Enjoy Authentic Indian

-Pakistani Cuisine in Daegu Food in an International University Setting Written by Katy Babiarz / Photos by Ivan Broida

Whether you are a newbie to Daegu, or an experienced Daeguian, have I got a special treat for you! Those in the Kyungpook National University North Gate (경대북문) area are the luckiest, because they can enjoy the New Aladdin Restaurant more often. If not, then no worries.

There are numerous buses that can get you there fairly easily (more about that later).

What is so great about the Aladdin Restaurant you might be asking? I’ll tell you, it’s the best Indian-Pakistani food I’ve ever had. Rashid Ahmed (along with his brother, 8

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.APRIL

whom is fresh to Daegu and his Korean wife) strives for excellence in creating the most delicious dishes. He and his brother, Shafiq, have more than 20 years of experience between the two of them in cooking traditional Indian-Pakistani food.

The first experience you receive is when you are walking up to the third floor restaurant. The stairways are lined with gorgeous photographs of the people and sceneries of India and Pakistan. Then, as you walk into the restaurant, the sweet and spicy aromas of curry and spices

Daegu Food - Enjoy Authentic Indian-Pakistani Cuisine in Daegu

http://daegucompass.com

permeate the air. The dĂŠcor is simple, yet vibrant and lively, with colorful hookahs, golden palace statues, and beautiful tapestries covering the walls.

Curious about what the delicious foods are? Words can’t fully describe the amazingness we tasted on our visit to Aladdin Restaurant. But, here it goes.

We started out with the Somosa (2 pieces for 4,000 won), which is something I’ve never tasted before, but was pleasantly surprised by. Two crispy, yet fluffy, pieces of pastry come filled with onions, potatoes, and Indian spices served along-side two completely different sauces; a creamy, spicy mint sauce and a sweet, tangy red chili sauce. Then, we were served the pretty simple, but rather tasty Special Tandoori Chicken Salad (5,000 won). Sliced pieces of Tandoori chicken are served on top of a bed of lettuce and drizzled with honey mustard dressing. This is great for just a light snack to hold you over until the next part of your meal comes!

Now for the real treat! The entrees that were served to us were the Tandori Chicken (half 8,000 won and full 16,000 won) and a variety of brightly colored -continued on p10-

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.APRIL

curries (12,000 won). And of course, no curry is complete without some nan (plain-2,000 won / butter-2,500 won / garlic-3,000 won / potato paratha-4,000 won).

Palak Paneer (green) is a non-spicy, vegetarian curry made of creamy spinach with soft cubes of cheese floating about. The Bombay Chicken (orange) is also a non-spicy curry consisting of chicken, onion, tomato, and capsicum topped with a sliced hard-boiled egg.

Next was the Murg Mukkni (white). This curry is a sweet creamy, buttery curry with chicken, coconut and spices with raisins sprinkled on top. Finally is the Maddrassi (red), which is a smooth tomato paste-based curry with tomatoes, chicken and lamb. All of these curries are served in beautiful metal bowls with a candle burning underneath to keep them warm. At the end of our meal, there wasn’t a drop of curry left in our bowls; further proving how top-notch these curries are.

To get to this gem, find your way to the North Gate of KNU by taking one of the many buses (305, 410, 503, 706, 719, 937, 동구2) OR just show the taxi driver this: “경대북문 가 주세요.” (“Take me to KNU North Gate, please.”) Once you’ve trekked over to KNU, the

restaurant is located on the opposite side of the campus above Tous Less Jours on the 3rd floor. You really can’t miss the bright green signs guiding you into this authentic dining experience.

In closing, Rashid wants everybody to know that you should experience his restaurant once, and you’ll love it. He also wanted to pass along that you can check out his menu and leave any comments or suggestions for him and his staff on Facebook (Aladdin Restaurant).

He moved his restaurant to KNU in hopes of bring his non-fusion cuisine to more foreigners who desire it. Also, if you speak English, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, or Urdu, well then you can order successfully at this restaurant!

After class, on your to COSTCO, or just because, come to the New Aladdin Restaurant seven days a week, anytime between 11 am to 11 pm to be engulfed by the aromas, sights, and tantalizing tastes of India and Pakistan!

BIG DAY SOUTH Audio & Visual Festival Written by Ali Safavi / translated by Yujeong Lee

In the last year or so, there has been a noticeable push in Daegu to support and encourage not yet established local art, music, and other creative ventures, from within the city itself. Some, who have found themselves in Daegu for more than a minute, have decided that one does not have to live in South Korea as a tourist, a simple observer, but that you can follow your passions and get involved with your surroundings without any boundaries of nationality or language. 작년 이 맘 때쯤, 아직 형성되지는 않 았던 지역 미술, 음악 다른 창의적인 벤쳐들을 지원하고 장려하기 위해 대 구 자체 내에서 주목할 만한 움직임 이 있었다. 대구에 잠시라도 머물렀던 몇몇 사람들은 한국에서 여행자나 단 순한 관찰자로 살지 않기로 결정했다. 대신에 스스로의 열정을 쫓아갈 수 있 고, 어떠한 국적이나 언어의 장벽 없 이 주위 환경에 참여할 수 있다. .

On Saturday April 26th, [b]racket Magazine, I Like Many Records 20

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.APRIL

J and Angle Magazine, are coming together to throw a festival that will showcase some of the best talent that we have in the south. The ‘Big Day South’ festival will bring together artists, musicians, dancers and spoken word from Ulsan, Daegu and Busan to play at two important venues in Daegu: 4월 26일 토요일, [b]racket 매거진, I Like Many Records 그리고 Angle 매거진이 함께 남부지방 최고의 재능을 선보이는 페스티벌을 개최한 다. ‘Big Day South’ 페스티벌은 대 구의 중요한 두 장소에서 공연을 펼치 기 위해 울산, 대구, 부산 출신의 아티 스트, 뮤지션, 댄서, 연사들을 한자리 에 모은다. ◈ Social Market is a shop full

of handmade crafts from artists throughout Korea. The shop will play host to live art and demonstra tions of art from Leon Choi, William Special Reports - BIG DAY SOUTH

oseph Leitzman and street art from Moke. As well as live screen printing and an ‘exquisite corpse’ (wherein people collectively contribute to a piece of art). There will also be some lovely music from Andrew Blad and Mine Lee/이민혜. Social Market is a unique shop, offering guests a chance to experience the creative process, listen to music while at the same time providing the opportunity to discover wonderful handmade goods. 소셜마켓은 한국 전역 작가들의 수공 예품으로 가득한 가게이다. 그리고 레 온 최, 윌리엄 조셉 레츠먼, 모케의 거리 미술의 살아있는 작품과 미술의 시현을 선보이는 장소로 활용되기도 한다. 거기에 더해 생생한 스크린 프 린팅과 ‘정교한 시체’(사람들이 집합 적으로 미술 한 점에 기여하는 곳) 도 있다. 또한 앤드류 블라드와 이민혜의

http://daegucompass.com

사랑스러운 음악도 있을 것이다. 소 셜 마켓은 손님들에게 창조적인 과정 을 경험하게 해주는 기회를 제공해주 고, 멋진 수공예 작품을 구경하는 동 시에 음악을 들을 수 있는 기회를 제 공해주는 독특한 가게이다. ◈ Club Urban has long been an

iconic venue for live music in downtown Daegu. Their stage is often graced by the presence of many local and international acts as well as also being a popular drinking hole for foreigners and Koreans alike. During the Big Day South festival, Club Urban will play host to an assortment of acts, including music and spoken word from Ulsan, a DJ, a dancer and an indie band from Busan as well as Daegu acts, Dogstar/도그스타, November On Earth, Colours, The Curses (ex. Lady Winchester) and the legendary Yamagata Tweakster (who is the quintessential Korea experience). To finishing things off, we will have some of our city’s hardworking charities raising awareness and selling some delicious cakes. 클럽 어반은 오랫동안 대구 시내에 서 라이브 음악을 즐길 수 있는 상징 적인 장소였다. 그 곳의 무대는 외국 인과 한국인 모두에게 인기있는 술집 일 뿐만 아니라 종종 많은 지역 내와 국제적인 밴드의 공연으로 빛이 나는 곳이다. Big Day South 페스티벌 동안, 클럽 어반은 대구의 공연, 도 그스타, 노벰버 온 어스, 컬러스, 더 커시스(구 레이디 윈체스터), 전설적 인 야마가타 트윅스터(한국적인 경 험의 진수)뿐만 아니라 울산의 음악 과 연사, 부산의 DJ, 댄서, 인디 밴 드 등 다양한 공연을 개최하는 장소 로 활용될 것이다. 이를 모두 마치기 위해 페스티벌의 관심을 높이고 맛있 는 케이크를 판매하는, 우리 도시에 서 정말 열심히 하는 자선행사를 가 질 것이다.

