Zione Taste Perfection For Food Perfectionists • Written by Elizabeth Riggio Photos by Lee Seul

My aunt always likes to tell me that someone who isn’t Italian can’t make a good pizza. Well, Chef GuJaTae, owner of Zione Pizzeria, would certainly give her a run for her money. If you’ve ever enjoyed the delicious freshly-baked bread of Little Italia, then it is time you checked out Zione. Both restaurants are owned and operated by Chef GuJaTae, who’s story is as inspiring as his food’s flavor. This food will have you feeling like you’re eating your Italian grandma’s homemade food from the old country.

Zione is a quaint restaurant hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the main street in downtown. This is no accident. Chef Gu opened his newest restaurant with the hope that it will become a small hidden gem of Daegu. And it certainly is.

The entrance of Zione is located in the “back” of the restaurant. There is a small garden and outdoor seating area leading up to a small establishment that has its sleek brick oven as the central focus. The kitchen area is open with the seating located around it. The ceramic tiles on the walls and high industrial beams on the ceiling give it a very enticing and rustic feel. But certainly the oven steals the show. Taking six months

Zione

in total to finish, the oven’s materials have all been imported from Italy. Chef Gu says when he was in Italy he was inspired by the taste that a wood-burning oven could give to a pizza. Many Italian restaurants in Korea use gas or electric brick ovens but what makes his oven special is the use of wood. It gives the pizza a very real taste.

The taste of one of these pizzas is undeniable. We were able to try the Margherita pizza, a classic. Or perhaps a not-so-classic classic. The crust is thin and malleable and has a light yet distinctive wood-burning smell and taste. The mozzarella cheese dollops are fresh as well as the ripe basil. But most certainly the best part of this pizza is the sauce. Made with extra virgin olive oil that is kept in a copper jar to keep from oxidizing, this olive oil is from Italy and gives the sauce a light and tasty flavor. The sauce is so light and fresh, you’ll forget that any other type of sauce existed before.

Have you ever heard of Cavatelli pasta? If you haven’t yet, you will now. It is a soft noodle pasta that looks like a knot. This melt-in-your-mouth pasta is served with meaty eggplant bites that contain that same wonderful smoky, fiery taste that the pizza has. It’s topped with

http://www.daegucompass.com

a light tomato sauce and basil. The flavors fuse so well together, I promise your mouth will thank you for the welcome break from the overly sweet, spicy, or creamy pastas that are common in many Korean-Italian establishments.

All of Chef Gu’s ingredients are fresh and authentic. He gets local ingredients from Italy and when he can’t, he uses ingredients from his small garden or his family’s small-town farm. He makes his own salami and prosciutto because he says he can customize the meat to the types of flavors he has in his dishes, instead of conforming to the tastes of factory-produced meat. Chef Gu has traveled around the world on different occasions in search of the best quality ingredients. One might think he had years of formal training to be a chef, but in fact, he is completely self-taught. He started out studying machinery in school but he had always been interested in cooking due to his parents’ farm. His first experience in cooking was at an Italian restaurant where he became a kind of apprentice to one of the chefs. He read books and researched. In 2008, he traveled to Italy and other countries to search for the perfect tastes and find his flavor profile.

One such flavor that inspired him was the oyster.

Currently on the menu now, these oysters are a seasonal appetizer that are sure to convert you if you aren’t a big seafood fan. He was inspired to create this dish while in Italy. He said he grabbed some oysters from the sea, squeezed some lemon on them, and enjoyed with white wine. The oysters at Zione have been dressed up a bit—topped with pomegranate, parsley, and a light lemon vinaigrette. It’s a fresh beginning to any meal.

If you are a fan of dessert, you won’t want to miss out on one of Chef Gu’s delectable options. As he says, dessert is very important. In cooking, it’s the ending. In a sense, it “ties” up a meal. If you’re into a light, sweet taste, try the grape sorbet. It has a tangy edge reminiscent of a wine spritzer. If you like a rich dessert, go for the cheesecake. With a fresh, crumbly graham crust and thick, creamy body of cheese, this one is not to be missed.

Zione

http://www.daegucompass.com

The menu at Zione is small but mighty. Chef Gu has one menu that is constant, and then a chef’s specials menu that changes regularly. He does this to allow for creative freedom and to keep the dishes interesting.

Chef Gu is always looking for the best ingredients. In fact, he goes to Italy every two years to see what new local flavors there are to try. Zione also has a special wine selection that changes each week. The prices are highly competitive—a Margherita pizza goes for 15,900 won and pastas start at 11,000 won. For this kind of quality, you won’t find a better deal.

Address: 대구광역시중구동성로5길 72-1 Business Hours: Sun-Thur: 12pm~10pm (break 3pm~5pm) / Fri~Sat: 12pm~12am(break 4pm~5:30pm) / Closed on Tuesdays Contact: 053-424-9122 How to get to Zione: From Samdeok Fire Station (삼덕 소방서), walk along the street toward downtown area.

Passing the first small intersection, find the WABAR, across from Coffee Myunga (커피명가). There is a tiny alley on the left side of WABAR and go into the alley and Zione will be on your left.

