Caliente Dos! Caliente Turns up the Heat with Second Location in Daegu Written and photographed by Ivan Broida

Not far from downtown Daegu, tucked away in the Daebong neighborhood, the new Caliente Gastro Pub makes a lot of ambitious promises. Caliente is a familiar name for many, as it has been synonymous with TexMex style food for quite some time now in the Samdeok Fire Station area of downtown. Caliente Gastro Pub is a departure from the original concept, but it doesn’t shy away from its roots.

Daebong-dong itself is an up-and-coming neighborhood, right behind the towering Central Plaza apartment buildings. A lot of restaurants and bars have started popping up all along the Daebong main road, as it often happens when a place or a street becomes popular.

This area has the usual fare of Korean restaurants and bars, so can Caliente Gastro Pub set itself apart from the rest?

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.SEPTEMBER

Firstly, let’s talk about what Caliente Gastro Pub is not. It is not a rehash of the first Caliente. It doesn’t serve TexMex food, it doesn’t have a DJ playing loud music, and the bartenders don’t do cocktail shows. For all of that, the Caliente in the downtown area is more than happy to entertain. Caliente Gastro Pub does have a pool table, a couple of dart boards, and a TV playing music videos.

However, the music is softer than at the downtown location and it has a resident mixologist who will be more than happy to whip up any kind of drink or cocktail.

Caliente Gastro Pub wouldn’t brandish that name if it didn’t offer some carefully crafted dishes. The menu, which will be revised and expanded seasonally, has a definite Mediterranean and European tilt to it, and this is a good thing. The dishes I tried fell along those lines. The first one, the Melon Prosciutto Salad, which includes the

Daegu Food - Caliente Dos!

two title ingredients plus cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, is a refreshing starting dish. It satisfyingly blends the sweetness of the melon with the salty, nutty flavor of the prosciutto ham.

This was followed by the Broqueta, a skewered-meat (chicken, beef, and shrimp) dish with grilled vegetables and corn on the cob. The Broqueta is prepared using quite a generous amount of fire at the bar’s grill, which gives it an additional oomph of fun. The next dish, the croquette, is traditionally regarded as having originated in France but it is truly an international food, with each country adding its own twist to it. The one offered at Caliente Gastro Pub comes filled with chicken and vegetables, with an aioli pickle dipping sauce. The final dish is emblematic of the Spanish peninsula, the Spanish Tortilla. This thick egg omelette comes filled with potatoes, onions, and chorizo ham. Caliente Gastro Pub is proud of the quality and uniqueness of the food it serves.

Of course, a gastro pub would not be complete without beer. For the beer enthusiast, there are some excellent beers on tap, which are generally not available at other bars or pubs. For the not-so-picky drinker, the classics are there as well.

The atmosphere of this new gastro pub is relaxed, and it is great for meeting friends and have conversations over great beer and even better food. It will have some exciting events soon, including one where customers will get a free beer. Caliente Gastro Pub is open daily from 5pm to 3am.

Daegu Food - Caliente Dos!

http://daegucompass.com

▶Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier: Naturally cloudy and shining silky gold in the glass under a really strong head of foam. At the first mouthful this Weissbier classic has a mild aroma of banana. Finer palates detect a trace of mango and pineapple and the balance between sweet and bitter. Beer connoisseurs appreciate the fine note of yeast and the mild but sparkling mix of aromas. It is a typical beer garden beer, which brings people together all over the world.

▶Indica IPA: Indica is a hoppy, full-bodied ale. It has a higher than average alcohol content balanced by radical bittering from Columbus hops, then dry hopped with generous amounts of Willamette and Centennial hop flowers.

▶Weihenstephan: A flavourful beer enjoyed with fine poured, white foam. With a mild hoppy note and its pleasant fresh spicy taste, it goes very well with salads, poultry, stews or with a hearty snack.

Daegu Photo Biennale 2014 ‘Photographic Narrative’ Information provided by Yuri Kim / Translated by Kate Ko

The 5th Daegu Photo Biennale 2014 has been praised for its contribution in internationalization of Korean photography and to the development of the medium across since 2006. Last November, Daegu Photo Biennale joined the ‘Festival of Light’, which is an alliance of photography festivals, the first among Asian countries. The festival is a staging ground for Korean photographers looking to transition overseas.

2006년 첫 전시를 시작으로 5회째를 맞이하 는 대구사진비엔날레는 그 동안 한국사진예 술의 국제화와 사진 및 회화 • 미디어아트까 지 넘나들며 사진예술의 영역확장에 기여해 왔다는 평가를 받아왔다. 그리고 지난해 11 월, 세계 20여 개국 사진축제 연합체인 ‘빛의 축제’에서 아시아 최초로 회원단체로 가입하 는 등 한국작가들의 해외 진출에 교두보 역할 또한 다하고 있다.

This exhibition will present diverse photographs that challenge one's perspective on life, love and culture. ‘Origins, Memories & Parodies’–-the main exhibition--features artists from Latin America, Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia through video art, installation art, large photogram and prints on rice paper. There are many other artists from other countries that display their work through other photographic techniques as well. 이번 전시는 급속히 변화하고 있는 사진의 다양한 표 현방법과, 사진 원래의 정체성에 관하여 다양한 관점 에서의 시각을 보여주고자 한다. 주 전시는 ‘기원, 기 억, 패러디’라는 주제로 펼쳐지고 특히 우리가 흔히 볼 수 없었던 라틴 아메리카, 아프리카, 오스트레일리아, 동남아시아 등 세계 각지에서 활발히 활동하는 작가들 의 콜라쥬, 비디오아트, 설치, 대형 포토그램, 라이스 페퍼에 프린트 된 독특한 작업 등을 만나볼 수 있다.

In honor of 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and Italy, ‘Italian Contemporary Photo Exhibition: Italian Look No.3’ exhibition weaves a fascinating story through the lens of some of the best Italian photographers today.

‘Full Moon: A Story of Sky and Earth’ exhibition presents the cycle of life through an Asian perspective that involves spirits, life and existence. ‘Women in War’ exhibition is an intimate look at the brutal nature of war and the role women play. 또 다른 전시인 ‘만월: 하늘과 땅의’ 전시는 아시아인의 정 신과 순환, 그리고 공존의 세계관을 통해 원래의 모습으 로 돌아가려는 인간 존재에 대해 이야기한다. 그리고 ‘전 쟁 속의 여성’ 전시는 인류 역사의 대부분을 차지하는 전 쟁과 여성의 비극적 관계를 표현했다.

대구근대골목 촬영투어’ 에서 시민이 직접 사진을 찍을 수 있는 행사도 기획되었다.

Daegu Photo Biennale will propose a new paradigm of photography, which is the ‘Art of Light’. It will be a great photo festival where everyone can enjoy some of the best moments captured in time. 『Daegu Photo Biennale 2014』, themed ‘Photographic Narrative’, will be held in the Daegu Culture & Art Center, Bongsan Cultural Center and other exhibition halls around downtown from September 12th to October 19th. More information is available on the website (www.daeguphoto.com).

