South Korea shares a land boundary with North Korea of about 150

• Area - 8,452 square miles/ 99,237 sq. km (about the size of Indiana).

• Climate - Long, cold winters and short, hot, humid summers with late monsoon rains and flooding. Temperatures in January average 21°F to 35°F. (However, 2009 & 2010 have had several weeks of below 20°F temps.) In July the averages are 71°F to 82°F. The annual rainfall varies from year to year but usually averages more than 39 inches/100 centimeters. Of that total, two-thirds of the precipitation falls between June and September.

• President - Park, Geun-hye • Capital City - Seoul (Est. population of 24.5 million).

• Monetary Unit - Won • Population - Approximately 48.6 Million (July 2010).

• Largest Cities - Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and Incheon.

include: agricultural products, electronics, machinery, textiles, steel along with metal and chemical products. Major products: clothing, textiles, processed foods, chemicals, and electronics.

• Natural Resources - Iron, copper ore, tungsten, and graphite.

• National Bird – Magpie (traditionally said to bring good news) • National Flower - Rose of Sharon.

Adventure Seoul Class

Your Ticket to Travel in Korea The Korean transportation system is among the most effective and widely used transit systems in the world, with the subway systems alone, accommodating more than 8 million trips daily. This

robust system connects Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi-do Province, and most Northern and Western provinces with each other; which basically means, that if you learn the fundamentals of riding the bus or train, you’ll have access to most tourist locations and Korean hotspots that you’ve previously heard or seen on a Korean travel brochure.

Your Access Pass to Adventure Travel in Korea!

Good for Buses, Trains and participating Taxi Companies Comes with Basic Instructions on How/Where to Load Credit Comes with a Subway Map and Basic Boarding Instructions

Korea Bus Transportation Riding the local bus is one of the excellent methods of transportation in Korea.

But before you get on that bus, there are a few things that you should prepare for otherwise, you’ll end up flying, missing your stop or end up acting rude.

BUS TIP #1: Hold on for Dear Life!

Korean bus drivers are known for their speed. Many of them drive really, really fast, enough so that you can feel a bit unsafe. But for the most part, bus drivers don’t get into accidents. So although they’re a tiny bit reckless, you’re still pretty safe. That is if you’re holding onto something for dear life! That’s because as fast as they can speed up, they can brake just as fast. That can result in a lot of commuters falling over or even flying across the bus when the bus comes to an extremely abrupt stop. If you’re riding the buses in, remember to hold onto something, almost literally for dear life!

BUS TIP #2: Be Awesome and Get Up for the Elderly and Children If you think you’re in danger of going flying in a Seoul bus, think about how hard it is for a little child or an elderly Korean person to hold on for dear life. Just as Korean subway etiquette says you should

get up for little children, the elderly, the pregnant and the injured, you should pretty much do the same on buses. If you help a fellow Korean bus rider in need, it’ll put you in the awesome category. And who doesn’t like to be awesome---just do it!

BUS TIP #3: Rush Hour – The Back Serves as an Entrance If you ever try to get on a bus at peak of rush hour, you might find yourself fighting with droves of people to get on the bus.

For buses, it’s a pretty strict rule: the front is the entrance and the back is the exit.

That is until there’s a bunch of people trying to get home during rush hour. When the crowds get too big, some bus drivers will open the back door as an entrance for people trying to get on. It’ll load the bus quicker, and doing everything as fast as possible is what Korean culture is all about!

WARRIOR’S GUIDE Your Family & MWR Welcome Packet to Korea

12 13

BUS TIP #4: Super Crowded? Press the Bell on the Ceiling So the bus driver opens the back of the bus to let waves of people into the bus, and now you find yourself packed inside a bus with a bunch of people holding on for dear life. But lucky for you, your bus stop is now coming. You reach for the bell to let the bus driver know that you’re about to get off, but your stumbling because there’s so many people, and the bus driver is braking and accelerating like a mad man.