With the Big Day South festival, we

http://daegucompass.com

want to showcase the creativity, talent and beauty outside of Seoul, to challenge the notion that in Korea, if something cannot be found in the capital then it probably doesn’t exist anywhere in the country. Whilst it is true that for now, Seoul is the heart of many interesting cultural happening in South Korea, the belief we are left barren in the southern cities is a false one. [b]racket Magazine, I Like Many Records and Angle Magazine feel that a festival would be a great way to disprove that assumption.

Big Day South 페스티벌에서 우리 는 서울 밖의 창조성과 재능, 아름다 움을 보여주고 싶고, 한국에서는 수 도에서 뭔가를 찾을 수 없다면 한국 내에는 그것이 없다라는 관념에 도전 하고 싶다. 서울은 한국 내에서 수 많 은 흥미로운 문화적인 행사의 중심지 라는 것이 현재로써는 사실일지라도 우리가 남쪽 도시들에 척박하게 내 버려둔 믿음이 잘못된 것이다. [b] racket 매거진, I Like Many Records , Angle 매거진은 이 축제가 그 가정이 틀렸음을 증명하는 훌륭한 방법이라고 생각한다.

We also did not want to exclude any nationality from this event but rather try, as we do in our daily ventures, to bridge the gap between Korean and foreigners. Both groups have an immense amount of talent and a language barrier need not hold us back from enjoying or engaging in the creative endeavors of either group.

또한 우리는 이번 이벤트에서 어떠 한 국적의 사람들도 배척하기를 원하 지 않았으며 오히려 우리의 일상적인 벤쳐에서 하듯, 한국인과 외국인 사 이의 갭을 이어주기 위해 노력했다. 두 그룹 모두 막대한 역량을 가지고 있으며 언어적인 장벽이 어느 한 그 룹의 창조적인 노력을 즐기고 거기에 어울리는 것을 막을 수 없다.

Cherry Blossom Festival @ Jinhae Wake Up and Smell the Cherries Written and photographed by SIAWN OU www.headstandtravels.com / Translated by Yujeong Lee

I’d never really been a flowers person.

마을에는 전혀 꽃이 없었다. 우리는 1주일이나 너무 일찍 진해에 온 것이다.

나는 절대로 꽃을 좋아하는 사람이 아니었다.

Fast forward to present time.

Backtrack to one year ago. I was sitting on a park bench with my girlfriend under a peaceful canopy of trees. The sun was shining, the weather was sweet, and we were absolutely annoyed with each other. This small coastal town famous for their cherry blossoms was completely flowerless. We had arrived to Jinhae a week too early.

1년전으로 돌아가보자. 나는 여자친구와 함께 나뭇가지 가 평화롭게 드리워진 아래 공원 벤치에 앉아 있었다. 태 양이 빛나고 있었고, 날씨는 환상적이었으며 우리는 서로 에게 짜증이 나 있었다. 벚꽃으로 유명한 이 작은 해안가

with my own eyes. 시계를 확인했다. 창밖을 내다봤다. 카메라를 켰다. 그리 고 껐다. 모든 것을 반복했다. 오후 1시 12분, 우리가 진 해역에 도착하기 몇 분 전이었다. “꼭 그 순간을 잡아내 야해. 놓칠수 없어. 절대 놓칠 수 없어..” 나는 계속해서 스스로 상기시켰다. 언제 어디서 이 것이 일어날 지 전혀 단서를 가지고 있지 않았다. 지금까지 나의 모든 기대는 사진과 풍문을 통해 살아 있었고, 이 “동화 같은 것”을 내 눈으로 직접 보기로 결정했다.

Our train began to slow. Is this it? I pressed close to the window, stretching my gaze forward. A scattered line of cherry blossom trees passed my view. Outside, a few people ambled along by the tracks, posing for pictures with the flowers. We seemed to be entering a small town. The line of trees began to grow denser, forming a broken wall of pink flowers. More and more people filled up along the tracks, pausing to watch our train pass by. And suddenly, with a nonchalance that matched the leisured slowness of our train, the pink saplings gave way to their taller, grander elders.

What was once a level view now extended upwards above us. Long braches adorned with cherry blos-continued on p24-

soms arched majestically overhead. It was like everything you’ve read, seen, or heard about romance combined into one epic scene. 우리 기차가 느려지기 시작했다. 이게 다야? 나는 창문으로 가까이로 다가가 시야를 앞으 로 넓혀보았다. 벚꽃나무의 드문드문한 줄이 내 시야를 지나쳤다. 밖에는 몇몇 사람들이 트랙을 따라 느긋하게 걷고 있었고, 꽃과 함 께 사진을 찍기 위해 포즈를 취하고 있었다. 우리는 작은 마을로 들어가는 듯 보였다. 나 무의 줄은 점점 더 빽빽해지기 시작했고, 분 홍색 꽃으로 된 부서진 벽을 만들어 냈다. 더 많은 사람들이 트랙을 따라 가득 메우고 있 었고, 우리 기차가 지나가는 것을 보기 위해 잠깐 멈추기도 했다. 그리고 기차의 느긋한 느림 같은 무심함과 함께, 갑자기 분홍색 묘 목이 더 크고 더 웅장한 고목들에게 자리를 내주기 시작했다. 한 때 눈높이로 보이던 것 이 이제는 우리 위로 올라가버렸다. 벚꽃으 로 가득한 긴 나뭇가지들이 장엄하게 머리 위로 드리워졌다. 로맨스에 대해 읽고, 보고 들은 모든 것들이 하나의 장대한 광경으로 한데 얽힌 듯 했다.

So this is what it’s all about. As the display of brilliance passed by in a slow dreamlike gait, my eyes struggled to take everything in. Along with the intricate web of flowers over our heads, the crowd had swelled to hundreds.

Many people outside stopped what they were doing to admire the procession of our train through the shower of pink petals. I’m not sure who was more impressed with what they saw, those inside the train or those along the tracks. It was such a picturesque moment. 결국 이 게 다였구나. 꿈만 같은 느린 걸음걸이로 찬란한 광경이 지나가면서, 나의 눈은 모든 것을 담아내는 데 고 군분투했다. 머리 위로 복잡한 거미줄 같이 얽혀진 꽃을 따라, 사람들은 수백명으로 늘어났다. 바깥에 있는 사람 들은 흐드러지게 흩날리는 분홍 꽃잎 사이를 통과하는 우 리 기차를 감상하기 위해 하던 일을 멈추었다. 누가 더 보 고 있던 것에 대해 감명받았는 지는 모르겠다. 기차 안의 사람들이었는지 트랙 위에 있던 사람들이었는지. 단지 그 림 같은 광경이었다.