『Portfolio Review』, the much-acclaimed program in the international photography world, highlights 24 famous photographers and 70 reviewers and their opinions about how to cultivate photographic skills through indepth discussions and comments.

이번 대구사진비엔날레는 ‘빛의 예술’인 사진의 새로운 패 러다임을 제시할 것이다. 우리최고의 순간을 사진에 담아 모두가 함께 즐길 수 있는 사진축제로 거듭날 것을 기대한 다. 『2014대구사진비엔날레』는 ‘Photographic Narrative’라는 주제로 9월 12일부터 10월 19일까지 대구문화 예술회관, 대구예술발전소, 봉산문화회관 등 대구시내 주 요 전시장에서 개최된다. 자세한 내용은 웹사이트에서 확 인할 수 있다 (www.daeguphoto.com).

또한 2008년부터 시작하여 국제 사진계에 많은 호응을 얻고 있는 작가발굴 프로그램인 『포트폴리오 리뷰』도 개 최된다. 이 행사는 국내외 유명사진전문가 24명으로 구 성된 리뷰어와 70여명의 사진작가들의 토론과 논평을 통 하여 작품 활동의 역량을 높일 수 있는 ‘기회의 장’이 될 것이다.

Overview

『International Photography Symposium』 tries to find an

answer for the future direction of Daegu Photo Biennale by studying modern photography art with the subject of ‘photographs in post-colonial period and cultural identity: Past, Present and Future’. 더불어 『국제사진심포지엄』은 ‘포스트-콜로니얼 시대의 사진과 문화 정체성: 과거, 현재 그리고 미래’ 라는 주제 로 현대사진예술의 경향을 전문가들의 깊이 있는 진단을 통해 향후 대구사진비엔날레의 방향성에 많은 도움을 얻 고자 한다.

Daegu Photo Biennale holds other events for guests to participate in to make the experience more interactive.

12th Daegu International Opera Festival The Best Opera's Come to Daegu Daegu International Opera Festival (or DIOF) which represents Korea and festival which Daegu citizens love, is one of the greatest music festivals and maintained an 83 percent occupancy with around 100 performances by about 50 group from 18 countries. It has received continued praise from the media and audiences as years go by. DIOF, the first in Korea and the only international opera festival in Asia, has gone through remarkable development since the beginning in 2003, and has shown strong growth by ranking No. 1 in the music field in 2006 and obtaining the top grade (A) in 2005, 2010 and 2012 by the evaluation of national treasury support projects of Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

DIOF has done it best to establish a foundation to popularize opera. The festival has been favorably received both by critics and the public by staging a wide range of 18

genres from works loved by ordinary people constantly, and by using internally and externally excellent cultural infrastructure to works which can satisfy opera lover’s cultural thirst. In addition, it has also staged a ballet, puppet show and Korean traditional opera, and made efforts in producing and developing Korean-made operas including <The Spirit of Fire> and <The Memory of Chungna Hill>. Moreover, it has become the hub of performance cultures in Asia through producing Asia joint opera since 2010.

The opera festival, which received attention due to Korean singers and a production team entering Germany in 2009, got into China in 2010, Germany in 2011, and finally ‘Aspendos International Opera & Ballet Festival’ in Turkey in 2012 with <La Traviata>. This ‘made in Korea’ opera received a standing ovation and praise

from the audience from all over the world, and made the headlines of over 10 press outlets. The performance in Turkey which made a splendid achievement of exporting almost all parts of opera including singers, production staff, costumes and stage, became a good chance to expand Korean opera’s range to go into the world stage.

With the participation in the international singing competition in April 2013, it entered Poland in May and became a legend by having all seats of its performance of <Carmen> sold-out early. The plan of overseas expansion has already scheduled Italy and Germany in 2015, and Poland in 2016, and makes a higher level of international status of Korean opera realistic. The opera festival, which became the hub of Asian opera based on the excellence of Korean singing talent and the producing technology of opera itself, recognized as the world’s best, will continue going a step towards achieving a great dream of the globalization of Korean opera.

Daegu Coffee & Cafe Fair 2014 Wake up and Smell the Coffee Written by Kate Ko / Photos submited by Daegu Coffee & Cafe Committee / proofread by Katherine Kirk

Daegu Coffee & Cafe Fair 2014 is an extraordinary celebration of the coffee we all love and much more. The fair will take place from October 8th (Wed) – 11th (Sat) at EXCO exhibition center. A catchphrase from previous years called the fair “the Mecca of coffee culture,” and past visitors and exhibitioners couldn’t agree more. The event is organized by Daegu Metropolitan City, Korea Coffee Association (KCA) and MunhwaBank Co. Ltd. Daegu Coffee & Cafe Fair 2014 is celebrating its fourth year running, hosting thousands of coffee lovers with a vast variety of coffee beans, roasts, drips, drinks, blends and lets not forget the tea. Everything related to the café experience is showcased: eye-catching coffee machines, tableware, delicious desserts, sweets, juices… you name it, the Daegu Coffee & Cafe Fair 2014 22

Daegu Coffee and Café Fair will host two world championships this year.

Competitions held at the fair don’t end there though, this year’s “Korea Cake Design” contest will allow artists with bakery skills to unleash their amazing imagination to create visually stunning delicacies you won’t believe your eyes.

Those dreaming of their own start-up can attend seminars on how to start a Coffee Business.

North Korea Unwrapping the Mystery Inside the Enigma Written and photographed by Stephen Schuit / http://koreanbookends.blogspot.com / Translated by Yujeong Lee

The U.S. State Department’s bulletin of May 21st was unambiguous. It strongly recommended against travel

by Americans to North Korea. This warning was based on several recent and worrisome incidents; the arrests of two U.S. citizens, one apparently after asking for asylum, the second for allegedly leaving a bible in his hotel room. These incidences happened as another American was serving a sentence in a North Korean labor camp.

He still is.

It is not easy to sit on the fence when it comes to North Korea, also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Its leaders have been characterized as ruthless, its policies and actions interpreted as reckless. It’s universally seen as an international pariah--a rogue state like no other. In his January 2002 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush, famously labeled North Korea (along with Iran and Iraq) as one of three countries comprising the “Axis of Evil.”

5월 21일에 발표된 미국정부의 공고는 명백했으며 북한 으로 여행을 가는 미국인들에게 강력히 권고되었다. 이 경 고는 몇몇 최근의 염려스러운 사고에 따른 것이었다. 두 명의 미국시민이 체포되었는데, 한 명은 수용소에 대해 질 문했기 때문이었으며, 전해진 바에 의하면 나머지 한 명 은 호텔 방에 성경을 두고 가서였다고 한다. 두 번째 미국 인은 북한 강제 노동 수용소에서의 노역을 선고 받았으며 여전히 그 곳에 있다.