Have no fear. Bus authorities have placed bells on the ceilings of buses for just this occasion. Although not every single bus will have bells on the ceilings, many of the more crowded buses will have bells on the ceilings just for this purpose!

BUS TIP #5: Don’t Miss Your Stop!

Go to the Back Sweet! So you pressed the bell, and now your stop is coming up. Since the bus driver is driving crazy fast, you’ll just sit until the bus comes to a total stop before you get up. And although that’s probably the safest way to do things, that isn’t the reality. Most bus drivers like to pick up and drop off passengers as fast as possible.

And that means if you’re getting off, you should be ready and waiting to get off. If you’re riding the bus, you have to be sure that you’re standing and waiting near the rear exit of the bus, even while the bus is moving. Otherwise, the bus driver might get impatient and you might miss your stop! In that case just say “Ajeoshi! Stop!”

Subway & T-Money

Once you have reached Uijeongbu Station, you now have basic access to any part of Seoul and nearby areas. There are 9 main lines and 8 partial lines. You can transfer to any of these lines with no additional fee. However, you may be charged a bit (up to W1,500) depending on the distance you traveled. Basic fee is W1,050 and you have to pay with a “T-Money” public transportation card or a credit card that has a“T-Money” sign in it. The subway will not accept cash but you can buy a one-time-only public transportation card in every station. Such card would cost additional W500 for

deposit. You can get W500 back when you reach your destination.

Inside the subway, there are seats assigned to seniors and handicapped. It is courtesy to leave those seats empty for them. Such seats are located at the end of each train block. There may be people selling merchandise or begging, but please do not give/buy from them. At each station, there will be announcement in both Korean and English. Also many have displays on the ceiling that indicate the next station. You can find a current train station map in the magazine In the Zone or the website http:// www.seoulmetro.co.kr/eng

Subway Korea App

“Korea subway system information is now available for both Android and iPhone users, just use your mobile App finder or Google the words ‘Subway Korea App’ and download for the latest, most up-to-date info.”

Train stations that are close to USFK camps: • CRC, Stanley – Uijeongbu (line 1) • Casey – Bosan (line 1) • Yongsan Garrison – Samgakji (line 6) & Noksapyeong (line 6) For example, if you want to go to Camp Casey, which is close to Bosan station, take the metro line # 1 to get to Uijeongbu Station, and then take a train bound for Soyosan station. It is easier to see direction if you look at the next station name.

Ganeung station should be the next station so you have to take the train that goes to Ganeung station next. You do not need to transfer to any other lines since both Uijeongbu and Bosan are in the same line, line 1.

Train stations that you may want to visit: • Itaewon (line 6) – Popular among foreigners (international food/clothing) • Gangnam (line 2) – Popular among young Koreans (Yes, where Psy was talking about) • Gyeongbokgung (line 3) – Korean traditional palace • Seoul Station (line 1) – Where you can take KTX and other trains • Myeong-dong (line 4) – Shopping place

Bus, Subway & T-Money

T-Money T-money is a transportation card as well as a device used to pay for taxi fares and, in some cases, transactions at convenience stores. The T-money function is often added onto various payment (credit/debit) and discount travel cards. This card can be used on public buses and subways in several different metropolitan cities and locations including Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Daejeon, Incheon, Daegu and Busan.

When using T-money, the public transportation fare is 100 won cheaper than when paying with cash; and, unlike cash fares, T-money can be used when transferring from one bus to another, one subway line to another, or from bus to subway or vice versa (within a transfer time limit) at no extra charge. Also, T-money does away with the hassle of purchasing single journey subway tickets. When you are finished using your T-money card, the remaining balance can be refunded after a 500 won service charge.

Where Can I Purchase These Cards?

• Price: From 2,500 won and up Convenience stores (GS 25, CU, 7-Eleven, Mini Stop, With Me, Buy The Way, Story Way) bearing the T-money logo, and ticket vending and card reload devices inside subway stations.