That was just the beginning of our day. In the next 5 hours I reconciled on every level with the city that had last year been marked an “incomplete” on my South Korea bucket list. We climbed the 365 steps to the view tower at Jehwangsan Park and saw the city rightfully

draped in its blotches of pink. We held hands and acted like a couple as we walked along Yeojwa Stream, the location of Korea’s “Romance Bridge”. And as the day winded down and the sun began its amber dip, we walked for a mile up the same tracks our train had come down earlier, once again searching for that magical pink oasis. 사진은 그 날의 시작이었다. 5시간 후에는 작년 한국에서 의 버킷리스트에서 ‘미완수’로 표시된 도시를 모든 면에서 감상했다. 우리는 걸어 제황산 공원에 있는 탑에서 경치 를 감상하기 위해 365 걸음을 올라갔고 도시가 분홍빛 얼 룩으로 아름답게 제대로 감싸진 도시를 보았다. 우린 손 을 잡고 마치 커플처럼 행동하며 한국의 ‘로망스 다리’가 있는 여좌천을 따라 걸었다. 그리고 날이 저물어가며 태 양이 호박빛으로 물들어갈 때, 다시 한번 마법 같은 핑크 빛 오아시스를 찾아보며 우리 기차가 도착했던 트랙에서 1.7km 정도 걸어 올라가 보았다.

Overcoming Culture Shock with Empathy Daegu's Best Guesthouse Written by Jane Kim / Photos provided by Empathy Guesthouse

It’s likely that upon arrival to Korea, many foreigners found some things about life here quite confusing. Take discarding food waste for example. Or making online purchases and bank transfers with a secret card. Or the crazy election campaign trucks that blare popular songs with candidates’ names in the lyrics.

Even for those of us familiar with life in a modern society, life in a new culture and society can be overwhelming. However, there are others in Daegu who frequently share this culture shock, and they aren’t foreigners.

They’re actually Korean citizens, and they speak Korean. They look Korean, too. This community of over 26

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.APRIL

26,000 is a special group of people. And they originate from above the 38th parallel: they are North Korean defectors.

There are currently approximately 850 North Korean defectors living in Daegu and Gyeongsan. Many may find this number surprisingly large, but it is less than 3% of the entire community in Korea. They have all made the long journey southward in dangerous conditions and have generally sacrificed much to do so.

Thus, once they are able to finally enter into South Korean society, they are simultaneously filled with ex-

citement and worries about their future in a hyper-competitive society. The government provides what may initially seem like a generous resettlement package, but the reality that awaits them is often grave, as they face serious barriers to resettlement in the form of loneliness, physical and psychological health issues, culture shock, and difficulties in the labor market due to a lack of basic skills. Learning to maneuver in a capitalistic and democratic society is a no easy task.

Enter the Empathy for a Better World Foundation. Empathy, a nonprofit organization that manages the Center for North Korean Defectors (CNKD), assists North Korean defectors on their journey by providing them comprehensive social welfare services. CNKD, which has its roots in poverty issues in Daegu, has assisted North Korean defectors in the region since 2003 and develops programs to address the needs of this population with various public and nonprofit institutions, including the Daegu Metropolitan City Government, Ministry of Unification, Ministry of Employment and Labor, the U.S.

Embassy Seoul, and North Korean Refugees Foundation. Programs currently offered include employment counseling and assistance, physical and mental health assistance, academic support, South-North integration programs, general resettlement assistance, and the Daegu Hana Center, which provides an 80-hour local community adjustment program for newly arrived residents.

In particular, Empathy is invested in many academic programs for youngsters as well as older university students, and this takes place in both its afterschool center in Sangin-dong and center downtown. The downtown center is Empathy’s newest addition, and houses Café Empathy, the Baeoomtuh (continuing education center), and the Empathy Guesthouse in a five-story brick building just off of Jungangro Station exit 1. This center is the next step towards realizing sustainability and social integration in Daegu, as it provides a safe community for people of various walks of life.

Furthermore, the Empathy Guesthouse is a social enterprise that opened mid last year to generate funds for Empathy’s programming for North Korean defectors. Not only is the guesthouse a new avenue for sustainability, it offers a unique opportunity to incorporate the various skill sets of North Korean defectors with the future of the guesthouse.

Empathy also engages in international exchange programs with the U.S., Japan, China, and other countries to further develop the work that is done in this field.

Programs have included leadership programs for students and capacity building programs for practitioners.

Furthermore, it provides opportunities for expats in Daegu to get involved in the issue through both volunteer activities and its interactive English Lecture series, “The Two Koreas”. Next month, it will offer a new program for foreigners who would like to learn about the reset-

tlement process for North Korean defectors through a three-day program from April 25~27.

You can also support Empathy by staying at the Empathy Guesthouse or referring people there. One night for a 6-person dorm is 25,000w/ person, 8-person dorm 24,000w. A bed in the 10-person room is 23,000w.

Daegu Medical Tourism in the Spotlight Submitted by Daegu Medical Tourism Board / Proofread by Katherine Kirk

◈ Medical tourism increases 2.5 times in 3 years Daegu’s medical tourism is showing a substantial amount of growth.

According to the city’s government, the number of foreign patients increased to 7,117 in 2012. This is 2.5 times more than that of 2009.

This year Daegu is pushing Medical Tourism into the spotlight with multiple specialized projects such as the Western-Oriental Medical Center and the Kyungbook University Hospital Hair Transplantation Center, headed

by Jung Chul Kim, a leading authority on hair transplantation. A combined hotel and hospital, the Meditel, will also be completed.

The city is also making a remarkable effort to guarantee the quality of Daegu’s medical tourism. In the beginning of March, the Daegu city government and Meritz fire & marine insurance company signed an MOU guaranteeing compensation for foreign patients in the event of damage resulting from medical accidents. As a result, foreign medical tourists are eligible for insurance benefits from every hospital in Daegu. ◈ Private enterprises lead Daegu’s Medical Tourism Medical institutions in Daegu are working hard to 32

promote Daegu’s bright future as a Medical Tourism destination. The Daegu Medical Tourism Promotion Committee in particular is leading the medical tourism marketing drive. The committee began as volunteers in local hospitals in January 2011. They established the Daegu Medical Tourism Information Center at Novotel, located in downtown Daegu.

Lately, Daegu Medical Tourism Promotion Committee has focused on building overseas information centers.

Five information centers promoting Daegu’s medical tourism have been established in Guiyang, Shenzhen, Qingdao, and Shenyang in China as well as Hanoi, Vietnam.

Furthermore, local hospitals in Daegu will provide high quality medical staff and technology support to the Philippines, Laos, and Ningbo, China. ◈ About the Daegu Medical Tourism Promotion Committee The Daegu Medical Tourism Promotion Committee is a non-profit organization established to promote the competitiveness and quality of the local medical services and the medical tourism industry, and to promote the image of Daegu as a medical tourism city.

How to Control Your Allergies 5 Essential Tips to Help You This Spring Written and photographed by Dr. Shin

This spring is expected to be three things: cold then warm and dry, which is bad news for seasonal rhinitis and allergy sufferers. Here are five ways recommended by me, Dr. Shin, to keep allergies under control this 2014 calendar year:

and reduces the levels of phlegm. Both are very helpful when yellow dust gets into your sinuses and makes a mess. I also recommend a program of acupuncture with Korean herbal medicine as you need to create balance in your body in order to recover naturally.

Keep pollen and dust out It seems like a no brainer but inviting yellow dust and pollen into your home will only increase the severity of the symptoms. Have you ever wondered why you sneezed at night after having your window open during the day? The best thing to use is an HEPA capable air filter, which can trap 99.9% of pollen and the fine yellow dust particles. Another simple trick is heading right into the shower and washing your hair when you come home to remove any pollen and dust. This also means avoid air drying clothes during the peak of the spring season, as clothing and bedding can become pollen and yellow dust magnets.