조선인민민주주의공화국으로도 알려진 북한에 관한 것들 은 그저 관망하고만 있을 수 없다. 그 나라의 지도자들은 무자비한 면을 보여왔고, 북한의 정책과 행동은 무모하게 해석되어 왔다. 어디에서나 국제적인 왕따가 되었으며, 독 보적인 깡패같다 2002년 11월, 미합중국의 조지 부시 대통령은 유명하게 (이란과 이라크와 함께) 북한을 “악의 축”을 형성하는 세 나라 중 하나로 낙인 찍었다.

Visiting North Korea had long been on my bucket list. I felt that I needed to experience this secretive and vexing place for myself. Once I discovered that U.S. citizens could, in fact, legally visit North Korea by going through China, I signed myself up. Our tour originated in Beijing, only a two-hour flight from my residence in Daegu where I teach English at a local university. Koryo Tours, a British outfit, scheduled a mandatory briefing session, in their Beijing office, the day before we departed on our 8-day tour of North Korea. We listened intently to their recommended “Do’s,” and mostly, “Don’ts.”

Don’t stray from the group at any time. No photos of soldiers or military installations. Don’t ask our North Korean tour guides challenging political questions that might be interpreted as insults to the leadership there. Suddenly, this adventure was becoming uncomfortably real. 북한을 방문하는 것은 오랫동안 필자의 버킷 리스트 중 하나였다. 필자는 이 비밀스럽고 성가신 나라를 경 험해봐야 할 필요가 있다고 느꼈다. 사실 미국 시민권 자가 중국을 통해서 북한을 법적으로 방문할 수 있다 는 것을 알게 되자, 바로 방문을 신청했다. 여행은 필 자가 지역 대학에서 영어를 가르치고 있는 대구에서 겨우 2시간 떨어진 베이징에서 시작되었다. 영국 회 사인 고려 여행사는 8일 간의 북한 여행을 떠나기 바 로 전 날에 베이징 지점에서 필수적인 브리핑을 듣도 록 스케줄을 짰다. 우리는 그들이 권고하는 “할 것”과 대부분을 차지하는 “하지 말아야 할 것” 열심히 들었 다. 어떤 때라도 그룹을 벗어나지 마라. 군인이나 군사 시설의 사진은 찍지 마라. 우리를 담당하는 북한 가이 드에게 북한의 지도자를 모욕하는 것으로 간주될 수 있는 도전적인 정치적 질문은 하지 마라. 갑자기 이 모 험이 거북하게 진짜가 되고 있었다.

Our Russian-built plane landed in Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital of 3.5 million, clearly the showcase of the country. The many photos of Pyongyang I had seen suggested a dark gray metropolis, devoid of color, with wide empty streets, its citizens, drab and humorless. Pyongyang, also known as the City of Monuments with its seemingly endless parade of statues, museums and edifices that honor the State, does lack both the vibrancy and excitement of its South Korean counterpart, Seoul. But it’s a city that somehow seems to make due in spite of endless obstacles, including an inferior infrastructure, and -continued on p28-

regular power outages. When the lights go out, no one misses a beat. Its subway, bus and trolley systems make impressive use of antiquated vehicles from the 70’s, 80’s, even the 60’s—many imported from former Eastern bloc countries. 우리가 탄 러시아산 비행기가 명백히 전시용이자 350만 명이 거주하는 북한의 수도 평양에 착륙했다. 필자가 봐온 수많은 평양의 사진은 텅 빈 넓은 거리, 평양의 시민들, 단 조로움, 유머가 없는 풍경을 담은, 색이라곤 전혀 없는 어 둡고 회색의 거대도시였다. 북한을 기리는 동상, 박물관, 대건축물이 끝없이 줄지어 있는 기념비의 도시로도 알려 진 평양은 상대국인 남한의 서울이 갖고 있는 생동감과 신 명 모두 부족하다. 하지만 열악한 기반시설을 포함한 수 많은 장애물과 정기적인 정전에도 불구하고 어떻게든 유 지가 되는 듯 하다. 불이 나갈 때면 아무도 주저하지 않은 다. 지하철, 버스, 전차 시스템은 70년대, 80년대 심지 어 60년대의 구식 운송수단을 이용해서 인상적이었으며, 다수가 동유럽의 구 공산국가들로부터 수입해 온 것이다.

Our tour covered a wide swath of the southern half of the country and included a visit to Panmunjeom, along the DMZ, and the nearby historic city of Kaesong, where 120 South Korean-built and managed factories provide employment to over 53,000 North Korean workers.

Having previously visited the DMZ from the South Korean side, I was surprised by how low key and non-bellicose the North Korean soldiers were. In fact, I struck up a conversation with an officer who led our tour there.

He was cordial and posed for photos with a number of us on the tour. Such informality never happens with their 28

more serious South Korean army counterparts. 우리의 여행은 북한의 남쪽 절반에 해당하는 넓은 지역을 보여주었으며, 역사적인 도시 개성 근처에 있는 DMZ 내 판문점 방문도 포함했다. 개성은 남한이 건설하고 관리하 는 120개의 공장이 5만 3천명이 넘는 북한사람들을 고용 하고 있는 곳이다. 이전에 남한에서 DMZ를 방문했는데 북한군인들이 저자세이며 호전적이지 않다는 것에 놀랐 다. 사실 그 곳에서 우리의 투어를 진행한 한 장교와 대화 를 시작했다. 그는 친절했고, 투어에 참가한 우리 중 다수 와 사진을 찍어주기 위해 포즈를 취해주었다. 반대쪽에 있 는 더 진지한 분위기의 남한군인과는 절대 그런 비격식적 인 일이 일어나지 않았다.

I was impressed by the general friendliness of the North Koreans we encountered everywhere we visited. They are very much like the South Koreans I have come to know and respect for their earnestness, generosity and diligence. North Koreans seem to genuinely love their country and they are a very proud lot. However, that should not come as a surprise. 우리 방문하는 곳마다 접하게 되는 북한사람들의 보편적 인 환대가 인상적이었다. 그들은 필자가 알게 된 남한 사 람들과 필자가 경의를 표하는 그들의 성실함, 관대함, 근 면함도 많이 닮았다. 북한 사람들은 순수하게 그들의 나라 를 사랑하며 매우 자랑스러워하는 듯 했다. 하지만 그것 이 놀랍지는 않았다.