Recharging T-money Cards The T-money card is rechargeable in amounts ranging from 1,000 won to 90,000 won (maximum value the card can hold is 500,000 won) at any of the T-money vendors or ticket vending and card reload devices inside subway stations.

1. Select your preferred language 2. Touch the “T-money Card” box on the right side of the screen.

3. Place your T-money card on the recharging pad.

4. Select the amount of money you wish to recharge.

5. Pay the total recharge amount. The device takes 1,000/5,000/10,000-won bills and 50/100/500-won coins.

6. Wait briefly while the device recharges your T-money card. Once the card is recharged, confirm its balance.

How To Receive T-money Refund For a remaining T-money balance of 20,000 won or less, you may receive a refund following a 500 won service fee at a partner convenience store (GS 25, CU, 7-Eleven, Mini Stop, With Me, Buy The Way) bearing the T-money logo. If the remaining balance exceeds 20,000 won, you may receive a refund at the T-money Headquarters (1F of Korea Smart Card Corporation Ltd.*), therefore it is recommended for you to recharge only as much as you will need. T-money cards are not returnable, however they make good souvenirs to remember a trip to Korea. For more information, please visit the official T-money website and click “Foreigner Registration.”

How To Use T-money • BUS 1. Upon boarding the bus, place your T-money card on the sensor bearing the T-money logo located at the front of the bus until it beeps. The sensor will display the amount charged on the top and the remaining balance at the bottom.

2. Before getting off the bus, place the T-money card on the sensor located at the back of the bus until it beeps. It will display any additional charges, which are levied by distance traveled, and can now be used for free transfers within a specific time limit.

• SUBWAY 1. Place your T-money card on the sensor bearing the T-money logo located on top of each of the subway turnstiles until it beeps. The sensor will display the amount charged on the top and the remaining balance at the bottom. If you are transferring, the amount charge may appear as “0” (zero).

2. Place the T-money card on the sensor until it beeps when exiting through the turnstiles. It will display any additional charges, which are levied by distance traveled, and can now be used for free transfers within a specific time limit.

• TAXI These days, many taxis accept payment via T-money card. In general, the payment terminal is affixed between the driver’s seat and the passenger seat. Inform the taxi driver that you want to pay with a T-money card, tap your card on the terminal, and your taxi fare will be automatically paid from your T-money card’s balance.

However, if the fare is more than your T-money balance, your full T-money balance will be deducted from the taxi fare and you will have to pay the remaining fare via different means.

• TRANSFER DISCOUNTS Transfer discounts are applied on bus/subway fares only when using T-money. For instance, when transferring while traveling within a 10km distance, if you use T-money, the transfer is free. This is a much better deal than using cash, as you would have to pay the basic fare each time you transfer.

You can transfer a maximum of four times and the valid amount of time for the transfer discount is limited to 30 minutes after tapping the T-money card. (*The transfer time limit is extended to 1 hour during the period between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. of the next day) • NOTE 1) For children and youth card users, you are required to register your card with your birth date in order to receive the discounted fare (ID check required).

2) A fine of 30 times or more of the basic price of a T-money card will be imposed for unjust uses, i.e., adults using a child and/or youth card in order to get the discounted fare.

The Korean Spoken and Written Language

The Korean language has evolved throughout the centuries. No one knows how long it has been spoken and, despite the geographical closeness of China and Japan, Korean is linguistically distinct from Chinese and Japanese.

Chinese characters were used to write Korean until the 15th century. However, since they were hard to learn and were very different from the Korean spoken language, most people remained illiterate.

In 1446, after many years of study and testing by the ruler, King Sejong and his

scholars introduced a unique Korean alphabet. It was devised on a purely phonetic basis and consisted of 28 letters.

These were arranged in syllable units or blocks and not into linear words. This meant the syllables could be written horizontally or vertically on a page. Over time from this original alphabet, Hangul, the modern alphabet, has evolved. It has 24 characters and follows the Western convention of writing from left to right.