Essential oils are another thing I love to use on my patients for allergies and nasal congestion from pollen, yellow dust or just a simple cold. Hoo Clinic uses peppermint essential oils before treatment but there's no reason you can't use it at home when you feel stuffy.

Peppermint is an uplifting, refreshing scent that really goes to work on rhinitis and congestion. That's why the artificial stuff is used in so many over-the-counter medicines and nasal rubs like VICKS. I personally also like ginger essential oil as it clears any congestion and rhinitis like no other. It has anti-microbial properties and is great for the body. For those kitchen warriors, you know how powerful ginger can be as a seasoning or when you touch the bare slices on your hand. The oil concentrate is the next best thing.

Needle and Oils Allergies cause an increase of mucous production, and cleaning the nasal passages of excess mucous and allergens can offer symptom relief. A 2009 study in the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy reported that acupuncture significantly increased nasal air flow and decreased nasal obstruction in patients with chronic nasal congestion, sinusitis and rhinitis. I don't need a study to tell me what I already know. When I treat my patients with nasal acupuncture, they tell me they feel reborn. Nasal acupuncture also relieves inflammation 34

Try a local Korean produce spring detox No, this isn't Hoo Clinic's famed 30 day detox program but a program you can do with local Daegu and Gyeongsang produce. Improving the function of the liver, kidneys and digestive process improves the body’s ability to eliminate waste products and can make you less reactive to allergens such as tree pollen and yellow dust. Traditional Korean medicine believes herbal teas such as omija (the delicious five-flavour tea made from

Healthy Living - How to Control Your Allergies

http://daegucompass.com

small orange seed-like berries) are great for flushing toxins out of the body. Omijacha is one of my personal favorite Korean teas because, hot or cold, you never know the flavor you're going to get!

What else does Korea, Daegu and Gyeongsang have to offer for our Korean Rites of Spring detox?

Uiseong garlic is prized in these parts for being pungent, high quality and some of the best in all of Korea. The next would be miyeok (a kind of seaweed soup popular with new moms). This tasty soap provides a detoxification effect and tons of nutrition, hence why new moms eat it constantly for them and their offspring.

Minari (a Chungdo, near Daegu specialty) is a leafy green vegetable and in season this time of year. You will see restaurants combining it with samgyeopsal and touting its yellow dust fighting abilities. There's no evidence pork helps the body excrete yellow dust but pork farmers definitely love this time of year. From down on the western Jeollado area, comes Boseong green tea.

Green tea is also believed to help remove the heavy metals, which are often found in yellow dust and the fine particulate matter in the air. Drink and eat up!

Control Histamines Allergy reactions are caused by histamines, which are released by mast cells in the body. Antihistamines such Zytrec work by blocking this release of histamine from these cells. If you’re looking for a natural substitute, I recommend eating your alkaloids such as onions and garlic (shout out to Uiseong!). Quercetin is a flavonoid originally found in foods such as apple, garlic and onions. It helps stabilize mast cells so they're less likely to produce histamines.

Make a green tea eye mask Soak your green tea bags in warm or cold water, and apply them to the eyes for a few minutes. Very handy for days when the dust accumulation or pollen count is in the red 400-800 ppm areas. Green tea is an anti-inflammatory and has a lot of antioxidants so it can help calm down the inflammatory reaction that’s causing symptoms. It also has anti-aging properties so you can help keep those eyes in fluttering, great shape. A great two for one holistic health combination!

Chic Couple's Family Planning Teamwork From Planning Pregnancy to Postpartum Care Written by Weum Mal Do / Proofread by Sean DS / translated by Sun Lee

Obstetrics and gynecology hospitals today are not only places for medical procedures such as delivery and surgery. They also offer services for the family throughout the entire pregnancy, including prenatal and postpartum care for the child, mother, and father, lectures on health, and cultural education and events. Therefore, it would only be wise for a soon-to-be-married couple to carefully choose a suitable clinic and doctor and to establish rapport with them for happy and healthy family planning. Rather than hesitating, it is time for family planning with a specialized hospital. 최근 결혼시기가 점점 늦어짐에 따라 임신시기 또한 늦어 지고 있다. 이러한 현상은 신체적 노화로 인해 불임 가능 성이나 미숙아, 기형아 출산확률 또한 높아 사회적 문제 가 되고 있다. 정상적인 부부관계에도 불구하고 1년 이상

임신이 되지 않는 것을 난임이라 한다. 과거 난임의 원인 을 여성에게서만 찾았으나 최근 남성과 여성이 각각 40% 의 원인을 차지하고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 부부 가 함께 난임을 극복하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 일반적 으로 난임 판정을 받고 치료를 받는 부부 중, 70~80% 는 치료가 가능하다. 난임 검사에는 여성의 경우 기본적 인 초음파 검사, 난소기능 평가를 위한 호르몬 검사, 자 궁난관 조영술, 자궁내막조직검사가 있다. 검사가 끝나 면 대부분 바로 다음달 생리 주기에 맞춰 치료와 시술을 시작한다. 하지만 모든 검사가 한 번에 끝나는 것이 아니 라 생리 주기에 따라 진행돼 검사가 끝나는데 한두 달 이 상 걸릴 때도 있다. 남성의 경우 2~3일간 금욕 후 정액 검사를 받는다. 임신의 시기가 늦어지게 되면 여성의 건강 뿐 아니라 임 신 후 태아의 건강에도 영향을 끼치므로 산부인과를 찾

아 ‘임신 전 검사’를 받는 것이 바람직하다. 특히 임신을 앞두고 생리통이 심해진다거나 생리양이 많거나 적어지 고, 주기가 불규칙해지는 등 증상이 나타난다면 반드시 ‘ 임신 전 검사’를 받아본 후 주치의와 함께 임신계획을 세 워야 한다.

As average marriage age is increasing, the age of first-time mothers is increasing as well. It has become a social issue as advanced maternal age could result in infertility, premature births and deformity in babies.

As for infertility, couples who are not able to conceive after at least one year of unprotected intercourse may be experiencing primary infertility. In the past, women were solely considered to be responsible. However, we now know that 40% of infertility cases are due to female-specific causes, 40% are due to male-specific and 20% are due to a combination. Therefore, it is important for a couple to work together to treat their condition.

Generally speaking, 70-80% of primary infertility cases are curable. Primary infertility tests for women include pelvic ultrasounds, hormone tests of ovarian function, hysterotubographies, and endometrial biopsies. After the tests, the treatments begin at the onset of the

next menstrual cycle. However, the tests may require more than one month because they are based around the menstrual cycle. The tests for men include sperm testing after two to three days of abstinence. Advanced maternal age may cause medical issues not only for the mother but also for the baby, so it is recommended that the mother see a doctor for a pre-conception test.

If a woman is having sudden symptoms of worsening cramps, changes in volume of menstrual flow or irregular menstruation cycle during pregnancy planning, she must consult with a doctor for a pre-conception test.

“임신 전후관리 어떻게?"

"Note: About Pre-conception and Postpartum Care" 1. 임신 준비를 위한 검사 ‘임신 전 검사’는 자궁의 건강 상태 뿐 아니라 예비산모의 당뇨나 고혈압과 같은 만성질 환의 여부, 갑상선 기능 이상 등을 체크하고 나아가 산후 출혈이나 조산의 위험률을 예방하는 등 산모와 태아의 건 강을 위해서라면 반드시 필요한 검사이다. ‘임신 전 검사’ 는 일반적으로 빈혈, 소변검사, 혈액형 검사, B형간염검 사, 갑상선 기능검사, 풍진 면역여부와 함께 자궁암, 유방 -continued on p38-

37

암 등의 초음파검사 등이 포함되어 있다. 이 외 선천적 결 함을 줄 수 있는 매독이나 에이즈 등의 성병 여부 검사도 시행한다. 또한 비만이 심하다든지 생리가 불규칙한 사람 은 배란여부를 잘 예측할 수 없으므로 적절한 운동, 식이 요법으로 체중조절을 통해 건강한 몸을 만드는 동시에 전 문의와 상담하여 배란유무를 체크하는 것도 필요하다. 풍 진이나 간염 등의 항체가 없다면 예방접종을 통해 항체 를 형성한 후에 임신을 할 수 있도록 준비한다. 남성은 정 자의 모양, 개수, 정자의 이동경로 와 운동성을 측정하는 SA(SPERM ASSAY)검사와 호르몬, 요도염, 전립선 검 사 등을 함께 받아보길 권한다.