The control of information by the state is complete and unrelenting, and has been since Kim Il Sung came to power in 1945. Authoritarian leadership, handed down

through 3 consecutive generations of the Kim dynasty, now resides with 30-year old Kim Jung Un. North Korean newspapers, TV broadcasts, schools, billboards, banners, even public loud speakers, extol praise for the country while spewing forth propaganda against the enemy, usually in the personage of the venomous Americans. 정부의 정보 통제는 완벽했고 가차없었으며, 1945 년 김일성이 권력을 잡은 이래로 계속 되어왔다. 김 왕조 내에서 3대째 세습되어 온 권의주의적인 통치권 은 이제 30살의 김정은에게 있다. 북한 신문, TV 방 송, 학교, 게시판, 현수막, 심지어 공공장소의 스피커 까지 적, 보통 악독한 미국인 저명인사에 대한 선동을 토해내는 반면, 나라에 대한 극찬을 아끼지 않았다.

The “elephant in the room” is the network of prison camps long revealed by satellite imagery and confirmed by the few individuals fortunate enough to have made it out alive. Most recently, Shin Donghyuk, author of “Escape from Camp 14,” described the almost unimaginable brutality of the camps. It’s in these camps where 3 generations of family members are banished for crimes committed against the state. All North Koreans belong to neighborhood watchdog groups, comprised of 25-50 families.

Known as inminban, they are led by hardened middle-aged women who keep tabs on everyone and everything, cementing the foundation of the enterprise of fear run by Kim Jung Un and his minions.

Everyone on the tour is aware of these camps. But, we avoid the topic for fear that just talking about them would put our guides at serious personal risk. 우리 모두 알고 있지만 쉽사리 꺼내지 못 하는 이슈 하나는 오랫동안 위성사진으로 실체가 드러났고, 살 아서 탈출할 수 있어 매우 운이 좋았던 몇몇 사람들에 의해 확인된 수용소의 네트워크이다. 가장 최근에는 “14호 수용소 탈출”의 저자 신동혁씨가 거의 상상이 불가능한 수용소의 무자비함을 묘사했다. 모든 북한 사람들은 대략 25~50가구로 이뤄진 이웃을 감시하 는 그룹에 속해 있다. ‘인민반’으로 알려진 이 조직은 모든 사람들과 모든 것을 예의 주시하는 완고한 중년 여성들이 이끈다. 그리고 그들은 김정은과 그의 사람 들에 의해 운영되는 공포국가의 토대를 굳건하게 해 준다. 투어에 참가한 모두가 이러한 수용소를 알고 있 었다. 하지만 단지 그에 대해 말하는 것만으로 우리의 가이드를 심각한 개인적인 위험에 처하게 할 수 있다 는 두려움으로 그 주제를 피했다.

Our tour stops included a fertilizer manufacturing plant in Hamhung, an agricultural university in Wonsan, both cities along the east coast of the Korean peninsula, and a historic residence of a former king. At each site, we are greeted by a lovely hostess wearing the traditional and colorful Korean clothing called a hanbok. The story they tell us is always the same. We’re made aware when either Kim Il Sung, Kim Jung Il or Kim Jung Un visited the site and the amazing “wisdom” or expertise they imparted while there. Pictures of the visit are shown and the chair, pen or desk that they used, invariably have become sacred artifacts. 우리의 목적지는 한반도의 동해안을 따라 있는 함흥에 있 는 비료 생산 공장, 원산의 농업 대학, 옛 왕이 살던 역사 적인 거주 공간에도 갔다. 함흥과 원산 모두 한반도의 동 해안을 따라 위치해 있다. 각 장소에서 색색의 전통 한복 을 입은 사랑스러운 여접객원이 우리를 맞이했다. 접객원

Every North Korean wears a pin picturing one or both of the former leaders on a red background. Just as predictably, their framed photos are carefully placed visibly high on a wall in every family’s residence. Patriotism, devotion and obedience, at least publicly, appear to run wide and deep. They fill the spaces between everything, like mortar, securing the bricks of the State. 모든 북한 사람들은 붉은 바탕에 옛 지도자들의 그림이 하 나 또는 둘이 있는 뱃지를 달고 있다. 예상하는 바대로 액 자에 넣은 그들의 사진은 조심스럽게 모든 사람들의 집의 벽 높이 걸려 있다. 적어도 공개적으로는 애국심, 헌신, 복

Where does genuine loyalty begin and end? In what places does fear reside? It’s nearly impossible to discern in this country of cartoon-like images and monuments on steroids. During a radio address in 1939, Winston Churchill uttered these now memorable words.

Russia, he said, “is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” North Korea, its people, and its exploits, to this day, remain more of a mystery than Russia perhaps ever was. 이러한 진실한 충성심을 어디에서 시작되어 어디에서 끝 나는 것일까? 어떤 곳에서 두려움은 자리잡고 있는가? 만 화 같은 이미지와 기념물보다 더 심한 이 나라에서 알아차 리기란 거의 불가능하다. 1939년 라디오 연설에서, 윈스 턴 처칠은 후에 유명해진 이 말을 했다. “러시아는 수수께끼 속에서도 미스터리로 포장된 수수께끼이다.” 오 늘날까지의 북한, 북한 사람들 그리고 북한의 업적은 러 시아가 그랬던 것보다 훨씬 더한 미스터리로 남아 있다.

Stephen Schuit, on the faculty of Yeungnam University’s Foreign Language Institute, recently visited North Korea.

He previously served as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in Korea. He is the author of “The Grapes of No Gun Ri,” an article about the massacre that took place in that South Korean village during the Korean War. He blogs about his experience living and working in South Korean at http://koreanbookends.blogspot.com/ 영남대학교 외국어 교육원 소속인 스티븐 슈이트는 최근 북한을 방문했다. 이전에 한국에서 미국평화으로 활동했 으며, 한국전쟁 당시 한국의 마을에서 일어난 학살에 대해 적은 “노군리의 포도”의 저자이기도 하다. 그는 http:// koreanbookends.blogspot.com/에 한국에서의 삶과 일에 대해 경험한 것을 블로깅하고 있다.

Seeing is Believing Daegu Medical Tourism Written by Matthew Caracciolo / Photos by EXCO

You’ve got a headache, and it’s because of your contacts again. Spring was four months ago, but those itchy eyes won’t go away. You hate wearing your glasses. Pay your mind, weary blind folk of the ‘gu’. Of the many medical procedures available in Daegu, one of the most popular for foreigners is corrective eye surgery.

State of the art and at a fraction of the cost back home, LASIK and LASEK surgeries are a very affordable, very life-changing opportunity for foreigners visiting or living in Daegu.

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.SEPTEMBER

According to the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, over 100,000 people receive LASIK and LASEK surgeries in Korea annually. The average price of an operation is between 1.3 million and 1.8 million won, or less than half the price of the same procedure in the United States.

For many foreigners living in the city, the time for corrective eye surgery is now or never.

First, do some research on the right eye clinic for you.

With 150 options in Daegu alone, you want to find a clinic with the most experienced practitioners, the most

appropriate (not necessarily newest) technology, and the safest protocols. Ask if the laser equipment is certified by an authorized inspection agency, and if it’s checked regularly by the clinic’s staff.

