LA LUCE - RESTAURANT REVIEW

Fine Dining in Daegu has a new name ~ La Luce L

Written by Lee Flory / Photos by Ivan Broida

a Luce is a beautiful, spacious restaurant located just across the street from Kyungpook University Hospital. Kim Sun Il, the 27-year-old owner and head chef has put together an incredible menu featuring “contemporary European cuisine.” If that seems like too broad a definition don’t worry, this is not some new age fusion style eatery. Fantastic dishes with roots in Italy, Spain and Greece are all represented as they should be; without any contrived mixing and matching. Whatever you choose to order, it will be authentic and prepared with great care and attention to tradition.

Chef Kim, who was recently named one of the top young chef ’s in the country by Vogue Korea, spent the last two years honing his craft in Seoul. Feeling ready to run his own establishment, he decided to come to Daegu, his mother’s hometown. And so, along with two close friends/coworkers from

6

Itaewan, (and his mom, who works with him in the kitchen) he opened La Luce. The fact that the owner and his employees are friends and family adds a very pleasant, close-knit vibe to the environment.

He explains that he wants to give his customers a fine dining experience with casual prices.

The fine dining experience he speaks of is apparent not just in the food, but in the service and atmosphere as well. Six wooden four-top tables and a large banquette are spaced wide apart in the huge dining area.

The sparsely decorated walls are painted a warm yellow. Only a

small counter divides the dining room from the kitchen, so you can look in on the action no matter where you sit.

As soon as we were seated our waitress presented us with a basket of warm rosemary focaccia with a small saucer of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. Next we received a perfectly assembled caprese salad. As simple a dish as it is, this one is a cut above in the quality department. Bright red tomatoes bursting with flavor combined with top-notch buffalo mozzarella and dressed with oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil leaves (ripped, not chopped, of course); it was just the thing to whet our appetites for what would be a sensational meal.

LA LUCE - RESTAURANT REVIEW which are big enough for two people, cost between 10,000 and 17,000. Desserts all cost under 5,000. Heineken, Moretti and Guiness are the only beers available and cost 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 respectively. Glasses of house red or white wine are only 5,000, but if you fancy yourself a sommelier then check out La Luce’s impressive, all Italian wine list. A bottle will run you anywhere from 15,000 to 191,000.

The first main dish we sampled was the Burger David. It seemed like a standard cheeseburger at first blush, but like most of the things on the menu at La Luce, it had a few gourmet tricks up its sleeve. The patty, made from top grade Han-woo beef was topped with aged cheddar, caramelized onions and whole grain mustard.

We had trouble choosing a pasta dish (there’s at least ten different ones on the menu), so our waitress recommended the Gnocchi di Patate. It did not disappoint. It came in a rich cream sauce, and the gnocchi, which is made on the premises, was the ideal texture; soft, but not at all mushy. Next we got the Coca de Senorita, a gigantic piece of flat bread piled high with seasonal vegetables and bacon. Visually, it’s a sight to be-

hold; huge and as colorful as can be. Leafy mixed greens, tomatoes, red onions and yellow peppers on top of the fresh baked bread.

Throw some bacon into the mix and you’re in flavor country.

Because the Coca de Senorita is so big, you probably shouldn’t bother with it unless you have three or more people in your party. For the grand finale, we were treated to a panful of paella with fresh mussels, giant shrimp, squid and octopus served on top of a bed of delicious, fluffy saffron rice. If you are craving a taste of Spain, then this is surely the way to go.

Chef Kim’s vision of fine dining and casual prices has been realized. Not one of the 18 main dishes available cost more than 22,000 Won per person, and most of them are in the 13,00016,000 range.

The salads,

The easiest way to get to La Luce is by subway. Take the green line to the Kyungpook University Hospital stop (one stop from Banwoldang) then walk two blocks north. It is located on the second

floor of the Bun Hong Bitseu Ro Building, directly across from the hospital. If you prefer to take a taxi, tell the driver “Kyungpookdae-hokbyeoung-won.”

Chef Kim’s gorgeous restaurant is not to be missed. From the moment you step into La Luce, you will be treated to superior service, friendly faces and of course, great food. Check it out soon!

WELCOME TO KOREA - TIPS AND HELP

Welcome to Korea – tips for fun!

Here’s Some Help A Written by Stevie Baker / Photos submitted by Stevie Baker

s my time in Korea comes to a close, I've taken a lot of time to reflect on the things I've learned and done here. There are many resources that I've come across in my time here and many things I've learned that I wish I had known when I first arrived. Here is some helpful information for those of you just arriving and hopefully a few things for those of you who have been here for a while.

what you want. Learn to read Korean. There's no reason not to, it takes almost no time to learn the alphabet and you can take classes very inexpensively through the Daegu YMCA. Look up Daegu YMCA “Lets Learn Korean” on facebook. While you're at it, you can sign up for Minhwa (Korean art) classes, drum classes and various other things. The YMCA is a great resource.

Education First things first, learn to read Korean. You don't need to learn to speak the language fluently to survive here, Korea really caters to English speakers, but you must learn to read hangeul (the name of the Korean alphabet). The reason is simple, when Korean words on signs are written in English they are often not written the way you would pronounce them in Korean. Do yourself a favour, make it easier for taxi drivers and Koreans to understand you and

Be Social Get out there and get involved.

The Daegu Expat community is great and it's easy to find people with similar interests. When it comes to getting involved, Facebook (love it or hate it) is going to be your best friend while you're here. No matter what you're into, there's a group here for you to get involved with. From theatre, music, softball and frisbee to bowling, art, photography and rugby you can find it on Facebook (Daegu Info Guide).

Food Something people struggle with here after they settle in is a lack of the ingredients and food they are used to. These days, in Daegu we have a lot more options for foreign food than when I arrived in the restaurant scene. For those of you who like to cook, the following places are going to be a big help to you: Buy the Book Cafe – you can get curry pastes, chick peas, cumin, deodorant, whole wheat flower and a selection of goods that is growing all the time. Costco – if you're lucky enough to have a “normal” sized fridge and freezer, Costco can be a great place to get chicken breast, frozen berries and vegetables, salmon fillets and tuna canned in water instead of oil. High Street Market – yes, it is in Seoul, but if you're in Seoul for the weekend it's worth a trip, they have great cheese, cuts of meat and cooking supplies. Iherb – iherb.com is a great resource for vitamins, spices, seasonings and vegetarian and vegan supplies. Traditional markets – if you're lucky enough to live close to a traditional market learn your numbers and get your fruit, vegetables and tofu there.

We frequently get a weeks work of veg and tofu for around 7,000 won. You can't beat it.

Travelling I LOVE to travel and chances are you do, too. I've have travelled extensively through Korea and the following resources have been a huge help. Naver Maps – maps. naver.com for this, you are going

8

WELCOME TO KOREA - TIPS AND HELP to have to either read Korean or have a good sense of direction.

Naver maps can be used to find out the best routes to wherever you're going in cities across Korea.

It tells you the best routes from point A to B via subway and bus.

It will also tell you how much money it will cost in a taxi in normal traffic. It has saved my life countless times. At the top left of the screen there are two buttons the one marked “길찾기” will pop up a menu that gives you various transit options, just click on the little upside down tear shaped markers and place them on the map. It will calculate your route for you. For your train needs go to korail.com. You can see the schedules and prices for all three types of trains across the country.

Another tip is you can buy family seats on the KTX. If you're travelling with four people you can buy

a table seat that will easily save each person you're travelling with 10,000 won or more. If travelling by bus kobus.co.kr is similar to the KTX site. It doesn't show all the bus routes in the country, but it shows a lot which is really helpful. Love motels are cheap and great way to travel. They usually

have computers in the rooms, a big bathtub and space to lounge. If you're headed to another city for a big festival weekend, it's helpful to know that love motels can and should be booked in advance or you could end up spending triple what you're used to. continued on p11

DAEGU NIGHTLIFE

DAEGU IS SHUFFL’N, SHUFFL’N Written by Jennifer Chaussee / Photos by Scott McLaughlin

22:00 is the witching hour in Daegu. Once the minute hand grants the hour, shop owners bolt towards their front doors with their coats on and their keys in hand. By 22:30 the lights are out and the music is off but the city is anything but dead. Just a few blocks away in the Samduk area of downtown, the daytime shoppers and opalescent makeup ads have been replaced with leather-skirtand-studded-jeans-wearing crowds sipping neon liquid from tall plastic bag drinks amid a throng of pulsing dance clubs and their matching neon signs. At night, a whole new kind of circus comes to life for Daegu’s night crawlers. There’s something for everyone.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Korean or a foreigner, if you drink wine or soju or nothing but coffee, if you want to dance, chill, or play darts all night. Samduk’s nightlife caters to all cravings and curiosities.

Besides the host of throbbing dance clubs filled with smoke and mirrors, there are quaint pubs foaming over with the good cheer of clinking pint glasses, closetsized bag drink bars where you choose your liquor-to-mixer ratio, velvety cocktail bars nodding to the beats of local DJs, jazzy candle-lit wine cellars, and sobering triple-decker late-night coffee shops chock full of bespectacled iPad carriers. But first, the food.

Before heading out to get your drink on, you’ll want to stop at 10

one of the many late-night grub joints. Trust me on this. You’ll need the energy and the sustenance to keep up with the onslaught of cheap, strong drinks and endless dancing.

If you’re hoping to catch the last subway downtown at about 23:00, you can kill some time before the hot spots get busy by heading to Traveller’s Bar and Grill for one of their amazing burgers or a plate of chicken wings, both equally beloved by expats. This pub spot is usually packed with expats and has the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of your favorite hometown bar. You can mingle around the pool table or jump in on a game yourself.

If you’re craving Mediterranean, Star Kebab is one of the rare spots in Daegu where you can find authentic Turkish foods like the staple lamb kebab, creamy hummus with baguette, and falafel.

If you’re lucky you might run into Magic, downtown’s friendly magic man who will sit at your table, flirt with your friends, and steal your jewelry without even touching you. But no worries, he gives it all back before he leaves. After you’re fueled and ready, it’s time to get

your drink on.

Head to one of the swanky lounges to get a feel for the finer thingsof downtown. If it’s wine you’re wanting, you can count on the D bar for a comprehensive list of commendable wines kept at appropriate temperatures in a legitimate wine cave. Bottles from every spectrum of viticulture and top grape-growing regions of the world are priced anywhere from a 100,000 KRW to 37,000 KRW. Corks are popped and poured by knowledgeable staff with a side of crackers and nuts. This is a great place to go for an expensive but intimate date, where you can be surrounded by melting candles, brick walls, soft blankets, private enclaves, and classic jazz.

For a more group-friendly environment, take your posse to one of several mellow lounges

continued on p12

DAEGU NIGHTLIFE General Korea What's Happening A great resource for being in Korea is the www.visitkorea.or.kr .

Some of the articles are out of date, but they tend to have links to updated websites. Korea is festival city, nearly every month there's a great festival somewhere in the country and you can check them all out here http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/festival . Another great way to learn about life here or other cities you may want to visit are blogs. Some of my favourites include tigersandmagpies. com, briandeutsch.blogspot. com and bathouseballads – elwood5566.net.

Not To Be Missed I want to leave you with a few things I did in my time in Korea that I feel are not to be missed.

Some I expected to be amazing, others were a total surprise.

Korea Independence Hall is the best museum I have been to in Korea, for some unknown reason it is located in Cheonan, but it is amazing and well worth the trip. If you're going to go to any museum in the country, go to this one.

Jeju Island: I didn't believe the hype. I thought it would be nice, but nothing special. I was so very, very wrong. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited and anyone who tells you that you can't get around easily on a bus is crazy. Staying in a Minbak and seeing the traditional fireworks at the Andong Maskdance Festival. This was incredible.

The festival is great because you can see dances from all over the world, but the fireworks were really something. It was completely

unexpected and beautiful. Do it, do it, do it! 5.18 National Cemetery in Gwangju. At the cemetery grounds there is a GREAT museum that explains the 5.18 massacre in detail as well as houses some heart wrenching objects, video and radio broadcasts. Gyeongju – I won't get into this here because you will most certainly go and everything you see will be amazing.