Chinese characters are rarely used today in conjunction with the Korean alphabet,

especially in newspapers; it is possible to communicate fluently without using them.

During your tour in Korea, you will find ample opportunity to study the Korean language. Many bases have on-duty and off-duty language classes that are offered without charge. Formal classes are also offered on post; check with ACS for details (Also see the Language section in this book).If you would like to get a head start on learning Korean, try some free language course guides from your local library or register at Army e-learning through the link, https:usarmy.skillport.com.

The courses are fun and great for learning the correct pronunciations.

NOTE: If you are not a member of the US Army you may encounter problems registering. If this is the case, wait until you arrive and go to the Library and register/ sign up on the computer system there.

The post libraries offer many language-

learning books, along with audio CDs and DVDs for circulation. The AAFES Main Post Exchange carries similar products as well as useful phrase books and Korean language computer programs. (A wonderful book for simply learning to read the alphabet is “Yes, You Can Learn Korean Language Structure in 40 minutes.”)

English has been taught in Korean schools starting in the 1st grade since 1998. In the past, English was taught in Korean schools beginning in the 7th grade with an emphasis on grammar instead of speaking. The mainly testing- oriented educational system means that many Koreans have memorized a lot of English grammar and vocabulary, but feel quite shy about their conversational skills. When you talk to Koreans in English, speak slowly and simply to increase your chances of being understood. * Tear out page at back of Warrior’s Guide Book.

USEFUL KOREAN PHRASES The following Korean phrases may assist you during your tour in Korea. They are simple conversational words and phrases designed for newcomers. Koreans will be impressed you have made the effort to learn even a little of their language. The key is not being afraid to try and having the ability to laugh at yourself.

The Korean Spoken and Written Language

Korean Numbers Chinese numbers are often used when counting sequentially. This includes money, telephone numbers, dates, mileage, etc. When shopping, listen for the Chinese numbers, particularly for the endings which mean hundred, thousand and ten thousand. Notice that Korean numbers go as far as 99. Beyond 100, Chinese numbers are used. When counting how many people, use Korean numbers.

Sometimes in the smaller restaurants the prices will be written in the Chinese figures, usually from top to bottom. The following chart offers a brief glimpse of some of the differences in the two systems: Number

Korean Culture & Customs

South Korea’s population shares a common ethnic and cultural heritage.

Intense feelings of nationalism, so evident in athletic events like the 1988 Olympic Games held in Seoul and the World Cup soccer games of 2002, reveal a sense of pride concerning South Korea’s place in the world. More than Western people, South Korean individuals tend to view themselves as a tightly knit national community with a common destiny. This chapter contains sections on Korean personality traits, factors that have contributed to making

them the way they are, and discussions of important traditions, cultural attitudes, and etiquette. Your awareness of these factors will greatly reward you as you meet and interact with new Korean friends.

Korean Culture & Customs

Korean Non-Verbal Behavior and Etiquette Customs and attitudes are different in Asia from those of Western countries.

Korea has its own set of courtesies. If you take the time to learn and observe them, the rewards are significant.

The traditional bow has given way to the handshake, but friendly backslaps or arm squeezing is considered rude here.

Koreans meeting for the first time introduce themselves only at the invitation of a third party. The formal ritual of introduction is similar to this: The person who knows everyone in the group invites his friends to introduce themselves. One says, “I am seeing you for the first time.”

The other repeats the same sentence, and the elder one suggests that they introduce themselves. The introductions and formal bows are followed by an exchange of calling/business cards. These cards are very important in Korea. They give an opportunity for each person to discover the other’s position without rudely inquiring about them. Cards also do away with the need of asking someone’s name twice. When someone presents you with a business card, take a moment to read it before putting it away as a sign of respect.