Two of the leading medical institutions in Daegu are Nune Eye Hospital and Metro Eye Center. Local English teacher Maria Sheehy chose Nune after a careful selection process.

“Nune was recommended to me by friends who had the procedure done there,” said Sheehy, “and I was able to read about the experiences of other foreigners who went there through blog posts.”

She made an appointment and, with the reassuring vigilance of an interpreter, went through a series of tests to make sure her eyes were suited for surgery. The tests, including corneal thickness and topography, pupil size, and eye movements, provide crucial information for the surgeon’s adjustments

during the procedure. The most important test is the retina, from which surgeons can discern if eyes have excessive myopia and therefore weak retinas and optic nerves.

“After about an hour and a half of tests I was called in to see the surgeon to talk about my options,” said Sheehy. “The surgeon spoke very good English and told me that I was a good candidate for both LASIK and LASEK surgeries.”

The next step is to make an appointment for surgery and wait for the big day. On the day of the procedure, the surgeon will make the slightest calculations to ensure a successful and safe operation. Everything from the room’s temperature and humidity is taken into account.

“They even had a suction room where all the dust was ‘vacuumed’ off you before you entered the operation 34

area,” said John Johnson, another local English teacher who chose Nune Eye Hospital.

After some last minute tests and the administration of some numbing and anti-inflammatory drugs, the surgeon lays the patient down and covers one eye while using a contraption to hold the other open. Patients are told to look straight into a laser for about 15 seconds for each eye. All told, time spent lying down for the procedure is about 10 to 15 minutes. The eyes will remain blurry and discomfort is possible for a few hours after the procedure, but for most, the temporary displeasure is worth it.

“The second I walked out of that room I could read the names on the buildings that were blurs before, “said Sheehy.” That alone made it all worthwhile to me.”

Post-surgery check-ups are typically scheduled within a few days of the procedure, and with Nune Eye Hos-

pital, patients can report back with any complications months after the operation.

While Nune Eye Hospital and Metro Eye Center are justifiably popular, some of the smaller clinics can be good choices too. Teacher Jarrod Clegg had nothing but positive things to say about Zenith Eye Clinic and his experience there.

“I’m incredibly happy I took the plunge and went for it when I had the chance,” added Sheehy. “It's definitely one of the best decisions I made here in Korea.”

Stop asking ‘what if’ and start asking ‘when’ you’ll get your eyes corrected in Daegu

“The doctor was very professional and thorough,” said Clegg. “I got my surgery on Saturday, and he made an appointment for me on Sunday. Just us. The clinic was closed.”

LASIK and LASEK surgeries are improving the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of people every year in Daegu. It only takes a few brave steps with a team of experienced surgeons and interpreters with you at every turn. Research local clinics and the different procedures online, ask friends and colleagues about their experiences, and decide if corrective eye surgery is in the cards for you.

Keeping Active in Daegu Alternatives to Sweating it out at the Gym Written and photographed by Annie Chen / Translated by Kate Ko

There are so many ways to keep active around Daegu.

Most ways are free, but of course if you're a fitness fanatic, you'll have to pay the price. Here are some ways you can stay active and healthy while living in Daegu. 대구에서 활기찬 생활할 수 있는 방법이 많이 있다. 그 중 대부분은 무료이지만, 헬스장 피트니스를 정말 좋아하는 사람이라면 돈을 지불해야 한다. 지금부터 대구에서 액티 브하고 건강한 생활을 할 수 있는 방법들을 소개해 주겠다.

If you want to cruise around town on two wheels, you're just in luck. Most Daegu subways stations offer free bike rentals. My friends and I love renting bikes after work or on weekends and ride them all around Daegu. We usually end up using the bell on the bike to maneuver through the crazy traffic. Did I mention, they're free??

This is a great way to get to know your surrounding neighborhoods. These bicycles are in great condition and come with a lock and key. Some subway stations

you can rent free bikes at are Beomeo and Kyungpook National University Hospital. Visit the Information office in the station and make sure to bring your ARC card. You can start renting them at 6:00AM and must return them by 10:00PM. Here's a list of stations: 16 stations on line 1 and 16 stations on line 2, total 32.

Line1 : Daegok, Jincheon, Wolchon, Seongdangmot, Hyeonchungno, Yeungnam Univ.

단 두 개의 바퀴로 도시를 돌아다니고 싶은 사람들에게 희 소식이 있다. 대구 내 지하철역이 무료로 자전거를 대여해 주기 때문이다. 친구들과 나는 일이 끝난 뒤, 혹은 주말에 자전거를 대여해 대구를 돌아다니는 것을 좋아한다. 우리 는 주로 교통정체를 피해 자전거를 타는데 이 멋진 경험이 무료인 것이다! 이는 주변 지역을 살펴보기에도 좋은 방 법이다. 이 자전거들은 상태가 아주 좋고 자물쇠와 열쇠도 함께 지급 된다. 무료로 자전거를 대여할 수 있는 지하철 역은 범어역과 경대병원역 등이며 역 내 인포메이션 센터 에 ARC 카드를 가져가면 된다. 대여가능 시간은 오전 6 시부터 오후 10시까지 이다.

If you don't like biking, get involved in the popular Korean sport of hiking! Hiking is a great way to see temples, Buddha statues, and the impressive sights of Daegu.

Mt. Palgongsan is about a 30-40 minute ride on the bus from Dongdaegu Station. At the top of Mt. Palgongsan is a temple with a big Buddha statue that many Koreans pray to. It is not just an active thing to do, but it is also a cultural experience as well. There is also Apsan Park in Daegu as well, this park is larger in size and has more activities available like archery and horseback riding.

While hiking, you can find yourself bonding with the Ko-

rean hikers near you which makes it a fun time going up the mountain. Make sure to go hiking at least one time before you leave Korea! 만약 자전거를 좋아하지 않는다면, 한국에서 인기가 많 은 스포츠인 등산에 도전해보라. 등산은 절과 불상, 그리 고 대구의 인상적인 장소들을 볼 수 있는 좋은 방법이다. 동대구역에서 버스로 30-40분 거리에 있는 팔공산의 정 상에는 절이 있는데 많은 한국인들이 기도하는 큰 불상이 있다. 이 것은 단지 하나의 활동이 아닌 문화적인 경험이 될 것이다. 또한 대구에는 앞산 공원이라는 큰 공원이 있 는데 활쏘기와 승마와 같이 더 다양한 활동들이 가능한 곳 이다. 또한 등산을 하는 동안 주변에 있는 한국인 등산객 들과 이야기를 나누며 즐거운 시간을 보내는 당신을 발견 하게 될 것이다. 한국을 떠나기 전에 최소한 한번은 등산 을 해보길 바란다!

Biking and hiking are free ways to stay active in Daegu, but for the fitness connoisseur, there are many gyms you can join. Gym Mania is located in Beomeo-dong.