This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to resources that our there for you while you're here in South Korea, but hopefully knowing about these right off the bat will help you settle in quickly and start thinking about things you want to do while you're here.

Embrace Korea, enjoy your time here and explore, I most certainly did.

DAEGU NIGHTLIFE cover charge at the door ranging from 5,000-15,000 KRW. Ironically, this cost is usually waved for foreigners. Depending on the night, the size of your group, and the mood of the bouncers, this free admittance is either granted without request or after some easy negotiating. Here you’ll find a more authentic and localized experience among the mostlyKorean crowd.

bars to order a gin and tonic and enjoy the remixed house beats and morecandle-lit ambience. This is a great way to start the night if you’re looking to take it easy and look hot over a few sweaty rum and cokes before getting reckless at a triple-decker dance spot.

A word about DJ’s in Daegu.

There are plenty of funky beats to get you dancing in Daegu but the lack of monetary incentives paid to DJ’s by clubs and bars makes it hard to attract a wealth of experienced DJ’s. As compared with big-budget clubs in Seoul and Busan, where DJ’s can expect to make upwards of 20,000-200,000 KRW per hour for their sets, many Daegu clubs and bars offer little-to-no pay, though most offer free drinks to their DJ’s. Luckily, you can still find a variety of styles around downtown and the best way to find your favorite is to go out and visit a healthy smattering of clubs to see which DJ’s get you going.

When you’re on the prowl, don’t forget to check out Loca, Daegu’s brand new dance club. You won’t want to miss it for it’s fresh take on the classic elements of the downtown scene.

12

Large clubs like Monkey usually give their DJ’s pre-selected set lists, while some of the slower venues usually allow for a bit more artistic expression and experimentation on the part of the DJ. Expat DJ’s AronFreitag, CrisRtek, and John Lockley are regulars on the scene and can be found at places like Kush, Apple Lounge, and G2 on most weekends. They play progressive house and tech house.

At Pasha you can rely on the predictable set of LMFAO remixes to keep you shufflin.’ The sweaty walls, energetic crowd, on-stage dancing, and the hazy light shows will be enough to distract you from the occasional rough transition or missed drop. For hip-hop mixes that bring you back to the days when you first heard 50 Cent or Lil Wayne, you can count on Club Frog. Here you’ll find a bar on all threefloors and you can scout out the dance pit from the third floor balcony after stashing your bags and coats in a locker downstairs for a meager 2,000 KRW. You’ll want to wind up here around 3 a.m. or later to get the best of the crowd and the music.

These clubs technically have a

But if you’re looking for a more expat-centered experience you can step foot into one of the everpopular Thursday Parties. Almost everyone is a foreigner and the space is close and cozy. The vibe here is almost identical to that of the fraternity parties you went to in college. Lots of polo shirts and levi jeans, with a few couples making out in the corner or across the shuffle board. This is where memories are made and then soon forgotten.

Now, a word about timing.

Clubs and bars in Daegu don’t really close. Or, so it seems. The nightlife of downtown warms up at around 22:30 and just begins to get hot around midnight or later.

The dance clubs can keep you going until sunrise. If you’re real energized or just a dedicated night owl, you mine as well start late and keep dancing until the first subway comes, saving you the cost of a taxi ride home. So go dig up that pleather skirt you wore in college, get a close shave, and stop off at the ATM before setting foot into the wild rumpus.

Good luck out there.

DAEGU VENUES

We do it LIVE: DAEGU Venues Written by Sanita Saengvilay / Photos by Scott McLaughlin, Ben May (Club That) and Champs

Miss going to live shows? Want to show everyone how great you are at shredding at the guitar? Well move your body to one of these venues and sit back and enjoy the tunes.

Commune’s Lonely Hearts Club

Commune’s, what the cool kids call it, is an underground bar that easily converts to a music venue, you can do so just by simply looking over to the corner where all the amps are placed. A hop skip away from SamDeok or the Fire Station, it’s a quick and easy stop over for beginning or end of the night. It’s relatively small and minimal seating so optimal for dancing parties of 20 people or less. Also great for sing-alongs and impromptu jam sessions. Mostly local bands perform on the weekends, but they do have an open mic night during the week. Go to the bar to check out monthly schedules for when there is live music.

Otherwise, it’s a good bar for chilling and listening to indie music.

Club That

The one venue that isn’t located underground, located above Thursday Party, Club That is a must go for live music and jazz lovers. Containing probably the biggest stage for bands to perform on and a floor space that can fit up to 30 people or plenty of seating too if you so choose to.

Mostly local bands, but national acts also perform at Club That. The bar is great for big groups too. Cover charge ranges from $10-$15 depending on the band. Check out the bar’s calendar for events.

Urban

Don’t miss Urban with its big graffiti style sign. Located on the same street and in between both Thursday Parties, walk downstairs and this disco ball, laser beam light show venue is not what you would have suspected it to be. It is one of the bigger venues in Daegu and it includes an actual stage and floor space that can fit upwards to 60 people on it. It has seating, but much more limited on show days. Sound can be a bit tinny in spots so ears plugs are a recommendation or try not to stand directly in front of the speakers. International acts come every few months and local bands perform weekly including an open mic night.

Covers range from $10-$15 depending on the bands. This colorful place is a must know for any music lover. Check out the bar for a calendar of events.

14

DAEGU VENUES

Champs

The newest venue on the block, located underground and across the street from Greek’s. This sport bar themed is currently the shiniest place of the bunch. The bar has a small corner stage, but plenty of seating throughout. Dance space in front of the stage may fit 15 people, but you can pretty much dance wherever you want. DJ sets occur more frequently than live band shows, but the venue is slowly building a repertoire. Cover charges for bands range from $5 - $10. Local bands perform every so often, so check out the bar’s calendar.

Sugar Joe’s

Outside of downtown in Kyungpook University area there is Sugar Joe’s. One of the most popular places for small intimate shows that feature the likes of Han Solo and other local acts. Sugar Joe’s is located on the main road across from Kyungpook Buk Moon. Walk up the hill on the main road and it’s on your right. They have open mic nights and bands will come through on the weekend. Check it out!

KAFC - WELCOME NEW FRIENDS

Welcome to the Korean American Friendship Circle

Written by Shin,Seong jin Photo by G9 19th ESC

T

he Republic of Korea and the United States of America has one of the strongest relationships in the world and this truth can be seen through our unwavering support between both nations.

Even though both our nations are brothers in arms, throughout this time, we’ve forgotten the importance of the ROK-US Alliance and made the mistake of thinking that this alliance comes free without any effort.

As a student participant and future leader of Korea, the Korean American Friendship Circle (KAFC) provides a means to emphasize the importance of this alliance and help gain a deeper understanding through social and cultural exchange. Through the KAFC activities we are able to understand each other’s culture and traditions and build a stronger camaraderie between both nations.

At first, it was difficult for me to start the KAFC not only because of our language barriers but also because I was starting something new that included foreigners, so I naturally drew a line between myself and them. But as the Americans showed such hospitality and extended their hand in friendship, I was embarrassed of judging without truly understanding. So I learned what it meant when people said that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

After the Opening Ceremony of the 17th KAFC, the 19th 16

ESC graciously invited us to a St Patrick’s Day Event. St Patrick’s Day celebration is a Christian feast in honor of the patron saint Patrick of Ireland. The tradition originates in Ireland. As Irish immigrants moved to England and the United States they continued the tradition. As with many traditions in America, the holidays and customs immigrants brought with them from their home countries were merged in two and later became the American traditions they celebrate today.

All the participants of the 17th KAFC appreciated the chance to experience a different culture through the St. Patrick’s Day event that the 19th ESC hosted on March 17, 2012. Cultural

exchange activities like the St. Patrick’s Day event helps us learn each other’s culture and through more cultural exchange activities we will be able build a stronger relationship and gain a deeper understanding of each other.

Although the ROK-US Alliance is one of the strongest alliances in the world, both our countries experience difficulty because of social and cultural differences.

This can pose a great issue if Korea were to ever go to war. So the understanding of both language and cultural is that much more important to ensure we have the ability to fight together as allied forces and have the strength of one nation.

KAFC - WELCOME NEW FRIENDS identical ideals when it comes to freedom, justice and human rights.

Our alliance is one of the strongest in the world and is very important in the volatile future. I believe in the past, the relationship between Korea and America was based on needs following the Korean War.

COL. Chadbourn answered on my questions.

Q: I want to know about your opinion about the importance of the KAFC program and how much impact it has on our two nations?

I think KAFC is important because it helps us build a new kind of relationship between Koreans and Americans. One of understanding and mutual respect through personal relationships. Although our two nations have very different cultures, we have almost

However, due to the resiliency of the Korean people, your country has become one of the greatest nations in the world. It is still important that we continue to have a strong alliance to ensure both our nations futures are stable, safe and secure.

I believe together we can accomplish this goal. Which is why we always say, "We Go Together!�

HOI AN - VIETNAM - SHOP - EAT - GO

Hoi An, Vietnam: Shop, Eat, and Go. Written by Mandy Shimizu / Photos by Christopher Cote / Translated by Siron Jang

S

hopping: Normally, I am not a big shopper, but Downtown Hoi An made it fun, cheap, and interesting. One can easily wander the streets all day and still not burn out. The people in Vietnam are active and bustling, so at the very least you can have a drink and people watch. Even if you only have one day to spend in Hoi An, I suggest that you check out the local markets, because they will really give you a feel of the town and its people. Ladies, be sure to check out all the jewelry and clothes you can, because you can't find jewelry and silk clothing this cute and inexpensive anywhere.

Also, I scored a lot of really awesome art to decorate my drab apartment walls. I am all about trying to make sure that I find souvenirs with a little authenticity, so it was really cool to find original art, with a true point of view, as well some retro propaganda prints.

And if you like to make purchases that help others you should seek out the Lifestart Foundation Workshop. The way it works is that the organization helps organize local people to make goods to sell to tourists like me. The idea is that instead of just throwing money at a problem within a community to give temporary relief, this foundation helps the people become more independent and self-sustaining as they learn how to take their skills to create a product and sell it. Often times you can even meet the people, who are creating these products, right in the store. (I bought great coasters) Check out this website for more details: www.lifestartfounda18

tion.org.au 쇼핑: 평소 난 쇼핑을 그렇게 좋 아하지 않지만 호이안 시내에서 의 쇼핑은 재미있고 값도 저렴하 고 흥미로웠다. 누구나 하루 종 일 거리를 쉽게 돌아다닐 수 있 고 지치지도 않는다. 베트남 사 람들은 활기차고 분주해 보인다. 여러분은 차 한 잔 마시면서 그 러한 사람들을 구경할 수 있다.

만약 여러분이 호이안에서 시간 이 하루밖에 없다면, 전통시장 에 가 볼 것을 권한다. 그곳이야 말로 도시와 사람들을 진정 느낄 수 있기 때문이다. 숙녀들이여, 할 수 있는 한 모든 귀금속과 옷 을 살펴보길 바란다. 이렇게 싸 면서도 예쁜 옷과 귀금속은 어디 에도 흔치않다. 나 또한 단조로 운 아파트 벽을 꾸밀 멋진 장식 품을 손에 많이 넣었다. 나는 방

Food. The food in Hoi An is just like the shopping. Never ending, cheap, and delicious. I really recommend visiting Morning Glory, a restaurant named after the popular vegetable, also known as “water spinach.” The food at this restaurant was great and the servings were not too big. Order a lot so you can try a little bit of everything. My favorites were the sautéed morning glory (of course) and the spring rolls, which were the best I ate in Vietnam. If you enjoy the food and want to try your hand in the kitchen and learn to make some of the dishes, there are endless possibilities. In front of half the restaurants there are signs that advertise cooking classes, so do your research and choose which class you are most interested in. I took a class and learned how to make vegetable and prawn spring rolls, my quang, and a banana blossom salad. They even gave me a packet of the recipes so I can recreate it at home. 음식 : 호이안의 음식을 보면 마치 쇼핑하는 것 같다. 싸고 맛있는 것들이 끝이 없을 정도 다. 나는 모닝글로리를 정말로 추천한다. 그 식당은 라우몽(Water spinach)으로 알려진 인 기있는 야채를 본 따 이름 지었다. 이 식당의 음식은 정말 훌륭했고, 1인분은 적당했다. 모 든 음식을 조금씩 맛 볼 수 있도록 다양하게 주문을 하도록 해라. 내가 가장 좋아했던 음식 은 당연히 모닝 글로리 볶음이었고, 춘권(스프 링 롤)은 베트남에서 먹었던 것 중 단연 최고 였다. 여러분이 음식을 좋아하고, 주방에서 직 접 요리 해보면서 다른 음식도 배워보고 싶다 면, 여기에서는 모든 것이 가능하다. 식당 앞 에 요리 교실을 광고하는 간판이 있으니 가장 continued on p20

흥미로운 것들을 골라서 배우면 된다. 나는 요리 교실 시간에 야 채와 왕새우 춘권, 꽝, 그리고 바 나나 꽃 샐러드를 만드는 방법 을 배웠다. 집에서 그것을 다시 만들어 볼 수 있도록 요리책까 지 주었다.