1. Pre-conception Tests A 'Pre-conception test' is an essential test for a healthy mother and fetus. It generally includes an anemia examination, urine test, blood-type test, hepatitis B test, thyroid gland function test, measles immunity test and uterus and breast ultrasounds for cancer examination. It can also include syphilis and AIDS tests as they can cause congenital malformation.

Severe obesity and an irregular menstruation cycle can make it difficult to predict ovulation, so it is important to prepare the body through regular exercise and a well-balanced diet, as well as consult with a doctor to check ovulation periods. If a woman is not immune to measles or hepatitis, she must test for antibodies before conception. Men are recommended to have a SA (Sperm Assay) test to evaluate number, structure, viscosity and mobility. It is also recommended to have hormone, urethritis and prostate examinations.

2. 임신 중 검사 기다리던 임신이 되면 주치의로부터 철저 히 관리를 받아야 한다. 기본 혈액검사, 초음파 검사 외에 기형아 통합검사(integrated test)를 임신 10~12주, 임 신 16~18주에 두 차례 혈액검사로 실시한다. 검사 정확 도는 90~94%이다. 고위험군으로 나타나면 양수검사를 받아서 염색체 이상 유무를 확인해야 한다. 임신 10~12 주에 태반조직에서 융모막 검사를 할 수도 있지만, 위험성 이 있기 때문에 기본적인 검사로 시행하지는 않는다. 임신 20~24주에 정밀 초음파로 태아의 장기와 외부구조에 대 한 이상 여부를 검사받는다. 24~28주에 임신성 당뇨 검사 를 통해 위험을 예방하고, 만약 가족 중에 당뇨 환자가 있 다면 더 조심해야 한다. 고령임신부의 경우 조산 위험도가 2배 이상이므로 자궁경부 길이 측정과 비수축 검사(태동 검사)로 조기 진통의 위험성도 미리 대처하는 편이 좋다.

2. Prenatal Tests Once pregnancy starts, a couple should work closely with their doctor. Besides basic blood tests and ultrasounds, two integrated blood tests and congenital anomaly tests are conducted, one between 10 to 12 weeks and the other between 16 to 18 weeks, which are 90 - 94% accurate. If diagnosed as a high-risk group patient, the mother should test her amniotic fluid for genetic disorders. Chorionic villus sam38

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.APRIL

pling between 10 to 12 weeks is another option, but due to risk is not conducted as a basic test. Between 20 to 24 weeks, the baby's physical appearance and organ structure can be tested and observed through 3D ultrasounds. Gestational diabetes screening should be conducted between 24 to 28 weeks and the mother should pay closer attention if she has a family member with diabetes. Older mothers have higher premature birth risk factors than younger ones. Therefore, they should prepare for these risks of premature contractions through cervical length scans and fetal movement scans.

3. 분만 전 검사 분만 예정일을 1개월 정도 남겨둔 시점 에는 분만 시 갑작스레 일어날 수 있는 수술이나 응급 상 황에 대비해 마지막 종합검진을 받는 것이 건강한 출산 에 도움이 된다.

3. Antepartum Tests During the last month of pregnancy, a mother should undergo antepartum tests to prevent emergency situations or prepare for surgery.

4. 출산 후 관리 분만 후 6주까지는 ‘산욕기’라 하여 임 신으로 인해 나타난 신체적인 변화(자궁, 질, 골반의 확 장)가 임신 전 상태로 돌아가는 시기이자 탄생 후 엄마와 아기의 교감시기이므로 심리적 안정과 건강체크가 중요 하다. 요즘 병원에서 직접 운영하거나 병원과 연계한 산 후조리원의 다양한 산후관리 프로그램을 통해 빠른 회복 을 할 수 있으므로 부부가 함께 상의 해 신중한 선택을 해 야 할 것이다.

4. Post Partum Care The six weeks after childbirth is the postpartum period, when the body heals and adjusts. It is also a time for the mother to bond with her baby. Therefore, psychological security and follow-up medical checkups are very important. There are a variety of postpartum care programs offered by clinics or postnatal care centers that a couple may want to consider for a healthy and happy postpartum period.

Health is an crucial element of a happy family.

When we are healthy, our family is happier. As life expectancy reaches 100 years old and the population ages, regular medical checkups are given more attention than ever. The most important issue is screening a disease early. The National Health Insurance Corporation(NHIC) is offering essential and basic medical tests and scanning throughout a lifetime, including infancy and middlescence, and early cancer screening to promote public health. It is very important to know which member of the family is eligible for which NHIC tests.

Vitiligo Painless Micropigmentation for Healthier Skin Submited by The Contour / Proofread by Sean DS / translated by Sun Lee

V

itiligo is a dermatological condition that causes depigmentation, with enlarged white patches of irregular shapes appearing on the skin. In modern medicine it remains a disease of unknown cause. However, because 30% of the patients have a family member with the same condition, genetic factors may play a role. Among possible causes are autoimmune disorder, neurogenic factors or self-destruction, while a convergence of theories is becoming predominant.

Vitiligo is primarily a cosmetic issue, as white patches appear without itchiness.

They are prominent on bony parts such as hands, feet, knees and elbows and around orifices such as eyes and mouth.

Vitiligo is a relatively common condition that affects 0.5~2% of the total population, and 50% of cases develop before the age of twenty.

The treatment methods usually include cosmetics and micropigmentation. Micropigmentation is a relatively comfortable method that is neither painful nor expensive and does not require surgical sedation or hospitalization. It camouflages the depigmented appearance by infusingartificial pigments into the epidermis.

The Contour is a skincare clinic offering micropigmentation practiced by a certified practitioner using painless digital machines. In order to minimize the side-effects, the clinic practices safety

The progress of the condition differs between individuals as does post-micropigmentation fading.

Gay, Geh, Gae, Gey? Netizens Poke Fun at Translation Written by Brian Van Hise

Foreigners living in Korea often take a stab at learning Korean. Like any other foreign language, one first must develop a solid understanding of the phonetics involved in the target language. As a native English speaker attending my first German class way back in high school, I realized that while the German alphabet was the same as the English one, there were a few adjustments. “W” was pronounced like “V” and “V” was pronounced like “F” and “F”... well “F” was still just plain old “F” in the end.

So, for most of us learning Korean, we realize that the key is understanding Hangul, the Korean alphabet. And in that process, we may make notes or flash cards with the Roman alphabet to serve as hints or help guide us along the way until the Hangul letters and diphthong combinations themselves make sense. Most Korean books boast that learning Hangul doesn’t really take long, so most non-native speakers of Korean tend to 42

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.APRIL

learn the alphabet with relative ease.

What doesn’t typically happen though, is for foreigners to learn the Romanization of Hangul and never Hangul itself. The Romanization of letters serves merely as a stepping stone or as a way of making life easier for tourists visiting this country for a short period. So, while there is a “standard Romanization” that has been accepted for Hangul, most learners of the language will use their own shorthand to notate the pronunciations as they see fit.