Gyms are expensive to join in Korea, but if you're serious about it, it will be worth your while. A Gym Mania membership includes workout clothes every time you go, towels, and one hour classes every day. Some -continued on p38-

of the classes include Zumba, spinning, yoga, step, body sculpting, abs, and Pilates. There's also Jade Fitness and Spa Center located in the Zenith building in Beomeo-dong. If you don't want to join a gym, there are belly dancing classes, pole dancing classes, and yoga classes all around Daegu. Most are located downtown.

다른 외국인들을 만날 수 있는 스포츠 그룹에 참여해보 는 것은 어떤가? 가을에 진행되는 대구 얼티메이트 프리 즈비팀과 대구 플래그 풋볼팀, 그리고 봄에 진행되는 소 프트볼과 축구 팀 과 같이 많은 그룹이 있다. 관련 정보 는 주변 사람들에게 묻거나 페이스북에서 뜨는 소식을 참 고하면 된다.

무료로 즐길 수 있는 자전거와 등산 외에도, 피트니스를 좋아하는 사람들을 위한 많은 헬스장들이 있다. 범어동에 있는Gym Mania가 그 중 하나이다. 한국의 헬스장은 가 격이 비싸지만 당신이 정말 진지하게 운동하고자 한다면 그 만큼 값을 할 것이다. Gym Mania 맴버십은 매일 운 동복, 타월, 1시간의 수업이 포함 된다. 수업은 줌바, 스피 닝, 요가, 스텝, 바디스컬핑, 앱스, 필라테스 등이다. 또한 범어동 제니스 건물에도 Jade Fitness and Spa Center 라는 헬스장이 있다. 만약 헬스장에 가고 싶지 않다면 대 구 내에 벨리댄스, 폴댄스, 요가 수업을 들을 수 있는 곳 이 많이 있다.

Keeping active in Daegu is pretty easy and fun to do. It's a great way to de-stress after a long work week. And if you're not a sporty person, there's always dancing at the bars and clubs! Thursday Party, MF Bar, Julliard Dean, Bombay Lounge, and Babalu are always there to fulfill your dancing needs! Make sure to get involved in the Daegu community while you're here, you'll make lots of long-lasting friendships which will make your time here worthwhile!

Lastly, there are tons of sports groups that you can join to meet other foreigners around the surrounding area.

There's the Daegu Ultimate Frisbee team and Daegu Flag Football in the fall. Then there's softball and soccer in the spring and many other groups as well. You can ask around or check on www.facebook.com/daegucompass fan page.

대구에서 액티브하게 지내는 것은 꽤 쉽고 재미있는 것 이다. 한 주 간의 긴 업무 스트레스를 날려버릴 좋은 기회 이다. 그리고 만약 당신이 운동을 즐기지 않는 사람이라 면 Thursday Party, MF Bar, Julliard Dean, Bombay Lounge, Babalu와 같은 Bar나 Club에서 춤을 추는 것 도 좋을 것이다. 당신이 대구에 머무는 동안 이 곳의 커뮤 니티에 참여해본다면 소중한 우정과 잊지 못할 추억을 만 들 수 있을 것이다!

Mangwol A (literal) Breath of Fresh Air Written and photographed by Paul Petrequin / Translated by Kate Ko

It’s hardly remarkable to find a gym in Daegu. It seems a more difficult task to walk for 15 minutes and not come across an open area where an elliptical or hip-swing are being used. And with the scorching summer months fast approaching, the indoor gyms are also becoming more densely populated with the treadmill-texters and Kakao-calisthenics enthusiasts. If the playground gyms aren’t challenging enough, or the enclosed health centers don’t offer enough bang for the won, the Mangwol gym might be just what you need. 대구에서 헬스클럽을 발견하는 것은 놀랄만한 일이 아니 다. 오히려 15분 동안 길을 걷다 공공 운동기구들이 설치

되어 있는 야외 공간을 발견하지 못하는 것이 어려울 정도 다. 찌는 듯한 여름이 다가올수록 헬스클럽은 문자를 보 내며 러닝머신을 달리는 사람들, 카톡을 하며 체조하는 사 람들로 붐빈다. 만약 운동장에서 하는 운동이 도전할 만하 지 않고, 헬스클럽이 가격을 낮추지 않는다면, 망월 체육 관이 당신에게 딱일 것이다.

Mangwol Body Power, or “the mountain gym” as its commonly referred, is exactly that: A collection of machines, free weights, and stretching equipment that’s, well, on a mountain. It takes a brisk hike to reach the facility, but once there you cancontinue exercising your

legs, but also give due attention to the rest of your body. 망월 바디 파워, 혹은 흔히 “산 체육관”이라 불리는 이 곳은 산 중에서 모든 운동기구와 무료 웨이트, 스트레 칭 기구를 한번에 즐길 수 있는 곳이다. 시설을 사용하 기 위해서는 가벼운 등산을 해야 하지만, 그 곳에 도착 해서 다리운동을 이어 할 수 있으므로 다른 신체 부위 또한 자극을 받을 것이다.

“I started building Mangwol in 2005; I like this mountain a lot and always enjoyed sports and body activities,” said Jang In Chol, 68, who created and continues to maintain Mangwol. “I buy the equipment, receive donations, and try to keep everything in working order. The community has gotten very big, so a lot of attention is needed to make sure everything stays in good condition.”

“2005년에 망월체력장을 만들기 시작했습니다. 저는 이 산을 무척 좋아하고 항상 스포츠와 운동을 즐깁니 다.” 망월체력장을 만들었고 계속 운영하고 있는 장인 철씨(68세)는 말한다. “기구를 사고, 기부를 받고, 계 속해서 이 모든 것을 잘 관리하려고 합니다. 이 곳의 커뮤니티가 굉장히 커졌습니다. 그래서 이 모든 것이 좋은 상태로 관리 되려면 많은 관심이 필요합니다.”

Mangwol offers the equipment and weight regiment of what most of us would pay for at a big box fitness club, with the only price tag being the sweat equity of reaching it. When you first arrive, the first thing to do is be in awe at the sheer labor of assembling the facility to its layout: Two levels, with a more secluded bench press and boxing area just a bit further. Crossing the bridge to officially enter Mangwol, there’s an assortment of hula hoop areas, pull-up and dip-bars, and a half-buried tractor tire that will stretch muscles in your back you didn’t know you had. There’s even a small gazebo picnic area for relaxation and socializing that’s almost always full (post-workout, of course).

Ravioli, T-Bone Steak Gnocchi, Calzone

우리 대부분은 땀을 흘리는 대가로 정해진 가격표에 따라 큰 피트니스 클럽에 돈을 내지만, 망월체력장은 운동장비와 웨이트 기구들을 그냥 제공해준다. 망월 에 가서 제일 처음 해야 하는 것은 기구를 알맞게 조립 하는 것이다. 두 번째로는 조금만 더 가면 있는 한적한 공간에서 벤치프레스와 복싱을 할 수 있다. 그리고 다 리를 건너면 본격적인 망월체력장에 입장하게 된다.