Transport. I visited Hoi An during the Lunar New Year, so it was busier than usual, but I quickly found that the abundant scooters have no fear of cars or running over pedestrians so be careful. If you are brave, you can rent bikes or scooters (I was not brave) to take you around town, to the nearby city of DaNang, or the closest thing the area has to hiking at Marble Mountain (also the place where you can find a marble statue of anything you can imagine). If you are not so brave, taxis are also an inexpensive alternative. My family and I kept a taxi for about 5 hours one day and the total ended up being 35 dollars, which is not a lot for a personal chauffeur for the day.

Although I was not brave enough to bike or scooter, I was coaxed by a very persuasive Vietnamese lady to hop aboard her small rowboat.

I will say it was the most stressful 15 minutes I had in Hoi An, because I constantly felt as if we were going to be capsized. But once it was over, I could appreciate the different and quieter perspective I gained of Hoi An during the float down the river. 교통: 설 연휴동안 호이안을 방 문해서인지 평소보다 더 붐볐다. 하지만 곧 많은 스쿠터들이 차나 보행자에 대해 겁이 없다는 것 을 알아챌 수 있었다. 그러니 조 심해야 겠다. 여러분이 용감하다

면 (난 용감하지 못했다) 자전거 나 스쿠터를 빌려서 시내 곳곳 을 돌아볼 수 있다. 근처 다낭시 나 마블산을 올라 갈 수 있는 가 까운 곳으로 갈 수도 있다. (당신 이 상상할 수 있는 대리석 조각 을 볼 수 있는 곳이다.) 스쿠터를 타고 다닐 만큼 용감하지 않다 면, 택시 또한 비싸지 않아 차선 이 된다. 비록 나는 자전거나 스 쿠터를 타고 다닐 만큼 용감하진 않았지만, 아주 설득력 있는 베 트남 아가씨에게 넘어가서 그녀 가 노 젓는 작은 배에 올라탔다. 배를 타고 가는 15분 동안 계속 배가 뒤집힐 것 같은 느낌을 받 아서, 호이안에서 가장 많은 스 트레스를 받은 시간이었다. 그러 나 무사히 내린 다음에 생각해보 니, 강을 따라내려 오는 동안 호 이안의 다른 면과 조용한 전망을 볼 수 있었던 것 같아 감사하게 생각했다.

Hoi An is a beautiful place from it's people, to the art, food, and landscapes. There are so many things to see and do in Hoi An, these are only the things that I did in my four short days there. So put this on your places to visit list and check out the things I did not have a chance to, like the Hoi An

MAGNIFICENT MALAYSIA

Magnificent Malaysia Written and Photographed by Ciara Keenan / Translated by Suhyun Lee

U

nique - If one word had to be used to describe Malaysia that would have to be it. The epitome of all that accumulates to make Malaysia one of the most incredible places to travel or visit is its fundamental diverse nature and ethos. On the government website it is marketed as ‘Malaysia – truly Asia’ but what beholds one in Malaysia is much more than this alone, it is harmonious multiculturism which is seen in every inch and aspect of daily life. 독특함 – 한 단어로 말레이시아 를 묘사하자면 이 단어가 될 것 이다. 말레이시아를 가장 경이 로운 여행지 가운데 하나로 만드 는 것을 요약하면 그것의 근본적 으로 다양한 자원과 그들의 민족 성이다. 말레이시아 정부의 웹사 이트에는 ‘말레이시아-진정한 아시아’라고 홍보되어 있지만, 말레이시아에서 눈여겨 봐야하 는 것은 이것 뿐만이 아니다. 그 것은 말레이시아의 일상생활 곳 곳에서 엿보이는 조화로운 다문 화성이다.

The country is an amalgamation of cultures and identities. Indian and Malay dominate but there is also an unmistakeable Chinese presence, particularly in the bigger cities. To contemplate travelling this vast and spread out country in its entirety a few months would be needed at the very least, however in a week a number of major attractions can be seen that will more than satisfactorily render a visit worthwhile. 말레이시아는 다양한 문화와 정

22

체성이 융합된 곳이다. 인디안 문화와 말레이 문화가 지배적이 지만 좀 더 큰 도시에서는 중국 문화를 분명히 느낄 수 있다. 이 방대하고 넓은 나라를 전부 여 행하기로 계획한다면, 최소한 몇 달은 걸릴 것이지만, 한 주 동안 여러 주요 명소를 둘러보는 것 만으로도 여행은 충분히 만족할 만큼 가치가 있다.

Geographically Malaysia consists of three federal territories and is made up largely of two land masses divided by the South China Sea, with a number of small islands dotted around the coast lines. The larger of the two central areas is home to the capital, Kuala Lumpur. Flying directly to KL from South Korea will take you around six hours from Seoul Incheon and the cheapest flight operator would be AirAsia. A bus from Kuala Lumpur airport to KL Sentrel costs 9MYR (4,000 SKW) and takes little over 1hour.

There are an abundance of buses

available so booking in advance is not necessary. 지리적으로 말레이시아는 세개 의 연방구역으로 이루어져 있 다. 그리고 그 세개의 연방구는 해안가에 점점이 자리잡은 많은 작은 섬들을 포함하는 남중국해 에 의해 크게 두개의 땅덩어리 로 나뉘어 진다. 두개의 주요구 역 중 더 큰 곳에 수도인 쿠알라 룸프가 있다. 한국에서 인천을 통해 쿠알라룸프로 직항으로 가 면 약 6시간이 걸리고, 가장 저렴 한 항공사는 에어아시아 일 것이 다. 쿠알라룸프르 공항에서 케이 엘센트럴로 가는 버스는 9MYR (4000원) 이며 1시간이 조금 넘 게 걸린다. 버스는 충분히 많으 니 사전예약은 필요없다.

Kuala Lumpur Although many discerning travellers chose to avoid big cities in favour of a more authentic experience, Kuala Lumpur is definitely one city not to be overlooked. If you have time then there are at

MAGNIFICENT MALAYSIA least a dozen major attractions to leisurely visit in Kuala Lumpur.

There is the Palace, the National Mosque, the KL Towers and the National Monument.

However, Little India, China Town and the Batu Caves are arguably the three top priorities. 많은 식견있는 여행자들은 진정 한 탐험을 즐기기 위해 대도시를 피하지만, 쿠알라룸프르는 결코 지나쳐서는 안될 도시이다. 시간 이 있다면 쿠알라룸프르에 있는 최소한 12개의 주요명소를 둘러 볼 수 있다. 성, 국립 모스트, 케 이엘타워, 그리고 국립 기념관 등이 있지만, 그 중에서 리틀 인 디아, 차이나타운, 바투동굴은 틀림없는 3대 주요명소이다.

Little India A 5-minute walk from KL Sentrel is the infamous ‘Little India’. This area will immediately transport those who visit into an authentic Indian way of life. Walking along the boulevard your ears will fill with fast paced, up-tempo Bollywood music playing at almost every shop. You will also enjoy the sights and smells of all things Indian, including incense, saris, jewellery and much, much more.

A must is to go into one of the many Indian eateries and order a curry. Do not be shocked when it is served on a large leaf rather than a plate and you will be expected to eat with your hands as this is standard throughout Malaysia.

If you struggle to embrace this particular culinary habit, cutlery is available upon request. Be warned Malaysian food is generally spicy and is said to be difficult for vegetarians. Spicer options would be ‘rendang chicken’ which is chicken marinated usually served with rice. Other less fiery options would be stir-fried noodles or a

meat fried rice dish. Menus are often varied, inexpensive (around the equivalent of 5,000KRW) and always delicious. 케이엘센트럴에서 걸어서 5분 거리에 유명한 ‘리틀인디아’가 있 다. 이 지역은 방문객들을 진정 한 인도문화 로 즉시 안내 한다. 가로수 가 늘어선 도 로를 따라 걷 다 보면 당신 의 귀는 거의 모든 샵에서 흘러 나오는 빠른, 업템포 의 볼리우드 음악으로 채 워진다. 또한 당신은 향신 료, 사리(인 도 여성들이 입는 옷), 보 석류와 갖가 지 물건들과 같은 인도적 인 풍경과 향 취를 즐길 수 있을 것이다. 많은 인도식 식당들 중에 한 곳에서 커

리를 주문하는 것은 필수 코스이 다. 접시가 아닌 큰 나뭇잎에 음 식이 나와도 놀라지 말라. 손으 로 먹는 것이 이곳 말레이시아에 서 일반적인 만큼 당신도 그 방 식을 따라야 할것이다. 이 독특 한 식문화를 따르기 어렵다면, continued on p24

MAGNIFICENT MALAYSIA 식기를 요청할 수 있다. 말레이 시아 음식은 일반적으로 맵고 채 식주의자들이 먹기 어렵다고 알 려져 있다. 더 매운 음식을 찾는 다면, 양념에 재워 밥과 함께 제 공되는 ‘렌당치킨’이 있다. 다른 덜 매운 음식으로는 볶음 국수나 고기 볶은 밥이 있다. 메뉴는 다 양하며 저렴하여(약 5000원 정 도) 맛있다.

Batu Caves Another must-see is the Batu Caves. This sacred Hindu worship area is a place of reverence and respect with hundreds of devotees coming to worship at the numerous shrines. Once you have climbed the 272 steps leading up to the three main caves, the majestic limestone formations offer a welcome reprieve from the sizzling Malaysian climate. Although the place is tranquil, beware of the monkeys. They can be angry and are modern day pick-pockets. The will steal anything they can get there monkey hands on, cameras, food, flip flops, literally anything detachable from your body. Consider yourself warned!! 또 다른 필수 관광지는 바투 동 굴이다. 이 신성한 힌두교 예배 지는 수 많은 성지에서 모여든 수백의 신도들이 숭배하고 경의 를 표하는 곳이다. 일단 당신이 3개의 주요 동굴로 연결된 272 개의 계단을 올라가면, 장엄한 석회암 형상물이 타는 듯이 더 운 말레이시아의 기후로부터 잠 시 벗어나도록 환영의 인사를 건 넨다. 이 곳이 고요하게 보이지 만 원숭이를 조심해야한다. 원숭 이가 화가나면, 소매치기로 변한 다. 그들은 카메라, 음식, 슬리퍼 등 손에 닿는 어떤 것이라도 훔 칠 것이다. 스스로 경계를 늦추 지 말 것!

24

China Town A visit to the big city would not be complete without a visit to China Town. Set along Petaling Street, the hustle and bustle of this busy area provides a real market-place experience. This has the potential to be a shopper’s heaven or hell.

The place is over-flowing with imitation goods, from sunglasses to dresses to handbags to watches to DVDs and absolutely everything imaginable in-between.