The proper use of names in Korea is also important. A person’s name is considered his or her personal property. Koreans regard their name with reverence. The persistent wave of Westernization has accustomed Koreans to being addressed by their family name, but only intimate friends and family greet each other on a firstname basis. Koreans prefer titles rather

than names. For example, you would call the company president “Sa-jang-nim” or someone with a Ph.D. “Bak-sa.” Teacher or “Sun-saeng-nim” is an acceptable title for anyone.

Try to remember that no matter how “Western” many Koreans may appear on the surface, their thinking is still governed by traditions, which are based on a culture several thousands of years old.

The following list covers some important traditions relating to etiquette: • Avoid eye contact. Looking into an acquaintance’s eyes was generally considered not polite. This is not necessarily true today.

• Use the right hand when performing tasks such as presenting gifts, paying a bill, or pouring a drink. Using the left hand is considered very impolite, but Koreans do understand that Western culture is different.

• Do not point the index finger toward a person or gesture with your foot, it is considered insulting. You may gesture with your full hand, palm upward.

• Do not write someone’s name in red ink, i.e., endorse checks, letters, etc. (name written in red means death).

• If invited to dine at someone’s home, bring a gift. When presenting the gift, use your right hand. Place your left hand below your right forearm near your elbow (as though holding back a loose sleeve).

• Take your shoes off when entering a Korean house or restaurant with low tables.

24 25

• Do not start eating before your guest of honor or senior.

• Do not say, “I don’t drink” when offered unwanted alcoholic beverages. It is more polite to say, “I’m not feeling very well today,” “I am a designated driver,” or “I’m on medication.”

• Karaoke is very big in Korea. Sing one of your favorite songs when asked.

• Do not eat or drink without offering your food or beverage to your colleagues.

Do not pour your own drink; pour for someone and let him reciprocate.

• Try to wear conservative clothes.

• Ask your Korean guest more than once to help himself to more food and drink.

• See your guest off at the gate, and stay there until your guest is gone.

• “Yes” is often used simply to

acknowledge what is said by one’s counterpart; it does not necessarily mean one is in agreement or understanding.

• Do not suggest splitting the bill. Just remember when it is your turn to pay.

• You may often see two male friends or two female friends walking affectionately arm-in-arm. This is in no way an indication of their sexual preference.

• Remember the Koreans will want to touch and hold your children when you are out together (especially blondes and redheads). Koreans love children and in this culture, children are treated as “everyone’s treasure” to cherish and protect. If your children are uncomfortable with this, then remove yourselves from the situation as politely as possible. A simple “No, thank you” usually suffices.

Traditional Korean Meals

비빔밥 BIBIMBAP

Either plain or cooked with other grains, rice is the main dish at most Korean meals.

Rice is accompanied by a variety of side dishes. Favorite side dishes include bean paste soup, roasted beef and fish, as well as steamed and seasoned vegetables. Soy sauce, soybean paste, red pepper paste, ginger root, sesame oil and sesame seeds are other seasonings which are essential to Korean food.

Famed as a Korean treat is Kimch’i, a dish of highly seasoned pickled cabbage or turnip served at most every meal. Koreans favor beef dishes, with Bulgogi being one of the most popular. It is known as

“Korean barbecue” and consists of thin slices of beef marinated and then cooked on a grill over hot charcoal. The marinating sauce is made of soy sauce, sesame seed oil, garlic and other seasonings. Cooked in the same manner, but using short ribs instead of beef slices, is another wellknown dish called Kalbi.

The traditional Korean homemaker believes that much of her family’s happiness depends on her culinary expertise. She often begins her day by preparing a substantial breakfast of hearty soup, meat or fish, steamed rice and kimch’i. A light lunch follows which is

WARRIOR’S GUIDE Your Family & MWR Welcome Packet to Korea

26 27

similar to the breakfast fare. A generous evening meal is favored, consisting of up to 15 or 20 dishes for special occasions.

Food is usually eaten with a pair of chopsticks and a large spoon.

Holiday celebrations are an important part of family life in Korea. All celebrations, no matter how large, center on the home.