Well, here at the Daegu Compass, we ourselves ran into a funny little incident this past month. Our article “How to Order Food,” which has run on a single page near the back of every issue for the past two years, recently caused some buzz among Korean netizens. Someone had noticed we Romanized the word 개 (counter word) as “gay.” The standard Romanization would have been

Daegu Community - Gay, Geh, Gae, Gey?

http://daegucompass.com

“gae” but we chose “gay” two years ago with no other thought than it was the most basic/easiest pronunciation of the word 개. It could just as easily have been “geh” or “gey.”

Kyung Hyang News, an agency that reports on hot internet topics in Korea, picked up on the midMarch trending item and called our managing editor Yuri Lee about the piece, asking if it was some kind of “homosexual code” or joke of some sort. Lee explained that it was simply for phonetic clarification among foreigners learning to speak Korean.

Ravioli, T-Bone Steak Gnocchi, Calzone

The misunderstanding comes in the Konglish pronunciation of “gay” in Korea (which is 게이 or “gayee”). Thus saying “gay-ee” for 개 would seem very strange to Korean eyes, though the original English pronunciation of “gay” as 개 is suitable for our purposes.

Either way, we here at the Compass had a good laugh at the silliness of the situation...and you’ll notice we’ve decided to keep our guide untouched, as no one from our wonderful network of readers has spoken up about it otherwise.

An Afternoon with "The Phantom” Written by Gary Lynn / Photos provided by The Phantom of the Opera Production Team / Translated by Yujeong Lee

On Saturday, March 8th, my friends and I took the green line to see “The Phantom of the Opera." Once we arrived at the Keimyung University stop, we took exit 7 and we were only a hundred yards from the Art Center. Walking up to the theatre, we were impressed by the building and the banners that celebrate the 25th anniversary of "The Phantom of the Opera,” Broadway's longest running musical. It has been produced in 145 cities, in 27 counties and celebrated its 10,000th performance on January 11, 2012. It is estimated that more than 130 million people have seen Phantom and the total worldwide gross is now in excess of $5.6 billion. The box office revenues are higher than any other film or stage play in history – including AVATAR, Titanic, and Star Wars.

To say the show was AWESOME is an understatement.

Between the music, the transitions, and the special effects, this show was SUPERB! At the end of the performance, I spoke with the production manager Mr. John Chang-Hyun and requested an interview the cast members. With his help, I was able to interview Mr. Brad Little (who plays the Phantom), Miss Claire Lyon (who plays Christine Daae’) and Mr. Phillip Godawa the Associate Director. Phillip is the man behind the magic of the different scenes of the Phantom. They transform the stage

Real cool! 공연이 멋졌다고 말을 하는 것은 과소평가한 것과 같다. 음 악과 트랜지션, 특수효과 사이로 공연은 최고였다! 공연이 끝나고 나서 프로덕션 매니저인 존 창현과 이야기를 나누 고 캐스팅 멤버와의 인터뷰를 요청했다. 그의 도움으로 브 래드 리틀(팬텀역)과 클레어 라이온(크리스틴역), 부디렉 터인 필립 고다와와 인터뷰를 할 수 있었다. 필립은 팬텀의 여러 장면의 마법 뒤에 숨겨진 사람이다. 그들은 몇 초만에 무대를 대무대에서 지하 레어로 바꾸는 일을 한다. 그런데 본인에게 가장 감명 깊었던 부분은 무대를 물에 떠 있는 보 트처럼 만들어 놓은 것이었다. 정말 멋졌다!

She has not had a chance to see Daegu so I gave her a Daegu Compass, so they could explore and see what restaurants and other things Daegu had to offer. 클레어와 이야기를 나누는 동안 연기자의 목소리에 대한 필요 때문에(두 씬을 제외하고 매회 노래를 해야한다) 얼 터네이트가 필요하다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이 것이 팬텀의 독특한 점이다. 다른 공연에서는 하지 않는다. 에밀리 린 이 그 역할을 맡고 있다. 두 명 모두 아름다운데다 목소리 가 굉장하다. 클레어는 호주 멜버른 출신이며 “마이 페어 레이디”, “피가로의 결혼”을 포함하여 여러 작품에서 공 연을 했다. 그녀의 가장 자랑스러웠던 공연은 “오페라의 유령”이라고 했다. 대구를 둘러 볼 기회가 이제껏 없었다 고 해서 대구가 선사해줄 수 있는 맛집과 더 많은 것들을 탐험하고 보라고, 대구 컴퍼스를 그녀에게 건네 주었다.

While talking with Brad, Claire, and Phillip I felt a sense of camaraderie. Phillip went on to explain that everyone from the light assistant, to the wardrobe department, to the performer themselves all had deep pride and passion for the performance of the Phantom. There are 130 cast, crew, and orchestra members directly involved in each performance. Each performance has 230 costumes , 14 dressers , 120 automated cues , 22 scene changes , 281 candles and uses 250kg of dry ice and 10 fog and smoke machines. 브래드와 클레어, 필립과 인터뷰를 하는 동안 왠지 동지 애를 느꼈다. 필립은 계속해서 조명 어시스턴트부터 시작 해서 의상담당, 연기자들까지, 모두가 팬텀의 공연에 대 한 깊은 자부심과 열정을 갖고 있다고 설명했다. 공연진 과 크루, 오케스트라 단원 등 130명이 직접적으로 매 공 연에 관련되어 있으며, 각 공연에는 230벌의 의상, 14 개의 서랍장, 120개의 자동화된 신호, 22번의 장면전환, 281개의 초, 드라이아이스 250kg 와 10개의 스모그 머 신을 사용한다.

I have seen but by the theatre staff. I spoke to an usher Annabelle Min Jung, who is a senior at Keimyung University and who has been working at the Art Center since its opening five years ago. Out of all the Broadway shows performed there (Jekyll & Hyde, 42nd Street and The Phantom of the Opera), Phantom was by far the best. Not only in attendance (1500 the afternoon of my interview) but for its music and magic. The Art Center is the largest theatre in Daegu and everyone I have seen at the end of each performance of the Phantom came out HAPPY AND AMAZED! 이러한 열정은 내가 봤던 공연에서만 확인된 것이 아니라 극장 스탭에게서도 볼 수 있었다. 계명대 4학년이자 5년 전 아트센터가 개관했을 때부터 일해온 좌석안내원인 애 나벨 민정과 이야기를 나눴다. 아트센터에서 열렸던 브로 드웨이 공연 중(지킬앤하이드, 42번가, 오페라의 유령) 오 페라의 유령이 단연코 최고라고 했다. 관객수(인터뷰를 했 던 오후 기준으로 1500명)뿐만이 아니라 공연의 음악과 마법도 그러했다. 아트센터는 대구에서 가장 큰 공연장이 고 매 회 공연이 끝나고 내가 봤던 관객들 모두는 행복하 고 즐거워하며 공연장에서 나왔다.

You REALLY need to see this show! It will be playing at the Keimyung University Art Center through May 4th.

Pirates of Penzance Opera Spoonful April Production Submitted by the Opera Spoonful

Theatre in Daegu is always a wonderful thing. April 2014 brings another rollicking production to life. Victoria Anderson has been fortunate to be involved with several amazing productions; Cock, Princess Bride, and Baggage Claim to name a few. This is why she’s super stoked to produce and direct Pirates of Penzance for Opera Spoonful.

the audience involved. For Victoria, it gave her license to let her uber geek card fly. Because Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance is in public domain, she was able to re-write it to include many geek culture references. Victoria work-shopped it with Jarrod Clegg, Elaine Fenwick, Rose Bradshaw, and Jeremy Foster. “We were all on the same page and we totally pushed it to 11.”