Either way embrace it and have fun. If actually making a purchase, keep in mind that bargaining is standard. The vendors deliberately start off at absurdly high prices so, be prepared to barter and depending on your resoluteness you can pay less than half the initial asking price. For maximum impact, visit China Town in the evening as it really comes alive and don’t miss out on sampling some Chinese or Malay cuisine along this area as it boasts some charmingly authentic eateries. 대도시로의 여행은 차이나 타운 을 빼고서는 끝나지 않는다. 페 탈링 거리를 따라 늘어선 혼잡하 고 분주한 이 지역에서는 시장을 경험할 수 있다. 이 곳은 쇼퍼들

에게 천국이 될 수도 지옥이 될 수도 있다. 이곳은 선글래스에서 드레스나 핸드백, 시계, DVD에 이르기 까지 상상할 수 있는 거 의 모든 것의 모방 제품으로 넘 쳐난다. 어떤 식으로든 그것을 받아들이고 즐겨라. 만약 실제로 물건을 사게되면, 가격흥정이 필 수라는 것을 명심하라. 노점상들 은 일부러 터무니 없이 높은 가 격을 부르니 흥정을 할 준비를 하라. 당신의 단호한 태도에 따 라 처음 제시한 가격의 반값에 물건을 살 수도 있다. 차이나 타 운은 밤에 더 생기넘치니 여행을 최대한 즐기고 싶다면 차이나 타 운을 가보라. 그리고 이곳에 늘 어선 음식들은 진정으로 매력적 인 맛을 뽐내고 있으니 중국식이 나 말레이식 요리를 맛보는 것도 놓치지 말 것.

Tamen Negara If your ready to move out of the city then one highly recommended option would be a visit to the breathtaking ‘Tamen Negara’. A translation of the Malay ‘Tamen Negara’ gives National Park, however this is a complete understatement and fails to do justice to what this wonder of the world actually has to offer. One of the oldest rainforests on the earth

MAGNIFICENT MALAYSIA believed to be around 130-million years old, this opportunity offers travellers a retreat from the modern day and an experience that would be difficult to rival. The abundance and diversity of nature is phenomenal as this enclave is home to one of the world’s most complex and rich ecosystems. A tropical haven with undulating landscapes, rivers, rapids, secluded caves, rising ridges and mountains, this little piece of undisturbed natural paradise begs to be explored.

With a variety of accommodation ranging from the very basic hostel to picturesque cabins, your budget will dictate how you dwell while in the rainforest, however even the cheapest options which are around 10MYR per night are very basic but liveable. There are guides who run a number of worthwhile tours from canopy walks, nighttime safaris on foot or in a 4x4,

rapid shooting bird watching, fishing and much more. To get to Tamen Negara you can take a bus from almost anywhere in Malaysia to Kuantan. Once in Kuantan there are guides who will take you by boat into the centre of the rain forest. Packages may be offered for around 300MYR but paying as you go will work out cheaper and afford more freedom should your plans change. 도시 밖으로 나갈 준비가 되었다 면, 숨막히듯 아름다운 ‘Tamen Negara’를 적극 추천한다. 말레 이시아 어 ‘Tamen Negara’는 국 립공원이란 뜻이다. 그러나 이 것은 완전히 절제된 표현이며, 이 세계의 경이로움이 주는 것 을 정당하게 평가하지 못하고 있 다. 지구상에서 가장 오래된 열 대 우림 중 하나로 약 13억 년 정 도 되었을 것으로 추정되는 이곳 을 여행하는 것은 여행자들에게

현대생활에서 벗어난 휴식을 주 며, 다른 것과 비교할 수 없을 만 큼 멋진 경험을 준다. 이 소수민 족 거주지가 전 세계의 가장 복 잡하고 풍부한 생태계 중 하나라 는 점에서 자연의 풍부함과 다양 성은 경이롭다. 낮고 높은 풍경, 강, 여울, 한적한 동굴, 솟아오르 는 산등성이, 산맥을 지닌 따뜻 한 안식처, 이 훼손되지 않은 작 은 자연의 파라다이스는 누군가 가 탐험해 주기를 호소한다. 아 주 기본적인 호스텔부터 그림 같 은 객실까지 다양한 숙박시설을 갖추고 있어 당신의 예산에 따라 묵을 곳을 정할 수 있다. 그러나 하룻밤에 약 10링깃(말레이시아 화폐단위)으로 매우 저렴한 곳이 라 하더라도 기본적 시설이지만 지낼 만 하다. 우림지역은 심하 지는 않지만 다소간의 상업적 요 소가 있다. 캐노피 워크, 걸어서 또는 4륜 구동 차를 타고 하는 밤 사파리 체험, 사격, 새 관 continued on p26

MAGNIFICENT MALAYSIA conservatively dressed including when at the beach. Stripping down to a bikini is fine but be sensitive and respectful and for those who are body-conscious, your partially clothed body will receive some attention. Beach huts are the standard accommodation and range from 40MYR to 50MYR. These are basic but usually include electricity and cold running water.

찰, 낚시, 그 밖에 많은 해볼만한 관광 체험을 운영하는 가이드들 이 있다. 타멘네가라에 가기 위 해서, 말레이시아의 거의 어느 곳에서나 버스를 타고 콴탄으로 갈 수 있다. 콴탄에 도착하면 가 이드들이 우림의 중심부까지 보 트로 태워준다. 패키지 여행 상 품이 300링깃 정도에 제공되지 만 이동할 때마다 값을 지불하는 게 더 저렴하고 더 자유롭다. 그 렇지 않으면 계획을 바꿔야 할 지 모른다.

Beaches If rest and relaxation are sought after, Malaysia offers some of the most relaxing and serene beaches in existence. If time and finances permit, a visit to one of the many islands such as Langkawi, which is the largest of the multitude of islands that lie off the coast of Kedah state, is recommended. It offers idyllic beaches and clear blue skies with a range of accommodation types and activities. To access the island a flight will need to be booked in advance which will bring you directly onto the island. AirAsia tends to be the most affordable means of travelling to alternate parts of Malaysia. How26

ever if staying on the mainland makes more sense then Cherating beach is the perfect option. This quiet area is more popular with Malaysian locals than travellers which gives it an extra appeal.

With so many available activities, finding time to relax on the beach will become difficult for action junkies. The wind conditions in Cherating make it ideal for windsurfing and kite-flying. Slightly more relaxing options would be the night-time fireflies tour, the river cruise or even banana boating, all of which are very affordable costing around 20 MYR (less than 10,000 won). Cherating is also a favourite with turtles who are coming to nest. There are sanctuaries and tours available which will allow an up-close encounter with the reptiles As Malaysia is divided by the South China Sea, water temperatures at the beach are attractively warm, making swimming in the ocean a truly enchanting experience that would be difficult to rival anywhere else in the world. As Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country, females tend to constantly be very

휴식과 휴양이 필요하다면 말레 이시아에 가장 편안하고 조용한 해변이 몇군데 있다. 시간과 경 제적 상황이 허락한다면 케다주 해변에서 조금 떨어진 곳에 위치 한 여러 섬 중 가장 큰 섬인 랑카 위와 같은 섬에 가보는 걸 추천 한다. 그 곳은 전원적인 해변과 깨끗한 푸른 하늘과 함께 다양한 숙박시설과 여가 활동을 제공한 다. 섬에 가기 위해서는 미리 비 행기를 예약해야 한다. 비행기를 타면 섬으로 바로 들어갈 수 있 다. 말레이시아의 각지를 오가며 여행하기에는 에어아시아가 가 장 적당한 수단일 것이다. 그러 나 말레이시아의 메인랜드 내에 서 계속 머무르고 싶다면 체러 팅해변이 완벽한 휴양지이다. 이 조용한 지역은 여행객들 보다 말 레이시아 현지인들에게 더 잘 알 려져 있어 여행객들에겐 더욱 가 보고 싶은 매력을 준다. 이곳은 너무나 많은 활동들이 준비되어 있어, 체험가들이 해변에서 휴식 할 시간을 갖는다는 것은 어려 울 것이다. 체러팅의 바람은 윈 드 서핑과 연날리기에 매우 이상 적이다. 좀 더 편안한 휴양거리 는 반딧불이 투어, 리버 크루즈 나 바나나 보트 타기도 될수 있 으며 이 모든 활동은 약 20링깃 (10000원 이하)로 매우 합리적 이다. 체러팅은 또한 집을 찾아 돌아오는 거북이에게도 인기있 는 곳이다. 야생돌물 보호구역과 거북이를 가까이서 볼 수 있도 록 허가된 관광구역이 있다. 말 레이시아가 남중국해로 인해 분

MAGNIFICENT MALAYSIA 리되어져 있기 때문에 해변의 수 온이 충분이 높아 수영하기에 알 맞다. 이 황홀한 경험은 전세계 어느 곳에서도 견주기가 어려울 것이다. 말레이시아가 전반적으 로 무슬림 국가 이기 때문에, 말 레이시아 여성들은 심지어 해변 에서도 매우 보수적인 옷을 입 는 경향이 있다. 당신이 비키니 를 입는 것은 괜찮지만 예를 갖 출 필요가 있다. 몸에 붙는 옷을 입은 사람들은 당신들의 부분적 으로 가린 몸에 쏠리는 다른 사 람의 눈길을 느끼게 될 것이다. 해변의 막사는 일반적인 시설이 며, 40링깃에서 50링깃 이다. 이 것은 기본적 시설이지만, 전기와 냉수시설을 갖추고 있다.

Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary Wherever in Malaysia you choose to travel, if returning to Kuala Lumpur for a flight, a stop at the Kuala Gandah elephant sanctuary is well worth your time. This institution rehabilitates and cares for orphaned or endangered Malaysian elephants. You will be given the opportunity to feed, bathe and even ride the elephants and it is all free. However, feel free to donate.

Getting to the sanctuary can be tricky and local buses in Malaysia can prove unreliable at the best of times. The safest option is to go via one of the bus companies to the closest station possible and from there catch a cab. 말레이시아에서 어디를 여행하 든지 간에, 출국을 위해 쿠알라 룸프로 돌아오게 된다면 쿠알라 간다 코끼리 보존구역에 들리는 것이 가치있게 시간을 보내는 것 이다. 이 시설은 고아가 되거나 위험에 처한 말레이시아 코끼리 를 돌보고 재활치료를 돕는 곳이 다. 당신은 이곳에서 코끼리 먹 이 주기, 목욕시키기, 코끼리 타 기까지 해 볼 수 있고 이 모든 체

험은 무료다. 하지만 얼마간 기 부하는 것도 좋다. 코끼리 보존 구역에 가는 것은 좀 어렵다. 말 레이시아의 버스는 아무리 빨리 온다해도 시간을 지키지는 않는 다. 가장 안전한 방법은 버스회 사들 중 한곳을 통해 코끼리 보 존구역에서 가장 가까운 역까지 가서 택시를 타는 것이다.

Cameron Highlands Again, another nature treasure trove Malaysia has to offer is the is the largest and most famous hill resort in the country. Being a primarily agricultural domain, you will find an abundance of vegetables and fruits farms here. Cameron Highlands is also the leading producer of flowers and tea in Malaysia. Be prepared to encounter some extraordinary flowers you won’t see flourishing elsewhere in Malaysia. YET, this is all but a very brief overview of what Malaysia has to offer.

It quintessentially is a living breathing definition of a modern day melting pot. The fusion of identity is witnessed through the food, the music, the nightlife, the people and the sense of openness and acceptance of difference is infectious and ubiquitous.

말레이시아에서 볼만한 또 다른 자연 발굴물은 가장 크고 유명한 언덕리조트이다. 농경을 주로 하 고 있기 때문에, 당신은 이곳에 서 많은 채소 농장과 과일 농장 을 볼 수 있다. 또한 카메론 하이 랜드는 말레이시아의 꽃과 차 분 야에서 선두적인 생산지이다. 특 이한 꽃들을 만날 마음의 준비를 하라. 말레이시아의 다른 곳에서 는 볼 수 없는 경관일 것이니까. 그러나, 이것은 말레이시아에서 볼만한 것들에 대한 아주 간략한 소개에 불과하다. 말레이시아는 현대 인종 문화 등이 융합되는 정말 살아 숨쉬는 용광로라 정의 내릴 수 있다. 말레이시아의 음 식, 음악, 밤문화, 사람들, 그리고 그들의 개방성에서 융합된 독자 성을 볼 수 있고, 이곳의 다양성 에 대한 수용은 전염성이 있으며 말레이시아 어디에서나 볼 수 있 는 흔한 것이다.