Women can spend hours preparing the traditional dishes; sometimes a family’s reputation depends on the amount and quality of the food.

At an elegant Korean dinner, the first course might be Ku-jol-p’an (nine compartments dish). It is somewhat similar to a French hors d’oeuvre tray. The cooked meat and vegetables are arranged on a large platter with a mound of pancakes in the center.

Homemakers in Korea, like many others in advanced nations, usually have little time to prepare these traditional foods and are well acquainted with frozen fare, microwave lunches, and other high tech cooking conveniences. Fast food restaurants, Chinese takeout/delivery (speedily brought on the back of a motor scooter with a heated box strapped to the back) and food stalls for the passerby are very popular for the busy Korean housewife.

A visitor to Korea will find native food offered in small restaurants, in large hotels, and in gourmet sections of large department stores, such as Lotte or Shinsegae. “TRY IT, you’ll enjoy it!” In fact, Korean supermarkets usually have sample stations scattered throughout, where they will encourage everyone to try their wares.

Korean Festivals

DONGDUCHEON K-Rock Festival Period Every August Location Dongducheon Sports Complex Event Composition Professional Rock Performances and High School/University Rock Competitions Host Dongducheon Rock Festival Committee Homepage www.krock21.net

Korean rock started in the late 1950s with Sin Jung-Hyeon and his band from Dongducheon, who first developed a distinctly Korean style of rock and roll.

During the 1970s, music was heavily censored by the government; nonetheless, other Korean rock artists such as Sanulrim, thrived until the late ‘70s, but from the 1980s, musical tastes had moved away from rock music in favor of dance music and also by heavy metal music in the form of ‘Boohwal, Baeddoosan and Sinawe’ collectively known as the Big 3.

Rock music was revived in the early ‘90s with democratization following the election

of President Roh Tae-woo. As information flowed more freely into the country, Korean youth were exposed to decades of popular foreign music in a short span of time, with some forming their own bands. Two of the earliest bands were Crying Nut and No Brain, which introduced the country to a variety of new genres in a localized blend called “Chosun Punk.” With increased globalization and access to the Internet, the music scene diversified and incorporated more styles of music. Nowadays, the City of Dongducheon hosts an Annual Rock Music Competition every August.

This competition frequently draws more than 50,000 local and international rock musicians, from amateur to professional bands and their fans, come together to celebrate the birthplace of Korean Rock.

What to Do if you have an Emergency.

Living off-post can be difficult if you have a medical emergency. The thing to remember is to remain calm.

To call for Medical Emergencies from off-post you must dial 119. This is a Korean Ambulance that will take you to the nearest Host Nation Hospital. The DOD Post Ambulance can not respond off-post.

If you live off-post you must call the Korean Fire Department. They also use 119 as the emergency number.

If you need assistance from the Korean Police then you must dial 112. The Military Police can respond off-post, from your cell phone dial 031-869-5096 and this will call the on-post 911 service line.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY The emergency dispatch off-post for medical and fire is 119 (Korean Police is 112); however, you can dial (02)-1339 from any landline or cell phone to reach an Englishspeaking emergency dispatch.

In the instance of a medical emergency, a Korean ambulance will be dispatched to take the patient to the nearest Host Nation Partnership Hospital. The DOD Post Ambulance cannot respond to off-post emergencies. For Area I, the only Host Nation Partnership Hospital is St. Mary’s in Uijeongbu. **For those enrolled in TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) Prime and are seen at a Host Nation Partner Hospital, there will be no upfront costs. ** For those not enrolled in TOP Prime, or if you are seen at a non-partner host nation hospital, the costs for medical treatment are paid upfront. Afterwards, file your claim and receipts with TRICARE for partial to full reimbursement (based on your TRICARE plan) at DSN 05033-36-7236 ** For more information about TRICARE coverage plans and Host Nation Partnership Hospitals, visit http://www.korea.amedd.army.mil/tricare