Victoria was inspired by Jarrod Clegg’s Princess Bride production. Says Victoria, “He had a wonderful team to work with and I wanted to recreate that camaraderie with another production. I felt out several different options amongst my mates and came up with Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance. Everyone was eager to see that get off the ground. Usually panto is associated with winter and Christmas. To wit, I got the idea in December of 2013. I was a bit homesick, I guess.

Panto is rowdy and loud and very much fun for everyone involved.”

The fun really began with auditions. Victoria wanted the cast to jell and work well together more than she wanted the best talent. “With this cast, I got both! Everyone works so well together, it’s made the production process easy! I can’t wait until April 5 and 6, 2014 when we present our vision of Pirates to the good citizens of Daegu! If you are familiar with panto, you’ll love this. If you are new to panto, come for the experience. Come just to see Jamie Kistler as the pirate king and Jarrod Clegg as the Major General! That alone is worth the price of admission!”

Victoria re-imagined Pirates as a traditional panto. Panto takes familiar stories and injects a bit of music hall or vaudeville into them. It started in the 15th/16th century, but utilizes many contemporary references. The lead boy of the production, Frederick, is played by a woman.

The panto Dame is a man in drag. The side-kick keeps

Opera Spoonful’s production of Pirates of Penzance is April 5 and 6, 2014 at the New Company Theater. Show times are 5pm and 8pm. New Company is located at Jung-guNamsan 2dong, Jungan B/D 5F. It’s between exit 19 and 20 at the Banwaldong stop on the green line.

Pohang Inaugural Softball Tournament Weekend of Champions Written and photographed by Sean Rugge

Last year in late spring/early summer, a handful of people in Pohang began organizing on weekends to play softball. As we began to network through facebook with people from Daegu, Gyeongju, Daejeon, Ulsan, Bundang, and other places around Korea, we were able to organize a team together, compete in a couple of tournaments, make some great friendships, and see parts of Korea that some of us probably wouldn’t have seen or known about otherwise. During the fall we continued to have games regularly and developed a friendly rivalry with Gyeongju as we would coordinate to play any opportunity that we could. Each opportunity to get together and play provided an atmosphere of camaraderie and gentle trash talk mixed with the benefit of getting some exercise. Having gone through this experience, the next logical step was for Pohang to become host for a tournament in this city by the sea.

However, there is so much more to our city than the group of fast friends who love playing softball together.

If you enjoy beaches, just north of the city, Chilpo and Wolpo beach are two of the more widely visited beaches in the Pohang area during the summer season attracting those looking for a pension stay, a camping spot on the shore, or the occasional summer wave session. In the city, Yeongildae (formerly Bukbu beach) has become a nightlife spot for many featuring a boardwalk along the bay littered with hotels, restaurants, and bars overlooking the vibrant lights from Posco. The street behind the main boardwalk has several amenities as well, including some more affordable options for accommodation as well as one of the main foreigner spots in Pohang;Tilt Bar n Grill. If you prefer hiking in the mountains and freshwater to saltwater, Bogyeongsa, nestled into the mountains north of the city, presents a hike that features 12 waterfalls with several spots to rest your feet in the cool mountain stream along the way up or coming back http://daegucompass.com

down and you may even see some folks taking a dip in the deep pools carved out of the rock by the forces of water and time. So while you can visit us for some softball, there is so much more to see and do.

Pohang's first ever Buddha Bowl Softball Tournament sponsored by Pohang’s Tilt Bar n Grill, is a 2 day softball tournament to be held Sunday, May 4th and Monday, May 5th (Children's Day) at the Gok River Soccer and Baseball fields in Heunghae a suburb of Pohang (near Chilpo Beach) and about a 10-15 minute taxi ride from the northern part of town (Bukgu).

Minimum of 4 teams with a of maximum 8 teams.

Guaranteed 4 games, maximum of 6 games.

Sunday, May 4th - Day 1 - round robin style (3 games) on the grass soccer fields by Gok River Monday, May 5th - Day 2 - Single elimination playoffs (at least 1 game, possibly 3) on dirt baseball fields (adjacent to the soccer fields) Costs - 200,000 per team.

Rosters – between 10 – 13 players with a maximum of 10 guys and minimum of 2 girls per team. 2 girls must play on defense at all times.

Screenprinting in Daegu Supporting a Community of Creativity Written by Jess Hinshaw / Photos by Lundie-Louis Robert / Translated by Yujeong Lee

MESH Printing started out as a way to meet other artists and share with them. Before moving to Korea, I was working a few different screenprinting places in Atlanta. When I got to Korea, I set out to find the materials to get started printing again, which proved difficult. However, once I had all the necessary materials I began printing some work. Before long, I realized that I wanted to find other printmakers here. I started meeting with people and showing them how to create art in the small apartments of South Korea.

MESH프린팅은 다른 작가들을 만나 고 그를 나누기를 위한 방법으로 시 작했다. 한국으로 오기 전, 필자는 애 틀랜타에서 몇몇 다른 스크린 프린팅 관련 장소에서 일하고 있었다. 한국 에 와서 프린팅을 다시 시작하기 위해 재료들을 찾아 나서기 시작했지만 쉽 지 않았다. 하지만 필요한 재료를 모 두 갖추자 작품을 프린팅하기 시작했 다. 얼마 후에 이 곳의 다른 프린트 제 작자들을 찾고 싶어지기 시작했다. 그 래서 필자의 스튜디오에서 모임을 열 어 사람들에게 한국에 있는 각자의 작 은 집에서 어떻게 예술을 창조해내는

As you know, so many expats here are teachers (including myself).

Schedules vary, but a lot of us teach at night, leaving our entire day free.

I posted a message about the meeting on some facebook groups, and realized that so many people here are looking for something productive to do with their time. I wasn’t sure how much interest there would be, but the meeting filled so quickly that I had to offer another one the following weekend. Some had some art experience, but most were just interested in learning something new. 아시다시피 (본인을 포함하여) 대구 의 수많은 외국인들은 선생님을 하 고 있다. 스케쥴도 제각기이지만 많 은 사람들이 밤에 일하고 대부분의 낮 시간은 텅텅 비어있다. 필자는 페이스 북 그룹 페이지에 모임에 대한 내용을 올렸고, 대구의 꽤 많은 사람들이 남 는 시간에 뭔가 생산적인 일을 찾고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 얼마나 많 은 관심이 있을 지 확실하지 않았지만 참가인원은 아주 빠르게 채워졌고 다 음 주말에 다른 모임을 열어야 했다.

몇몇은 미술에 대한 경험이 있었으나 대부분 새로운 것을 배우는 데 관심 이 있었다.

Through this I met Chris Cote, who I immediately made a connection with. He’d never screenprinted before, but before long we decided to work together on these printing meetings and our own work. We found a small space that we could call a studio, and started printing and showing people how to print.

We decided we’d use the space for two purposes: to print our work and to share with others how to screenprint. 이 모임을 통해 필자는 크리스 코트를 만났고 즉시 그와 관계를 만들었다. 그는 한 번도 스크린프린팅을 해 본 적이 없었지만 오래지 않아서 함께 모 임을 진행하고 우리들만의 작업을 하 기로 결정했다. 스튜디오로 사용할 수 있는 작은 공간을 찾아 냈고 프린팅 과 모임을 시작했다. 우리는 그 공간 은 두 가지 목적으로 사용하기로 마음 먹었다. 우리의 작업을 찍어내고 사람 들에게 스크린프린트를 보여주는 장 소로 말이다.

Daegu Community - Screenprinting in Daegu

http://daegucompass.com

In South Korea, screenprinting is a still considered a very industrial medium. Though Daegu is a pretty large city, finding materials here proved a difficult task since they are located in an industrial district, not in an art store. It took me nearly 6 months to find all of the materials needed to print, and we are still finding new places with better supplies. 한국에서 스크린프린팅은 여전히 아 주 산업적인 매체로 인식되고 있다. 대구가 규모가 꽤 큰 도심임에도 불 구하고 재료를 이 곳에서 찾는 것은 어려운데 가게들이 미술용품가게가 아닌 공단지역에 위치하고 있기 때문 이다. 프린트에 필요한 재료들을 모두 찾아내는 데 거의 6개월이 걸렸고 여 전히 우리는 항상 재료를 우리에게 맞 게끔 손을 보고 있다.