A

new country. A new city. Different faces, places, sites and smells. Our taxi was surrounded on all sides by motorbikes with three too many smiling passengers on each ride, we knew we were no longer in Bangkok, the hustlers haven. It toke some savvy scheduling and fancy flight coordinating but my friend and I finally arrived in Phnom Penh, the second stop on our two week South East Asian adventure. After breezing through customs in under an hour, we knew forking out that bit of extra dough to fly into the country instead of crossing the dreaded border between Thailand and Cambodia by bus was the absolute only way to go. So armed with our list of “to-do’s” in one hand and the preferred USD in the other, we were ready to begin our 6 day Cambodian extravaganza. 새로운 나라. 새로운 도시. 다른 얼굴들, 장소, 공간과 냄새. 우리 가 탄 택시 사방으로 오토바이 가 넘쳐났다. 오토바이에는 많은 사람이 탄 채 미소를 띠고 있었 다. 우리는 여기가 더 이상 사기 꾼이 넘치는 방콕에 있지 않다는 것을 알았다. 요령 있게 스케쥴 을 짜고 값비싼 비행기를 타야하 긴 했지만 내 친구와 나는 마침 내 2주간의 동남아시아 모험의 두 번째 목적지인 프놈펜에 도 착했다. 우리는 한 시간도 걸리 지 않아서 수월하게(쉽게) 세관 을 통과했다. 우리는 태국과 캄 보디아 사이의 무서운 국경선을 넘는 것보다 약간의 돈을 더 들 여 비행기를 타고 캄보디아로 들 어가는 것이 완벽한 최선책이라

는 것을 알고 있었다. 그래 서 한 손에는 “해야 할 일” 목록을, 다른 한 손에는 사 람들이 선호 하는 미국달 러로 무장하 고, 캄보디아 에서 6일 간 의 화려한 나 들이를 시작 할 준비를 했다.

The Bright Lotus, our supremely well located accommodation, was situated in the heart of the historic district. This made the perfect starting off point for exploring the city by foot, a great way to feel this bustling city’s pulse and get a glimpse at the everyday chaos--what we call “traffic.” We spent our first morning wandering the famous Wats that sprinkle the waterfront, the Central Market, the National Museum and the Royal Palace.

To make sure we hadn’t missed any hidden wonders, we hired a tuk tuk driver who doubled as a local tour guide, to take us to a few out of the way sites. Later that day, we ventured the 9km outside the city to the Killing Fields/Genocide museum and then to S-21

Detention Center. This must do, eye-opening educational experience pulled at our heartstrings and gave way to understanding the poverty stricken state the country is in today that will no doubt make you feel incredibly guilty you hired a private air conditioned van for $6 to take you there. 최상의 위치에 있는 우리의 숙소 인 브라이트 로터스는 역사적인 지역 한 가운데에 자리하고 있 다. 이곳은 걸어서 도시를 탐험 하기에 완벽한 시작 지점이었다. 걷기는 이 부산한 도시의 맥박 을 느끼고 “혼잡”이라고 부르는 일상의 혼란을 엿 볼 수 있는 아 주 좋은 방법이다. 여행 첫 날 아 continued on p30

JEONGDONGJIN - A SEASIDE TOWN

MORE THAN ONE WAY AROUND CAMBODIA 간을 소중히 만들기” 정신에 입 각하여 도착하기 전, 그날 밤을 위해서 사람들이 강추하는 사 이트(www.quad-adventurecambodia.com)를 통해 4륜 바 이크 일몰투어를 예약했다. 우리 는 각각 4륜 바이크를 타고 가이 드를 따라 2시간 동안 주위의 작 은 마을과 논을 통과하며 마법 같은 라이딩을 했다. 장난기 가 득한 눈으로 우리를 바라본 아이 들은 인사하기 위해 신나게 손을 흔들며 “헬로”라고 소리지르면서 따라왔다. 그리고 라이딩은 물소 떼로 인한 교통체증 때문에 끝이 났다. 이것은 30달러 이상의 가 치 있는 여행으로 안겨줬다. 침 우리는 바닷가, 중앙시장, 국 립박물관, 왕궁 등이 뒤섞인 유 명한 와츠를 걸어 다녔다. 숨겨 진 경이로운 곳을 절대 놓치지 않기 위해, 현지에서 여행 가이 드 수 보다 두 배나 많은 툭툭 운 전기사를 고용해서 외딴 장소로 갔다. 그 날 늦게 도시에서 9km 떨어진 킬링필드 대량학살 박물 관에 갔다가 S-21 수용소에 갔 다. 반드시 해봐야 하는 이 놀랄 만한 교육적인 경험은 우리의 심 금을 울렸고, 오늘날 가난에 시 달리는 그 나라의 상황을 이해할 수 있는 방법을 알려주었다. 그 리고 6달러에 에어컨이 있는 개 인 밴을 빌려 그곳에 도착한 당 신은 아마 죄책감을 느낄 수밖에 없을 것이다.

Our second night, we set off on the seven hour bus journey to reach our next local; the beloved Siem Reap. In the spirit of “making every moment count,” we had pre-booked a quad bike sunset tour for that evening through the highly recommended www.quadadventure-cambodia.com, before we arrived. We each had our own quad bike and followed a guide for a two hour magical ride through the small surround30

ing villages and rice paddy fields.

The children, faces beaming with joy, that galloped to the road frantically waving and shouting “hello,” to greet us and ending up in traffic jam caused by a herd of water buffalo, made this $30 tour worth every seemingly over priced penny. 이틀 다음 역인 버스

After reworking a plan of attack for our three day stay, we decided to start big. So the next morning we sprung out of bed at 4:30am, grabbed our packed breakfast boxes, jumped into our hired tuk tuk and headed off to catch the sunrise at the main majestic temple, Angkor Wat. Post sunrise and to confuse the travel packs, we set off to the outer ring of smaller temples and eventually made our way to the Sugar Cane Village and Landmine Museum. This tuk tuk tour took an entire after-

MORE THAN ONE WAY AROUND CAMBODIA noon and all for the bargain price of $15, separate of course from the $40 spent on the three day general entrance pass (one and seven day passes also available). Still not totally templed out we decided to head to a mountain top temple Phnom Kron, about 10k outside of the city where we had a bird’s eye view of Siem Reap while we watched the sunset. 앞으로 3일 동안의 행선지 계획 을 다시 짜고 난 후, 우리는 뭔 가 큰일을 해보기로 했다. 다음 날 새벽 4시 30분에 침대를 박차 고 나와 아침 도시락을 싸들고, 일출을 보기 위해 우리가 고용 한 툭툭을 타고 장엄한 사원, 바 로 앙코르와트로 향했다. 일출을 감상한 후 다른 여행자 무리로부 터 벗어나 더 작은 사원의 외곽 지역으로 출발했고 결국 슈가케 인 마을과 지뢰박물관에 도착했 다. 이 툭툭투어로 오후 전체를 보냈고, 할인을 받아서 15달러를 지불했다. 이것은 40달러인 3일 동안의 일반 입장패스와는 별개 다.(1일권, 7일권도 있다.) 아직 사원을 완전히 벗어나지 않아서 산꼭대기 사원인 프놈크론으로 향하기로 했다. 그곳은 우리가 일몰을 보면서 시엠립을 내려다 봤던 곳으로 도시에서 약 10km 떨어져 있다.

Next, one of my hands down favorite days of all time, we took a 30 km bike tour organized by the popular Grasshopper Adventures to see the three main temples; Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Ta Phrom. We cycled off the beaten path, saw monkeys, road on temple walls, explored the back trails of the beautiful Buddha faces of Bayon and of course admittedly managed to snap a few token shots doing our best Angelina Jolie. Renting

your own bike is a cheaper option, but investing $30 will give you lunch, let you be google maps free and fully able to enjoy the ride. 다음날은 여행 중 나에게 있어 가장 좋았던 날들 중에 하루였 다. 3대 사원으로 알려진 앙코르 와트, 앙코르톰, 타프롬을 보기 위해 인기있는 그래스하퍼 어드 벤쳐스가 기획한 30km 자전거 투어를 했다. 우리는 사람들이 잘 안가는 길로 자전거를 타면 서, 원숭이도 보고, 사원벽 위의 길도 지나고, 바용의 아름다운 부처 얼굴상 뒷길을 탐험하기도 했다. 물론 최선을 다해 간신히 안젤리나 졸리처럼 멋진 사진을 몇 장 찍기도 했다. 자전거를 개 인적으로 대여한다면 가격이 더 싸겠지만, 30달러를 투자하면 점 심을 제공받고 구글맵을 사용할 필요 없이 가이드를 따라 다니며 자전거를 충분히 즐길 수 있게 된다.

Our last day we left to exploring Siem Reap on foot and headed to Aqua--the local swim up bar for cocktails, meandered Pub Street, and took in the vibrant Night Market.

All local staples that need to be sprinkled in between your temple touring

to do. No matter what ways you decide to see it; by plane, bus, tuk tuk, taxi, quad bike, cycle or your good ole’ fashion feet, Cambodia will capture your heart and have you wishing you didn’t have to leave. 여행 마지막 날에는 걸어서 씨엠 립을 탐험해 보기로 마음먹고 지 역 스윔 업 바(주:수영장 한가운 데 칵테일바가 있어 수영을 하며 한 잔 할 수 있는 공간)인 아쿠아 로 향했다. 다음은, 펍 거리를 돌 아다녔고 활기찬 야시장도 구경 했다. 현지의 주요한 곳들은 사 원관광 사이사이에 있다. 어떠한 방법으로 그곳을 여행하기로 결 정하든 비행기, 버스, 툭툭, 택시, 4륜 바이크, 자전거 혹은 항상 함 께하는 발이든, 캄보디아는 당신 의 마음을 사로잡을 것이며 당신 이 떠나기 싫도록 만들 것이다.

MEANDERING AROUND SOUTH VIETNAM

Meandering Around Southern Vietnam

Written and photographed by Britney McSweeney Translated by the Jaguar

but don’t be fooled - motorbikes rule the road. Whether in the city’s bustling cement highway’s or on the rural, mountainous roads, motorbike drivers pack heavy loads - from flowers or fruit going to the market to refrigerators, balancing precariously throughout the sharp turns and sudden stops. It truly is a dance, and I must admit, I don’t know any of the steps.

W

hether you’re looking for a big city to get lost in or a beach retreat to escape to, Southern Vietnam does not disappoint. With Korea’s bitter winter in full swing, I wanted a retreat that was hot - not cool or even warm. For one week, I wanted to forget what cold even felt like. Ho Chi Minh City, still known by the locals as Saigon, provided exactly that- the kind of heat you feel through your shoes pounding on the pavement and radiating from the buildings. 여러분이 여행을 위해 큰 도시를 찾거나 혹은 해변의 휴식처를 찾 든지 베트남 남부 지역은 여러 분을 실망시키지 않는다. 한국에 몹시 추운 겨울이 한창일 때, 나 는 시원하지도 그렇다고 따뜻하 지도 않은 더운 곳을 원했다. 한 주 동안, 나는 추위가 어떤 느낌 이었는지조차 잊고 싶었다. 여전 히 지역주민에게 사이공으로 익 숙한 호치민시는 그러한 열기를 느끼는 데 안성맞춤이었다. 열기 는 포장된 도로를 걸을 때 신발

을 통해 느껴졌고 건물에서도 뿜 어져 나왔다.

Vietnam is packed. Although Saigon’s population density doesn’t compare to Seoul’s, the streets feel far more crowded and rushed, due to the huge motorbike presence.

Helmet laws are strictly enforced and bikes generally stay off of the sidewalk while in motion at least,

베트남은 붐볐다. 비록 사이공 의 인구 밀도가 서울과는 비교가 안 될 지라도, 많은 오토바이 때 문에 거리는 훨씬 붐비고, 분주 해 보였다. 헬멧 착용은 엄격하 게 시행되었고, 적어도 오토바이 가 움직일 때는 일반적으로 인도 로부터 떨어져 다녀야 한다. 하 지만 속지 마라, 오토바이가 도 로를 거의 점령하고 있다. 도시 에서 붐비는 고속도로나 시골, 산길에서도 오토바이 운전자로 가득 찬다. 그들은 시장으로 보 내질 꽃이나 과일부터 냉장고까

SOUTH VIETNAM 지 운반하며 급선회와 급정지를 하면서도 위태 롭게 균형을 유지한다. 그것은 마치 하나의 춤처 럼 보였다.