훌라후프, 턱걸이, 체조 기구, 그리고 반쯤 묻힌 타이어를 이용해 당신이 몰랐던 등 근육 등을 스트레칭 할 수 있는 공간이 있다. 또한 휴식을 취하고 다른 사람들과 수다를 나눌 수 있는 작은 정자도 있다.

Up the stairs to the main deck and you’re met with fitness machines and stretching areas to warm-up, including PVC pipes of varying length and thickness to help loosen up. Once you’re ready to begin, there’s a variety of dumbbells suitable for any fitness level, and bench presses with designated weights ranging from 50-100kg. A squat rack and leg press are also available in case the hike wasn’t enough, as well as a lat-pulldown, inclined bench, butterfly machine, and assorted barbells to compliment any workout. A few more steps up the hill and there’s a heavy bag Rocky Balboa would be proud to spar a few rounds with. 메인 나무 데크로 향하는 계단을 올라가면 다양한 길이와 두께의 PVC 파이프를 포함해 몸을 풀 수 있는 다양한 기 구들이 있는 스트레칭 공간이 있다. 수준에 맞는 다양한 덤벨과 50kg-100kg 중량의 벤치 프레스 또한 구비되어 있다. 랫풀다운, 인클라인 밴치, 버터플라이 기구, 어떠한 체조에도 쓸 수 있는 다양한 바벨은 물론이고, 등산에도 성이 차지 않는다면 스쿼트 랙과 레그 프래스도 있다. 언 덕을 조금만 걸어가면 스파링 할 수 있는 록키가 자랑스럽 게 몇 라운드 동안 두드릴 만한 펀칭백도 있다.

“I’ve been coming here for five years, and it has grown a great deal,” said Lee Yong-gol, a 75-year-old retiree and member of the Mangwol Dong Ji, a volunteer group that helps maintain Mangwol through donations and other supplies. “That it has become so large and popular is a testament to Mr. Jang’s hard work. He is here almost every day taking care of the gym, it’s because of him we can come here and use it.” 기부와 물품 등으로 망월체력장의 유지를 돕는 자원단체 ‘ 망월동지’의 회원인 75세 이용골씨는 “저는 이 곳에 온지 5년입니다. 정말 크게 발전했어요.”라고 말한다. “이 곳이 이렇게 커지고 유명해진 것은 장인철씨의 노력 때문입니 다. 그 분이 거의 하루 종일 이 곳에서 체력장을 관리하기 때문에 우리가 이 곳을 사용할 수 있는 것이죠.”

It may be cliché to suggest Mangwol is more than just a gym on a mountain, but it would be a disservice to say otherwise. Outdoors and fitness go hand-in-hand, especially in Daegu, and the communal aspect of Mangwol is something long forgotten to many gym-goers. After speaking with Mr. Lee and Mr. Chol, it’s readily apparent that the gym is an ongoing project whose upkeep is decidedly social. Each ‘member’ comes up the mountain for a workout to be sure, but Mangwol offers some-

thing more that would be difficult to find elsewhere.

Coming here, you’re likely to have a conversation with a local looking to practice English or a regular interested in who you are and where you’re from – oftentimes a mix of both. Mangwol residents stay long after their routine is completed, sharing stories, food, company, and the natural surroundings that house them. Some of these aspects of Korean culture may have diminishing returns for expats who have been here for years, but heading to Mangwol for a good workout may be just what’s needed to have them reinvigorated. 망월 체력장이 다른 산중 체육관보다 더 좋다고 말하 는 것은 상투적이지만, 그렇지 않다고 말하는 것도 안 될 일이다. 특히나 대구에서 이처럼 야외와 체육관이 합쳐진 망월 체력장은 지금은 많은 공공 체육관 이용 자들에게 잊혀진 곳일 것이다. 이용골씨, 장인철씨와 이야기를 나눈 뒤, 망월 체력장은 사회의 기부를 받 아 운영되는 진행형 프로젝트임을 확실히 알게 됐다. 물론 각 ‘회원’은 운동을 하러 산에 오르지만 이 곳은 다른 데서 찾을 수 없는 그 무언가를 제공한다. 이 곳 에 오면 영어를 연습하거나, 혹은 단지 당신이 누군 지, 어디서 왔는지에 관심을 갖는 현지인, 아니면 두 -continued on p44-

가지 모두에 관심이 있는 사람들과 이야기를 나눌 수 있 다. 망월 체력장에 오는 사람들은 운동이 끝난 뒤에도 개 인적인 이야기, 음식, 회사, 주변 자연 환경에 대해 이야 기하며 당신과 더 오래 머물 것이다. 이런 한국 문화의 특 성 탓에 수년 동안 이 곳에 온 외국인들에겐 장점이 점점 줄어든다는 느낌이 있을지 모르지만, 확실한 운동을 위해 망월 체력장을 방문하는 것은 분명 활기를 찾는 좋은 기 회가 될 것이다.

Mangwol can be found in the Nobyeon-dong area of Siji.

At the GS 25 on the corner of Samseonghyeon-ro and Uksu-gil, head right up the hill past the Dukwon Middle-High School on your left. A small Seusong shack with wooden placard on the right marks the trailhead.

Take a left when the trail forks at the clock and enjoy. 망월 체력장은 시지의 노변동에 있다. 삼성현로와 욱수 길 코너에 있는 GS 25에서 왼 쪽 덕원중고등학교를 뒤로 하여 오른 쪽 언덕을 올라가면 된다. 작은 세송 건물 앞에 있는 오른쪽 방향을 가리키는 나무 푯말이 있을 것이다. 시계탑이 있는 오솔길 입구에서 왼쪽으로 가면 망월 체력 장을 즐길 수 있다.

Everday Daegu Welcome to Daegu Hansel Ong Interview by Scott McLaughlin / Photos by Hansel Ong www.everydayamonday.wordpress.com / Translated by Sujin Park

Take a look at some great street photos by Hansel Ong. Below is also a short interview we did with this avid photographer. We hope his images inspire you to go out and start snapping great street pics. If you are an artist or just enjoy taking pictures of where you live, send us an email to inquire about being published in the Daegu Compass.

1. Tell us about yourself, what brings you to Daegu?

I aspire to be a portrait, nature, and travel photographer.

These three are my favorite subjects, in no particular order. I love learning about culture and history, appreciating the world God gave us, and knowing and caring about other people. I am temporarily staying in Daegu, before I move to another place.

Hansel Ong이 찍은 멋진 거리 사진을 한 번 봐라. 아래 쪽에는 열렬히 사진을 찍는 작가의 짧은 인터뷰도 있다. 여러분이 이 사진작가의 사진을 보고, 밖으로 나가 멋진 거리의 사진을 찍을 마음이 생기길 바란다. 당신이 작가든 아마추어든 대구 컴퍼스에 사진을 실을 수 있는 지 물어보 는 이메일을 보내주었으면 한다.