Our meetings do a few different things. For one thing, we show people where they can get materials.

We then cover the basics of coating, burning, and printing screens, but we tailor it specifically to those who have very little space and don’t have the perks of a studio light table and dedicated printing space. We show them how to expose a screen with the sun, how to print without hinges, using their shower as a drying/ washout room, and other DIY methods. Due to the size of our studio, our meetings can only accommodate 8 people. This is really the perfect number though, allowing each attendee to get plenty of one-on-one attention. 우리의 모임은 몇몇 가지의 것들을 보 여주는데 하나는 사람들에게 재료를 어디에서 구할 수 있는 지를 알려주 는 것이다. 그리고 코팅, 버닝, 프린팅 스크린을 보여주지만 특히 거의 공간 이 없거나 스튜디오 조명 테이블과 프 린트 전용 작업공간을 마련하지 못하 는 사람들을 대상으로 모임의 초점을 맞췄다. 어떻게 태양에 스크린을 노출 시키는지, 어떻게 경첩과 다른 DIY도

http://daegucompass.com

구없이 샤워를 건조 및 씻어내는 장소 로 이용해서 프린트하는 법 등을 보 여주었다. 스튜디오 크기 때문에 8명 이상 모임에 초대할 수가 없다. 하지 만 이 인원수는 딱이어서 각각의 사 람들에게 1:1로 충분한 관심을 쏟을 수 있다.

We offer two opportunities to learn, a beginner’s session and an advanced session. We require that everyone take the beginner’s session first to learn the basics. The twohour beginner session focuses on paper printing while the advanced class gets into fabric printing and multiple colors. The advanced class has the students leave with their own screen, with their artwork burned into it. Recently we acquired a t-shirt printing press, and are looking forward to incorporating that into our sessions. We really want people to get started printing after they leave, and to be excited about it. The more printers in the city, the better. 우리는 스크린프린팅을 배울 수 있는 기본세션과 고급세션, 두 세션을 열었 다. 우리는 모두에게 기초를 알기 위 해 초급세션을 먼저 듣기를 요구했다. 두시간짜리 기본세션은 종이 프린팅 에 집중했고, 고급세션은 천 프린팅과 다양한 색을 이용하는 데에 초점을 맞 췄다. 고급세션에 참석한 사람들은 개 인 작품을 새긴 개인 스크린을 가져 갈 수 있게 했다. 최근에는 티셔츠 프 린팅 프레스를 장만하게 되어서 모임 에서 해 볼 수 있기를 기대한다. 우리 는 사람들이 모임에 참석하고 돌아간 후에도 프린팅을 시작하기를 정말 원 했고, 프린팅을 즐길 수 있길 바랐다. 도시에 프린터들이 많아질수록 더 좋 은 것이다.

We’ve held almost a dozen meetings in 2+ years, and continue to see growth and interest in them. We do our best to make it accessible to everyone, artistically inclined or not.

There has been an increased diversity in who is attending our events;

Daegu Community - Screenprinting in Daegu

we have taught students from South Africa, Australia, Ireland, Korea, and more. Bringing people from different nationalities together in the name of screenprinting feels pretty good. 우리는 2년 이상 12회 정도의 모임을 열었고 이에 대한 흥미와 발전을 계 속해서 볼 수 있었다. 예술가적이 성 향이 있든 없든 모두가 모임에 참여 할 수 있게끔 노력하고 있다. 모임에 오는 사람들의 층이 다양해졌는데 남 아공, 호주, 아일랜드, 한국 등등에서 온 사람들을 만났다. 스크린프린팅이 라는 이름 아래 다양한 국적의 사람 들을 한 데 모으는 것은 꽤나 기분 좋 은 일이었다.

Our next meeting will be in April. The best way to find out details on dates and times is to join the Art Daegu facebook page. We always post here first when decide on a meeting time. You can also look us up on the MESH Printing facebook page, or email us at meshprinting@gmail. com. 다음 모임은 4월에 있다. 이에 대한 자세한 사항은 페이스북의 Art Daegu 페이지에 가입하면 가장 잘 알 수 있다. 모임이 있으면 항상 이 곳 에 가장 먼저 올린다. 그리고 MESH Printing 페이스북 페이지를 체크하 거나 meshprinting@gmail.com로 이메일을 보내면 된다.

If you aren’t exactly sure what screenprinting is, you can see some of our work on our website, www. meshprint.blogspot.com. We love making art and we love sharing what we know. Let us know if you want to get involved! 스크린프린팅이 정확히 무엇인지 모르겠다면 우리 웹사이트 www. meshprint.blogspot.com를 방문 해서 작품을 감상할 수 있다. 우리는 예술을 창조하는 것을 사랑하며 우리 가 아는 것을 나누는 것을 사랑한다. 당신이 참여하고 싶다면 언제든지 연 락바란다.

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 describe the experience.

Seomun Market is Daegu’s biggest market. Each type of product is concentrated in a specific area. BARGAIN, it’s challenging, but fun. We hope you have an awesome time and try to enjoy and see as much of the market as possible. We would like to thank Dyren J. Billups-Adam for his photos of the different areas. Thanks bud!

Gajok Gajok means 'family' in Korean. That's the feeling you get when you step inside this wonderful Korean restaurant. Now, before you start to get a mental picture of the food it serves, just know that most of the meat is from the thigh and not the actual foot.

What??? Yes, Gajok serves pig's foot for dinner.. But it's not like you are eating the hoof of the pig. In Korea, the foot and leg seems to go hand in hand, so it is similar to eating drumsticks (chicken legs). Enjoy! Check out the Bangcheon Market Map on p59 for directions.

Daehan News / Two Ppul Grilled over an open flame. That's the concept behind Daehan News and Two Ppul.

After selecting your choice of steak or pork, a server really heats things up as it cooks your meat with a mini blowtorch. Sounds hot, right? The Korean sides provided compliment the meal perfectly. The interior of both restaurants is in true Korean 'pojang macha' style where dining around a stainless steel table with clear plastic walls sheltering you from the elements. So next time its Korean night, head on over to either of these meaty restaurants. Check out the Bangcheon Market Map on p59 for directions. <Daeghan News> 12PM~12AM • 053-423-3990 • 6, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu <Two Ppul> 5PM~1AM • 053-422-1033 • 7-15, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu

Pic&iq VIP treatment at Pic&iq is what you get when dining at this special restaurant. The owner and chef caters personally to your dinner party since you have to make a reservation before coming. Why, you might wonder? Pic&iq is only opened from 6-10pm, and you can call from 3pm to reserve one of four tables. The dinner is a set menu of grilled, marinated pork, tortilla bread, salad and grilled tomatoes and bananas. The chef also prepares a special ramyeon for the meal. VIP treatment without the VIP prices makes this a wonderful experience. Check out the Bangcheon Market Map on p59 for directions.

Kim Gwang-suk Road Not far from bustling downtown next to the Bangcheon Marketplace, Kim Kwang-suk Road is a lengthy alleyway that displays several murals and other small works of art upon its walls, dedicated to the popular Korean folk singer in the late 80’s and early 90’s, Kim Kwang-suk (1964~1996). He was well loved by the younger generations at the time for his soulful vocals and contemplative lyrics which deeply reflected the transition of Korea in late 80s. The area is quite isolated, taking you away from the busy and hectic city life, and dropping you into a surrealistic wonderland of art where time seems to be still for a moment.