That said, I made the decision not to rent a motorbike and drive on my own, relying instead on Easy Riders. This is a group of Vietnamese guys on motorbikes that give guided tours around the country. I met our guides while wandering around Dalat early in the morning. They agreed to take us on a full day tour around Dalat’s countryside for 20 USD, we threw on our helmets and were off within minutes. The biggest benefit of using a guide is the ability to see sights you couldn’t otherwise due to direction issues, dangerous roads, or the language barrier. We were taken to ethnic minority villages, unadvertised mountains and temples, and hole-in-the-wall restaurants with some of the best food I’ve had in my life. It is truly an experience you cannot replicate by simply renting a motorbike on your own. 나는 오토바이를 대여해 직접 운전하지 않는 대 신, ‘이지 라이더’를 이용하기로 했다. 이지 라이 더는 전국에 걸쳐 오토바이로 여행 안내하는 베 트남 청년 그룹이다. 나는 이른 아침에 달랏 주변 을 배회하다가 가이드를 만났다. 그들은 20달러 에 달랏의 시골지역으로 온 종일 우리를 가이드 해준다고 했다. 우리는 헬멧을 쓰고 바로 떠났다. 가이드를 이용함으로써 가장 큰 이득은 낯선 여 행객으로서 위험한 도로나 언어 장벽 때문에 볼 수 없는 그런 경치들을 볼 수 있다는 것이다. 우 리는 소수민족 마을, 알려지지 않은 산과 절, 그 리고 내 생애 최고의 음식을 맛 볼 수 있었던 다 쓰러져가는 식당을 안내 받았다. 이것은 여러분 이 직접 오토바이를 대여한다면 경험할 수 없는 정말 값진 추억이다.

An added benefit, you get an insightful peak into the local culture, provided only by hours spent with a fluent English speaker. We were told about local customs, from marriage norms to harvesting coffee beans. As my tour guide enthusiastically explained, southern Vietnamese people, especially those living outside of Saigon, love foreigners and appreciate their tourism. And of course, he was right - I was welcomed graciously into homes and village restaurants, given service and discounts readily, and generally treated as a guest. 추가로 여러분이 유창한 영어 실력을 가진 가이 continued on p34

MEANDERING AROUND SOUTH VIETNAM 화하면 된다.

For a beautiful, nearly empty beach close to Saigon, head to Vung Tau. It was a prominent French port, and the architecture still reflects that today. The tour companies will not recommend it to you, because it is so easy to get to that you can get there independently. Just head to the Hydrofoil Station on the Saigon River; there are plenty of companies with boats leaving all of the time. The beach is covered in perfect, twisting spiral shells I couldn’t help but collect. The best part of a deserted beach is the cheap lounge chairs and beachside beer service. Make sure you look up and see the giant statue of Jesus on your way out!

드와 시간을 보낸다면 지역 문 화에 대한 통찰의 극치를 경험할 수도 있다. 우리는 결혼 문화부 터 커피 수확에 이르는 지역 관 습에 대해 들었다. 우리 가이드 가 열정적으로 설명하면서, 남부 베트남 사람들, 특히 사이공 외 곽에 사는 사람들은 외국인을 좋 아하고 그들의 관광에 감사한다 고 했다. 물론 그의 말이 맞았다. 나는 집과 마을 식당으로부터 친 절히 환영 받았고 기꺼이 서비스 와 할인을 받았다. 또한 나를 일 반적인 손님으로 대접해 주었다.

My friend and I were so impressed by our guides expertise and service that we opted to skip the sleeper bus to Mui Ne, and paid 70 USD to have them drive us instead. We ended up leaving at 7 am and arriving after 4. Our long journey was punctuated by stopping for a picnic lunch at a waterfall owned by an ethnic minority group and visiting farms of every variety - green tea, dragon 34

fruit, rice, coffee, and so on. It gave us a look at Vietnam’s mountainous terrain, tropical rainforests, and village culture. To contact my fantastic tour guide, go to www. easy rider-club.com or call Mr. Hoai at 012 7979 8379. 친구와 나는 우리 가이드의 전문 성과 서비스에 깊은 인상을 받아 서 무이네로 가는 슬리퍼 버스를 포기하기로 결정했다. 대신 우리 가이드에게 거기까지 데려다 주 는데 70달러를 지불했다. 우리는 결국 아침 7시에 떠났고, 오후 4 시 지나서 도착하였다. 긴 여정 동안 우리는 소수민족이 운영하 는 폭포에 들러 점심을 먹고 다 양한 녹차, 용과, 쌀, 커피 등을 재배하는 농장을 방문하였다. 그 것은 우리에게 베트남의 산악지 형과 열대 우림, 마을 문화에 대 해 둘러볼 수 있게 해 주었다. 우 리의 친절한 가이드와 연락을 하 려면 인터넷 easy rider-club. com에 접속해 보거나 012 7979 8379 번호로 호아이 씨에게 전

사이공 인근의 아름답고 한산한 해변을 즐기기 위해 붕따우로 향 했다. 그곳은 유명한 프랑스식 항구였고, 건축물 역시 그것을 반영하고 있었다. 이번엔 사이공 강에 있는 하이드로포일 역으로 향했다. 그곳에는 항상 떠날 수 있는 배를 가진 회사가 많았다. 해변은 내가 줍지 않고선 못 배 기는 아름다운 나선형의 조개껍 질로 뒤덮여 있었다. 인적이 드 문 해변에서 가장 좋은 점은 저 렴한 맥주 서비스다. 다른 곳으 로 떠나기 전에 꼭 거대한 예수 조각상도 놓치지 않길 바란다.

The Mekong River Delta is a short trek out of Saigon, and it’s a must-see. Tour groups can take you for a day or more, and are as cheap as 15 USD a day. The small towns and villages are draped over rivers punctuated with bridges of all sizes. Rivers are bustling with boats; the rowers seem to race one another, eager to drop off tourists and start their trip again. I must admit, as lush and beautiful as it is, the Delta is crawling with

MEANDERING AROUND SOUTH VIETNAM tourists. It’s definitely worth the visit to see the rows of boats, each busting at the seams with fruit, selling to tourists and other boats.

The vibrantly painted boats each have a set of painted eyes for the sake of a superstition in the Delta.

The experience is nothing short of unique. 메콩강 삼각주는 사이공에서 가 까운 거리이고 반드시 봐야 할 명소이다. 그룹 여행은 하루 혹 은 그 이상이 걸리는데 가격이 하루에 15달러 정도로 저렴하다. 강을 따라 작은 도시들과 마을이 있었고, 다양한 크기의 다리들도 있었다. 강은 배로 붐비고 있었 다. 뱃사공들은 관광객을 내리고 다시 태우면서 서로 경주를 하 는 것처럼 보였다. 나는 그런 광 경 자체가 멋지고 아름답다고 생 각했다. 삼각주는 관광객으로 들 끓었다. 과일로 가득채운 채 늘

어선 배들이 관광객과 다른 배와 장사를 하는 모습을 보기 위해서 라도 이곳을 방문하는 것은 정말 로 가치가 있다. 형형색색의 배 에는 각각 삼각주에 존재하는 미 신을 위해서 눈이 그려져 있다. 정말 독특한 경험이었다.

It would be a crime to write about Vietnam without bringing up the food. Ho Chi Minh City is said to have great food, and the dishes were memorable, but to truly taste the spirit of the country, you have to get out of the cities and experience the authentic cuisine. My advice? Get out of your comfort zone - don’t pass up the dish with cobra or elephant fish, and if you hate it, well, there is always the cheap Saigon beer! 음식에 대한 언급 없이 베트남에 대해 글을 쓴다는 것은 죄를 짓

는 것이나 다름없다. 호치민시는 훌륭한 음식과 기억할만한 요리 가 있다고들 한다. 하지만, 그 나 라의 진정한 영혼을 맛보기 위해 서는 도시를 벗어나 정통요리를 경험해봐야 한다. 나의 조언? 도 시 같은 편안한 지역을 벗어나 라. 코브라나 코끼리은상어와 같 은 요리를 거절하지 마라. 만약 그것이 싫다면, 항상 저렴한 사 이공 맥주만 마실 수밖에!

An Immediate Implant Procedure Written by Yoon Hongsik / Translated by Hyunseung Lee

A

s there are some easy ways to access medical information from various media outlets, the general public already knows a great deal of knowledge about implant procedures. On the other hand, there are some people who are confused precisely because we are living in a deluge of information. For that reason, my lecture is about understanding 'immediate implant installation' which has been advertised by many dental clinics recently and issued in applicable cases. 다양한 매체와 손쉬운 정보의 접근으로 임플란트에 대한 많 은 지식을 일반 사람들도 알고 있을 것이다. 그러나 한편으로 는 너무나 많은 정보의 홍수 속에 헷갈려 하시는 분들도 있을 것이다. 그러한 면에서 제가 강 의할 내용은 최근에 여러 치과에 서 광고하고, 또 이슈화되고 있 는 ‘즉시 식립’에 대한 이해와 적 응가능한 증례에 관해서입니다.

The immediate implant installation is classified under 2 headings.

The first is when temporary teeth are made after the implant procedure and are functional enough to chew due to the immediate loading of the teeth. The other is associated with implants that are just for esthetic satisfaction.

40

-I wish to eat food straight after an implant operation

Generally, the immediate implant installations that are advertised in dental clinics are promoting the latter process. Following the procedure, the surgery is hardly noticeable as the implant is installed in the anterior side with the temporary teeth immediately made and fitted. There is no success rate difference from a general

medical treatment (no temporary teeth for 3-6 months after procedure) because the titanium screws, "implants,” are gently pressed into the bone while the patient chews for a 3-6 month period while the temporary teeth binds with the jaw. However, the teeth shouldn't touch each other during chewing during the strict reshaping process. 임플란트 즉시 식립이라 함은 크 게 두가지로 분류됩니다. 발치 여부와 상관없이, 임플란트를 심 은 직후에 만들어진 임시 치아가

기능적으로 저작까지 가능한 경 우(immediate loading)와 심미 적인 부분만 충족시켜주는 경우 (immediate placement)가 있다. 일반적으로 치과에서 광고하는 즉시식립이라 함은 후자에 속하 는 경우로서, 전치부에 임플란트 를 식립하고 곧 바로 임시치아를 만들어 겉으로 보기에는 수술한 것이 거의 표가 나지 않도록 한 다. 이것은 임플란트 라는 타이 타늄 스크 류가 뼈속 에서 생접 합이 일어 나는 3-6 개월의 치 유기간동 안 저작시 에 아주 미 세한 힘이 전해지기 때문에 일반적인 통법의 치료 (식립후 아무런 임시치아 없 이 3-6개월동안 치유시키는 것)와 비교해도 임플란트 성 공률에서 차이가 나지 않는다. 그러나 엄격한 교합조정을 거 쳐 저작시에 치아가 서로 닿 지 않도록 해야 한다.

The other method of immediate installation (called immediate loading) is more difficult than the previous one mentioned. However, the benefits are that patients are able chew immediately after the surgery. Scientific data has been collected since the mid/late 1990s yet, early stage procedures called, "Blade implant," had been administered as early as the late 1970s. However, the success rate was low because it was based on clinical trials. In a more recent

ADVERTORIAL - NEW YORK DENTAL study, this procedure has proved to assured patients of a success rate of over 95% when the case is correctly chosen by a trained practitioner. The following conditions are strictly needed for the immediate installation: 1. Cross-arch stabilization 2. An implant longer than 10 mm 3. A secure fixation in the early stage 또 한편으로의 즉시식립(immediate loading)은 보다 어려 운 술식으로서, 임플란트 식립후 에 바로 저작기능을 할 수 있도 록 하는 것이다. 1990년대 중후 반에 과학적인 데이터가 많이 나 왔는데 실제로는 1970후반부터 시술이 되어온 초창기의 blade 임플란트로 시술은 되어 왔었다. 그러나, 임상적인 경험치에 근거 하여 시술되어 성공률이 낮았다. 최근의 연구에서는 숙련된 의사 를 통해 증례가 올바르게만 선택 되어지면 이 시술 역시 95% 이 상의 임플란트 성공을 보장한다 고 한다. 즉시식립(immediate loading)의 충분조건으로는 1. cross-arch stabilization 2. 10 mm이상의 긴 implant 3. 확실한 초기 고정

Patients who want to have an implant procedure normally only consider the cost, but, in reality, implant procedures are treatments of complex fields such as; surgical, periodontia, prosthodontia, orthodontia. Therefore, the doctors involved must be more skilled than in other fields.