1. 당신에 대해 말해주세요. 어떻게 대구에 오게 되었나 요? 저는 인물사진, 자연사진, 그리고 여행 사진작가가 되고 싶었어요. 이 세가지는 순서에 상관없이 제가 가장 좋아하 는 피사체입니다. 저는 문화와 역사에 대해 배우는 것, 조 물주가 우리에게 준 세상에 감사하는 것, 그리고 다른 사 람들을 알아가고 보살피는 것들을 좋아합니다. 저는 다른 곳으로 가기 전에 대구에 잠시 머무는 거예요..

http://daegucompass.com

2. What do you try to capture when you photograph people in the street?

I try to capture the culture, the different range of emotions of people, the colors of the surroundings, the unexpected or the comical, and the personal.

2. 거리에 있는 사람들의 어떤 것을 사진에 담으려 고 하시나요? 저는 문화적인 것들, 사람들의 다양한 감정, 자연의 색들, 예상치 못한 것들이나 해학적인 것 그리고 개인 적인 것들을 담으려고 노력합니다.

3. What kind of equipment do you shoot with?

Most of the time, I use my Nikon D90 with a 50mm f/1.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8. I also use a Fuji X20 and my iPod Touch, in case I want to take wide angle shots.

3. 사진 찍으실 때 어떤 장비를 쓰시나요? 주로 초점거리 50mm, 조리개 값이 f/1.8인 Nikon D90을 쓰고, 70-200mm, f/2.8 짜리인 Fuji X20 와 와이드 앵글 사진이 필요할 때는 아이팟 터치를 쓰 기도 합니다.

4. Where have you traveled? What sort of response do you get when you take pictures of people on the street?

I have traveled to the Philippines, United States, and South Korea's capital--Seoul. People usually ignore me when I take photos in the streets. Sometimes, they wonder if I just took a photo of them. I also see some observing me when I frame my photograph. In any case, I always try to respect people, and drop my shot if my subject or the people around me gets uncomfortable.

4. 어디를 여행하셨나요? 거리의 사람들을 찍으면 사람들 의 반응은 어떤가요? 저는 필리핀, 미국, 한국의 수도인 서울을 가봤습니다. 제 가 거리에서 사진을 찍어도 사람들은 보통 신경쓰지 않아 요. 가끔 제가 자기를 찍었는지 궁금해 했어요. 또 제가 사 진의 앵글을 잡을ㅊ 때 저를 지켜보는 사람들도 몇몇 봤어 요. 어떤 경우든 저는 항상 사람들을 존중하고, 제 피사체 나 주위의 사람들이 불편해하면 사진을 버렸어요.

5. What are some of your favorite moments to capture?

Once in a while, I stumble on moments that are deep for my subjects and myself, and those are my favor-

ite. I look for moments like that found in a Rembrandt or Vermeer painting. The moment is usually when the person is isolated, or just very disconnected with the surrounding. It makes me wonder what they might be thinking or feeling at that time, and for me, those fleeting moments in time are very precious.

5. 작가님이 어떤 순간을 포착하고 싶은 순간은 언제인 가요? 가끔 제가 대상들과 제 자신에게 깊이 빠져드는 순간이 있는데 그 때를 가장 좋아합니다. 저는 Rambrandt 나 Vermeer의 작품에서 찾을 수 있는 그런 찰나를 찾고 있 어요. 그런 순간은 주로 한 사람이 혼자 되거나 주위에서 매우 동 떨어지는 순간이에요. 그리고 저는 그들이 그 순 간에 어떻게 생각하고 느끼는지를 궁금해요. 그런 찰나의 순간은 저에게 아주 소중하답니다.

My blog is www.everydayamonday.wordpress.com. I also have photographs from Donghwasa Temple Thank you so much, please keep me updated if they get published. 제 블로그는 www.everydaymonday.wordpress. com 입니다. 동화사에서 찍은 사진들도 있어요. 대단히 고맙습니다. 블로그에 사진을 올리면 알려주세요.

Wet and Wild Fun Hwanggan Aquatic Marathon Rewind Written by Scott McLaughlin / Photos by the Daegu Compass

There are many festivals around the world that help people gather together and celebrate life through culture and sports. 2014 HwangGang Aquatic Marathon gave people an opportunity to combine all of those aspects together. The marathon allowed people from around the world to challenge themselves physically and emotionally. Afterwards, there was a celebration where Koreans and foreigners could enjoy the memories of racing to the finish line through a watery trail.

The Daegu Compass organized a team to compete in the marathon on July 27th. It took about an hour to get to Hapcheon. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been there, so I was pretty excited to visit a place outside of Daegu. Countless number of tents greeted us first. It seemed many Koreans already came the day before and stayed at the camping site next to the Hwang Gang (river). As soon as I got there, I changed clothes and got ready for the marathon.

There were three options for the course: 2km, 5km and 10km.I chose to run the 2 km course. Unlike a normal 50

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.SEPTEMBER

marathon, running in the water was very unique and different. It was harder, but the river was pretty clean and cold enough to reduce the summer heat. When I was approaching to the finish line, I was greeted by people who had already finished. This was also unique as everyone waited at the finish line for everyone to finish their marathon.

There was a big celebration at the end where snacks and medals were handed out to participants. Once the celebration finished, we headed to a special restaurant that offered Hapcheonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialty, beef. It was fantastic, especially after a hard workout. Then our bus took us to Hapcheon Image Theme Park. It is the background set of Korean TV shows and movies, especially from 1920s~1980s. Some spots were used as a Ghost Park for the Horror Festival. You could get fake scar makeup on your skin from a specialist or could experience a fright in the Ghost House. Hapcheon Image Theme Park is a truly unique experience. It is a place that everyone should visit at least once during their time in Korea.

Overall, the day in Hapcheon was great for chilling out.

I definitely want to come back for camping, the Image Theme Park and Ghost Park. If I join the marathon again next year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try the 10km course. Hope to see you there!

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. 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.

The restaurant uses organic vegetables and ingredients from their own farm.

Daebong-dong Barazi Barazi brings Japanese flair to Daegu. Barazi specializes in great Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant feels like a home away from home. The soothing atmosphere provides customers a chance to relax with a cup of tea or some warm saki! The owner of Barazi is also an expert florist and can help arrange all your floral needs. Check the Bangcheon Market Compass Map on p59 for directions. Check out the Bangcheon Market Map on p59 for directions.

12PM~12AM • 010-4505-3396 • 13-16, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu

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.

1PM~1AM • 053-252-1481 • 7-16, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu

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.

6PM~11PM • 053-253-9782 • 2232-15, Dalgubeol-daero, Jung-gu, Daegu closed on Sundays

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.