In other words, a long course of study is required to be considered a skilled enough doctor to perform these procedures. When the doctor's ability reaches a certain high level, by then, he/she can propose varied medical treatments and also gain a high success rate level. In conclusion, immediate installation

is a difficult medical treatment which can diminish the patient's inconvenience by the doctors intervention rather than just wait for 3-6 months treatment period after the operation. 등의 요건을 엄격히 요구된다. 임플란트 를 시술 받고자 하는 환자분들이 보통 비 용적인 면에서만 접 근하시는데, 실제로 치의학 분야에서 임 플란트는 외과수술, 치주과, 보철과, 교 정과 등을 아우르는 복합적인 영 역의 치료이므로 술자의 숙련도 가 어떤 분야보다도 요구되는 학 문이다. 이것은 다시 말해서 상 당히 숙련된 의사가 되기위해서 는 한 분야 보다 긴 시 간과 공부 가 요구되 는, learning curve 의 기울기 가 매우 낮 은 임상분 야이다. 술 자의 손과 눈과 머리 가 높은 내 공의 수준 에 이르렀 을 때에 환 자에게 보 다 다양한 치료의 방 법을 제시 할수 있고 또 높은 치 료 성공률 을 달성할 수 있는 것 이다. 이러 한 의미에

서 즉시 식립이라는 치료방법은 단순히 임플란트 수술후에 3-6 개월동안 치유기간을 기다리기 보다는 담당의사가 적극적으로 개입하여 환자들의 불편을 훨씬 줄일수 있는 난이도가 높은 치 료이다.

When a trip to South-East Asia is planned, it’s often Thailand which stands out - the legendary full –moon party, the sin city reputation of Bangkok and, of course, the lady boys your mother will undoubtedly warn you about.

In the last few years, however, the stock of Vietnam has risen faster than any other country in the region and the country is now a must-see on the South-East Asian backpacking circuit. The diversity the country offers is unique; to experience all Vietnam has to offer often requires an amount of time few travellers have. For so many reasons, Vietnam is somewhere everyone plans to return to.

tainly compelling. 1 in 2 residents possess a bike, a figure which would surely be higher if not for the improbable number of family members loaded onto every vehicle – up to 5! The country once dominated by the French retains its colonial atmosphere and the quaint cafes provide an excellent viewing platform for the madness of the bikers who completely ignore all traffic light direction.

동남아시아 여행을 계획할 때, 보통 전설적인 보름달 파티, 방 콕의 범죄도시 명성 등이 눈에 띄는 태국을 생각한다. 그리고 여러분의 엄마가 분명히 조심하 라고 말씀하실 레이디보이들도 있다. 그러나 지난 몇 년 동안, 베트남 주가는 동남아시아 다른 어떤 나라보다 빠르게 상승하고 있다. 이 나라는 지금 동남아 배 낭여행 일주에서 꼭 봐야 할 명 소가 되었다. 특히 베트남이 보 여 주는 다양성은 색다르다. 베 트남 전부를 경험하기 위해서 는 엄청난 시간이 요구된다. 여 러 가지 이유로 베트남은 모든 이들이 다시 여행가고 싶은 곳 이 되었다.

In the far north of the country lies Hanoi, the city famous for its traffic. While Rome and other cities are derided for air pollution, it is said by every visitor to Vietnam’s second city that the motorbike traffic is if not charming, then cer42

Hanoi also offers visitors a chance to see much revered former President Ho Chi Minh embalmed in his own mausoleum. Uncle Ho, as he’s known to the Vietnamese, adorns every monetary note and his portrait takes pride of place in many homes. On reflection, this might all be a way of apologizing to the ghost of Uncle as his dying wish was to be cremated!

베트남에서 가장 북쪽에 위치한 하노이는 교통난으로 유명한 도 시다. 로마나 다른 도시들이 대 기오염으로 알려져 있는 반면에 베트남의 두 번째 도시를 방문 하는 여행객들은 오토바이 교통 량이 매력적이진 않더라도 확실 히 눈을 뗄 수 없다고 말한다. 시 민 둘 중 하나는 오토바이를 가 지고 있다. 놀랍게도 한 오토바 이에 한 가족이 최대 5명까지 올 라타고 가는데, 이렇게 타지 않 았다면 오토바이의 수는 분명히 더 많아졌을 것이다. 한 때 프랑 스 지배하에 있었던 베트남은 식 민지 문화가 남아있다. 그래서인 지 교통신호를 무시하며 달리는 오토바이를 구경할 수 있도록 훌 륭한 전망대를 제공하는 신기한 카페도 있다. 하노이는 존경받는 호치민 전 대통령을 방부처리 해 서 그의 묘지에 보관되어 있는데 방문객도 볼 수 있게 되어있다. 그리고 베트남 사람들에게 호 아 저씨라고 불리는 그는 베트남 모 든 통화지폐에 인쇄되어 있고, 그의 초상화는 많은 가정에서 가 장 눈에 잘 띄는 곳에 놓여 있다. 생각해보면, 이 모든 것은 화장 되길 바란다는 그의 유언에 대한 사과 방식일 것이다!

often cited as one of the modern wonders of the world. Roughly 2000 limestone formations provide the backdrop for the daily cruise trips which depart from the mainline. Booking a 2 night cruise is vital in order to sample the kayaking, swimming and fishing on offer. One part of the bay not to be missed is the trip to one of the floating villages – an utterly surreal experience which will have you wondering where the pub is and if residents really ask their family members to “swim down the shop” when they’re in need of essentials?

A few hours away from Hanoi is stunning Halong Bay, an area

하노이에서 몇 시간 떨

어져 있는 아름다운 하룽만(下 龍;하늘에서 내려온 용)은 세계 에서 경이로운 곳 중 하나이다.

2000개 정도의 석회암층은 주 요 루트에서 벗어난 유람선 관광 을 위한 아름다운 풍경이 되어준 다. 크루즈에서 제공하는 카약타 기, 수영, 낚시를 맛보기 위해서 이틀 예약은 필수다. 하룽만에서 놓쳐서는 안 될 한 가지는 수상 마을 관광이다. 수상마을에서는 여러분이 이상하게 여길지도 모 르는 경험을 할 수 있다. 과연 술 집은 어디에 있는지 궁금해질 것 이고, 주민들은 필요한 것이 있 을 때 “가게까지 수영해서 다녀 와”라고 가족에게 부탁한다.

Moving south, the natural beauty is replaced by the standard fare of South-East Asia: the beach.

What makes Vietnamese beaches somewhat different is that the crowds in places like Nha Trang are a bit more subdued than those

choosing the regular spots. This is no bad thing: some of Thailand’s most popular beaches are starting to resemble everything bad about Spanish resorts. In addition, in central Vietnam lies the border region at the heart of the conflict which ravaged throughout the 1970s and a visit to the towns of Hue and Hoi An is worthwhile.

On a less savage note, Hoi An specializes in the sale of the cheapest quality suits in the world and if you’re sticking around for a few days you’ll be able to design your threads and strut on to your next location over-dressed and, probably, over-confident. 남쪽으로 내려오면, 다른 동남아 시아처럼 해변이 가장 아름다운 경관을 보여준다. 그러나 베트남 의 해변이 뭔가 특별하다고 말 할 수 있는 것은 냐쨩과 같은 지 역에 있는 사람들 때문이다. 그

들은 일반적인 지역들은 여행하 려는 사람들보다 다소 조용하고 차분하다. 이것은 그리 나쁜 점 이 아니라고 생각한다. 태국의 몇몇 가장 유명한 해변들은 스페 인 휴양지들의 모든 안 좋은 점 들을 닮아 가고 있다. 게다가, 베 트남 중앙에, 1970년대에 걸쳐 황폐화시켰던 전쟁의 중심에 그 경계지방이 있다. 그래서 훼와 호이안 시의 방문은 충분히 가치 가 있다. 좀 덜 거친 이야기를 하 자면, 호이안 시는 세계에서 가 장 저렴한 질 좋은 슈트 판매로 유명하다. 만약 당신이 며칠 정 도 여기서 머무른다면 당신의 삐 까뻔적한 옷을 장만할 수고 다음 여행지에서 그 과한 의상과 아 마도 과한 자신감을 뽐낼 수 있 을 것이다.

The capital of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon as it was formerly known, shocks many as it the full cost of the war is made

clear to anyone visiting. The War Remnants Museum is a chilling expose of the barbarity of the conflict in the country and the photos on show hold nothing back in displaying the effect on innocent civilians and combat troops alike. 베트남의 수도 호치민시 혹은 공 식적으로 알려진 사이공(전쟁 전의 남베트남의 수도, 현 베트 남의 수도는 하노이 시)은 전쟁 의 전체 비용을 명확히 보여 줌 으로써 방문객들을 매우 놀라게 한다. 전쟁잔해 박물관은 베트 남 전쟁의 야만성을 신랄하게 폭 로한다. 그리고 그곳의 사진들은 무고한 시민들과 전쟁에 참여한 군인들에 대한 영향을 거침없이 보여 준다.

The best of Ho Chi Minh City is to be found on the city perimeter with the Mekong Delta and the Cu Chi tunnels. The tunnels

VIETNAM were vital in repelling the US Army through various forms of ground traps and tunnels running 75 miles long. Bizarrely, and perhaps inappropriately, visitors can shoot war-era guns at the shooting range at the end. Now there's a strange itinerary: stories of jungle warfare, flesh eating rodents and torture followed by unloading a full submachine gun clip into a target in the distance. 호치민 시 여행의 가장 좋은 점은 도시 가까이에 서 메콩강 삼각주와 구찌 터널을 볼 수 있다는 것 이다. 이 터널은 다양한 형태의 함정과 75mile (120km) 길이의 터널을 통해 미군을 물리쳤던 핵 심 시설이다. 부적절 할 수는 있겠지만, 특이하게 도 방문자들은 터널 끝의 사격장에서 그 당시 전 쟁시대의 총을 쏴 볼 수 있다. 현재, 정글 전투 이 야기, 살아있는 쥐 먹기, 기관 단총 발사 후의 고통 경험하기 같은 이상한 여행 상품이 있다.

The Mekong Delta is an altogether less violent trip and it's the best place to sample genuine Vietnamese culture well away from the tourist hotspots. From floating markets, to coconut processing and traditional music, it is a welcome change from the hard graft of the Cu Chi trip. 메콩강 삼각지는 전체적으로 베트남 전쟁의 유적 이 없는 덜 격렬한 여행지이다. 그리고 이 곳은 여 행자들의 각광지로부터 꽤 떨어져 있어서 진짜 베 트남 문화들을 접해 볼 수 있는 가장 좋은 장소이 다. 수상 시장부터 코코넛 생산과 전통음악까지 이 것은 구찌 여행에서의 힘든 노동으로부터 반가운 변화일 것이다.

It would be impossible to cover all the charms of Vietnam in one article and in that lies the glory of the country - even if you only have time to scratch the surface, you'll still sample people as friendly as they come, spectacular scenery and a troubled history followed by a remarkable rise from the ashes. Vietnam is a hotspot in the making, get there before the crowds! 한편의 기사만으로 베트남의 모든 매력을 느끼는 것은 불가능할지 모른다. 비록 여러분이 단지 수박 겉핥기 식의 여행을 할 시간밖에 없다 하더라도, 여러분은 여전히 그들이 다가 온 것처럼 친절한 베 트남 사람들, 장관을 이루는 풍경 그리고 한줌의 재에서부터 눈에 뛸 만큼 성장을 한 험난한 역사를 맛볼 수 있다. 베트남은 지금 각광받고 있는 여행 지이니 붐비기 전에 어서 가길 바란다.

MANNAM 10K WALK Written by Gary Lynn / Photo by Sunny

O

ur friends at Mannam (Daegu) have started another cultural event, The Korean Food Experience. That's where all of the volunteers meet to enjoy authentic Korean food at a local restaurant. The restaurant of choice this time - What?

Samgyeopsal. Yep, that's right What? This place was crowded from the time we got there to the time we left. Understandable because the food and service was, as we say in America "Off the chain." - (Great). I'm told that What? is famous for their peppered pork - among other things. One of the best places to eat in Daegu. Hard to find though, off a back street and down an alley but when you find it - TOUCHDOWN. The group of us totalled over 20 and What? had no problem seating us. While we sat and ate more and more people showed up. As soon as one table cleared, it was resat in just moments.

A place with good food can do that. After we finished, we talked for a moment but was asked to leave to make room for more customers. It was a great time with great people.

There are more events with

46

Mannam coming up. Along with another Korean Food Experience (a steak place this time), they will have a 10km walk campaign on April 14. The walk is a global awareness campaign that will happen simultaneously all over Korea. Daegu, Seoul, Kwangju, Busan and so with ALL Mannam organizations. The theme, 10km In Their Shoes, Love the Earth, Love People.

The venue will be at Duryu Park Dalseogu, Daegu and will start at 1pm with registration and a message delivering hope.

At 2pm, a performance from local talent and at 2:30pm the 10km walk begins. The closing ceremony will be from 5:00pm to 6:00pm. There will be two courses (A&B) people will be divided into these groups.

Through Mannam's 10km walk, we will take time to observe and experience how giving of ourselves is human nature. We will also

hold a ceremony to encourage others to get actively involved in in loving and protecting our fellow man.

Imagine what you would do if a natural distaster hits a peacful village you are living in and takes away your house and family. Countless people around the world are fighting with fears of loneliness, coldness, famine and sickness. Mannam, knowing no borders and no boundaries, aspires to reach out to all people affected by natural disasters and encourage them with a hope to get back up and start again.

Please be the deliverer of a small but big act of love for the entire human race by participating in this event. This touching message from the particpants of the 10km walk will be presented for those who are hurt by natural disasters - “When Light meets Light - There is Victory,� is Mannam's motto . The Mannam people are so friendly and the group is getting bigger and bigger each month. Every time we meet, it's like we found a lost good friend.

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

Work and Play in the land of OZ Written and photographed by Rui Lee

“This plane will be arriving at the Brisbane airport shortly." The captain said through the speaker.

I've been awake, sitting on the plane, in eager anticipation for 13 hours. Generally, people only know about the Opera House in Sydney, Australia. Other than that, Australia is the sixth biggest country, first biggest island, and the only continent which is a country as well. They have the biggest coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef and also a very famous for the rock, Ayers Rock. "비행기가 곧 브리즈번 공항에 도착합니다." 13시간의 비행동 안 설레이고 가슴이 뛰어서 뜬눈 으로 호주땅에 도착했습니다. 보 통 사람들은 호주라고 말하면 시 드니 오페라하우스를 떠올리고 그외에는 잘 알지 못하는데요, 호주는 세계에서 여섯번째로 큰 나라이고. 세계에서 가장 큰섬이 며 한대륙을 이루는 유일한섬이 고, 지구상에서 가장 큰 생물인 그레이트 베리어 리프, 최대암석 인 에어즈락의 나라이죠.

When I was 25, I put myself on a plane to Australia. Looking for an answer to a question, "Can I survive in an English speaking world?" I thought I would be able to gain a better idea of who I am if I went down and lived and worked in Australia. I got a working holiday visa in 2 weeks, got everything ready which took less than a month and off I went. 스물다섯 난 호주로 떠났습니다. 내가 영어로만 살수 있을까? 라 는 의문에 대답을찾기위해. 더

-If you are granted this visa you can: •enter Australia within 12 months of grant •stay up to 12 months •leave and re-enter Australia any number of times while the visa is valid •work in Australia for up to six months with each employer •study for up to four months.

When I arrived at the airport, I was cowering, nervous about hearing a new accent for the first time. As I went through immigration, he said "G'day mate!

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ 는 첫 크리스마스는 아주 특별한 경험이었습니다, 한국에서는 항 상 아주 추운 겨울날 화이트 크 리스마스만을 기대하며 지냈는 데 호주의 크리스마스는 빨간색 산타 비키니를 입은 Girls들과함 께 해변에서의 파티를 하면서 크 리스마스를 축하하지요.

하지만 한국에 비하면 조금 추운 가을정도입니다.

Most of the cities in OZ are located near beaches. Surfing, swimming and partying with hot bikini girls is part of the life style every weekend. There are also nude beaches, if you are looking for some freedom, go for it. The residents who I met were very kind and relaxed unlike Koreans.

I've been used to the "Hurry, hurry culture in Korea," so there were some things I couldn't understand, 호주의 대부분의 도시들은 해변 가에 위치해 있습니다. 서핑과 수영 그리고 아름다운 비키니를 입은 hot GIRL들과의 party는 그냥 생활의 일부죠. 어딘가에는 누드비치또한 존재 한다니 잘 찾 아보시면 자유를 만끽할수있을 거 같네요. 제가 만난 대부분의 호주사람들은 친절하고 여유로 왔습니다. 한국의 빨리빨리에 익 숙해진 저로써는 처음에는 이해 가 가지않던일이 많았죠.

For instance, our public transportation has no consideration for challenged people. They hardly go out like for events. But in OZ, when the low-floor buses arrived, drivers would come down to escort them, but no one complained 54

because you were so used to it.

The first Christmas in OZ was very special. I usually celebrated Christmas in cold and snowy Daegu, so partying on the beach with people in swimsuits and bikinis was awesome! 우리나라의 대중교통은 장애인 을 전혀 배려해서 만들지 않습니 다, 한국에사는 장애인들의 외출 은 거의 이벤트에 가깝죠. 하지 만 이 호주라는 나라는 버스가서 면 기사님이 직접 내려서 에스코 트를 합니다 시간이 조금 걸리 는 일이지만 아무도 거기에대해 서 말하지않죠 그냥 목이 마르면 물을마시고, 잠이오면 잠을 자듯 당연한 일이니까요. 호주에서 맞

I cannot forget to mention about street performers. Street performers also get state government help.

There are painters, singers, musicians, sculptors and performance artists. I suggest heading down there if you have a special talent to share with people. Plus, you get paid to do something you love!

It's not so hard to get a job if you speak English well, but it's hard to get one where they treat you as they treat their own residents.

Australia has very high-prices and high-wages at the same time.

If you take the Big-Mac index challenge, in OZ you can buy 4 Big-Macs after working just 1 hour. In Korea, you can only buy one Big-Mac after working only 1 hour. Wow, what a big difference!

After I came back, lots of people and friends of mine asked me what the biggest difference between OZ and Korea was while I was living there and all I could do was smile.

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ 호주를 이야기하면서 길거리 아티스트를 빼놓 고 이야기할수없는데 그이유는 아주 재능있는 그리고 시에서 오디션을 거쳐 허가를 받은 화 가, 마술사, 밴드들, 조각가, 또 행위예술가들이 길거리에서 돈을 받으면서 하는 공연이기 때문 에 수준이 아주 높고 다양합니다. 만약당신이 특별한 재능이 있다면 호주의 동전은 단위가커 서 벌이도 아주 쏠쏠하니 재밌게 공연을하면서 돈도벌고 친구도 사귀어 본다면 재밌지 않을까 요? 일을 구하는건 영어만 잘한다면 어려운 일 이 아닙니다, 하지만 제대로된 대우를 해주는 일을 구하는것은 힘듭니다. 호주는 임금과 물가 가 아주 비싼 나라입니다 빅맥지수로 봤을때 호 주는 4위 한국은 13위 물가차이는 거의 3~4배 에 달하며 임금도 그정도로 높습니다.하지만 제 대로된 임금을 주는 일을 찾기위해선 노력이 필 요하죠. 워킹홀리데이를 마치고 돌아온지금 사 람들이 "갔다가 오니 머가 달라졌나요?" 라고 물어보면 저는 그냥 씨익~ 웃어줍니다.

I was worried about my future before I left. I thought I would be living a meager life, barely getting by. But I had a great time and found that work wasn't hard to find. For now I am so excited about what I am doing and what I want to do. One of my life mentors, Biya Han gave a lecture and asked one of the students, "What's your dream job?" She hit his back really hard after he answered, "I want to become a government employee." How many adventures have you taken in your whole life?

Early training means more than late learning. It's never too late. Get a visa, pack your bags and GO Have some fun. Otherwise you might regret missing your chance at finding out something special about yourself in a distant land. 떠나기전에 미래에대한 불안감, 먼가 딱히 하 고싶은게 없었던 그저그렇게 살아갈수밖에 없 었던 내가. 지금은 내가 하고있는일, 하고싶고, 또 하려는 일들에대한 확신이 있고, 그일들때 문에 미친듯이 흥분이 되고 가슴이 뜁니다. 예 전에 제가 존경하는 한비야씨가 20대 청년에게 꿈이 뭐냐고 물었더니 청년이 "7급 공무원" 이 라고 대답해서 등짝을 세게 때린일화는 유명한 일화입니다. 태어나서 모험을 몇번이나 해보셨 나요? 젊어서 고생은 사서도 하는거랍니다, 늦 었다고 생각할때가 가장빠른때라고 하지요? 인 생에서 가장 큰 후회를 하고싶지 않다면 비자를 받으시구요, 가방을싸서, 떠나세요.

Suseong Lake area is one of the classiest places in Daegu. A perfect date area. After taking your sweetheart out to a nice meal, I’d recommend Napoli, Ganga, La Bella Cucina or New York New York, take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous ‘duck boats’ and paddle your way into each other’s hearts. Next, swing by the minature golf course and Suseong Land. Thanks to the photogs who took the great pics you see here. Aygul Sarvarova, Jeremy Taylor and Chanel Barlow.

Suseong Lake area offers a change of pace to the hustle and bustle of downtown. Suseong Lake also boasts an amusement park (Suseong Land) reminiscent of those carnivals you went to with your parents at the local fair ground. There’s something to be said when you are on the back of the seahorse with a safety bar that barely locks you in place as you float for a few brief seconds in mid-air before being plunged back down in your seat.

Thrilling, exhilarating are just a few choice words to descrribe the experience.

KOREAN ARCHERY http://www.flickr.com/photos/singapore2010/

Countdown to the London Olympics: The story of how one of Korea’s Gold Medal prospects is looking to defy the odds

http://www.flickr.com/photos/billhails 70

KOREAN ARCHERY Written by Kenneth Quillinan

W

hen I asked my students which Korean athlete is likely to win a medal at the upcoming London Olympics,they all came back with the same two answers;the notorious figure skater,Kim Yu Na and swimmer Park Tae-Hwan.

It seems little is known here about how successful the Korean Archers have been in recent years, and notably the remarkable story of one athlete in particular.

Im Dong-Hyun, a twenty-five year old archer born in Cheong Ju is widely considered as the best archer in the world. He has two gold medals from the team events held in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. He also holds the current world record for 72 arrows, with a score of 687 out of 720.When it comes to this sport I am far from an expert, but when I read his remarkable story my interest suddenly piqued.

According to the Korean Archery Federation, Im is legally blind,with a vision of 20/100 in his right eye and 20/200 in his left. He has described the rainbow colors of an archery board as looking like ‘’different types of paint being dropped in water. The lines are blurred.’’

Im began to lose his his vision as a teenager,but by then he had already established himself on the archery scene as one of the best around. Instead of having the necessary surgery to address his problem, Im has learnt to ‘feel’ each shot with his body, training his muscles to be phenomenally consistent when lining up for every shot.

For the past two decades, Korea has dominated the archery world in both the male and female categories. They currently hold every world record available in both the men and women’s individual and team events. It looks like this trend is likely to continue with Im being enlisted as the favorite to take the gold at this summer’s London Olympics.

Currently, there are almost 350 regional teams and over 1,500 active archers in Korea. With such a great interest here in this sport, it is difficult to bet against Korea continuing to dominate for the foreseeable future.