Although Zione only opened in October, it is already clear that Chef Gu knows what he’s doing. With 13 years of experience in owning Little Italia, and a staff who have been working for him for years, he has created a culture of excellence and quality in his business. Zione is new and exciting now, but Chef Gu is looking towards the long-term. He wants to develop his business slowly and hopes he will have a business that others will want to follow. Well, he is certainly on his way.

Surf & Turf Lobster and Burgers Make for a Tasty Combination

• Written by Daniel Brown Photos by Ivan Broida

The name “Surf & Turf” is well known among the expatriate community in Korea as it represents a plate of seafood (lobster, prawns, or shrimp) and meat (beef steak or filet mignon) that can be typically eaten throughout the world. However, the Korean Peninsula has yet to fully embrace this type of eatery except for at some high-end restaurants. For this reason, a spin on the traditional surf and turf was recently concocted in Daegu with the thought to have a menu of lobster and burgers. The idea of having lobster and hamburgers in a relaxed atmosphere is unfamiliar to most Koreans. “Koreans typically associate lobster with a fancy and expensive restaurant,” said Lee Jung-Hyun, co-owner of Surf & Turf, which opened in Daegu this past September. Lee spent a decade falling in love with this type of cuisine while she lived, worked, and studied across the United States. However, homesickness led to relocating from New York City back to her hometown of Daegu, where she ran into her childhood friend Kim Sang-Hyun. Kim had the idea to serve lobster rolls, which is a sandwich filled with lobster meat soaked in butter or mayonnaise and served on hot dog shaped bun or a similar roll which has its roots traced to Northeastern North America. With a little help from Kim’s sister, a chef in Canada, the restaurant appropriately named Surf & Turf was born.

Located less than a 5 minute walk from Geondeulbawi Station (line 3) in Daebong-2 dong, right down the street from the US military installation Camp Henry, Surf & Turf fits nicely into a up and coming neighborhood of new restaurants and art galleries. The menu is reasonably priced and features the signature New England Lobster Roll for 16,000 won. The rolls are toasted on the grill and filled to the brim with a healthy portion of lobster. Lee points out that, “All of our lobster comes from Canada and Maine which has the best quality.”

In fact, you can order a whole lobster or a small one if you like depending on the current market price. The price for a whole lobster usually runs around 58,000 won and a small one can be had for around 34,000 won.

If the ‘surf’ side of the menu does not tickle your fancy, then you can always go with the tried and true ‘turf’ side. The best seller is the Miami Burger with chips for 13,000 won. The burger comes on a moist and soft bun. It is topped with a healthy portion of guacamole and cheese. If you crave the best of both worlds, one should go with the aptly named Surf & Turf Burger for 15,000 won. This burger is topped with a handsome amount of lobster that melts in your mouth. All burgers are made with 100 percent Australian beef. For an additional 2,000 won, one can add French fries and coleslaw as a combo for all the main dishes on the menu.

The drink menu has a nice beer selection that sticks to the surf mantra and goes along with the surfboard décor of the restaurant. Bottles of Long Board Island Lager & Big Wave Golden Ale from the Kona Brewing Company of Hawaii are featured. A few other beach going beers like Guam 1 and Corona are also on the menu. If you want to drink on the cheap, Korean draft beer is available as well as a variety of canned soft drinks.

Slowly but surely, Daegu has been following the lead of Seoul and Busan with regards to the restaurant business. Lee and her partner agree that Daegu is a burgeoning market for foreign food and sees the potential for growth. “We want to bring a new option to Daegu for foreign residents and Koreans alike to enjoy.” With plans to expand their menu in the future, it is quite clear that Surf & Turf is a welcome addition to Daegu.

Cafe de Nunchi Real Coffee For Coffee Lovers • Written and Photographed by Brian M. Van Hise Translated by Yujeong Lee

For anyone who has lived in Daegu for longer than a few months will know that businesses downtown seem to spring up out of nowhere overnight. What was once a major retailer one day is an empty lot the next. One’s favorite restaurant is now a clothing shop and one’s favorite cafe has just become a new favorite pizza parlour. Sometimes it feels like a roll of the dice, when heading downtown and hoping to frequent your favorite place for food or coffee.

Owned by Jon Parsons along with his lovely wife Sohee, the two started up the cafe after having gained a long and personal knowledge of coffee making. Having managed his own coffee shop in his native South Africa, Jon spent a number of years living in South Korea.

Living in Daegu and Seoul, he has paid particular attention to the coffee culture in Korea and is now taking that knowledge to his craft.

쪽의 가게들이 밤새 갑자기 생겨나는 것을 봤을 것이다. 하루는

대구에 적어도 몇 달 이상 살고 있는 사람이라면 누구나 동성로

사람들이 많이 찾는 인기가게였다가 그 다음 날엔 없어지기도 일 쑤다. 누군가가 가장 즐겨 찾았던 식당이 이제는 옷 가게가 되고,

누군가가 가장 좋아하던 카페가 이제 막 새로운 피자가게가 되기 도 한다. 동성로에 갈 때면 가끔은 음식집이나 카페에 갈 수 있기 를 바라며 주사위를 굴리는 듯한 기분이다.

Well, on an otherwise common street, a quaint little cafe has seem to have sprung up magically among a throng of fashion boutiques and small restaurants. That cafe is Cafe de Nunchi. 반면에 이 평범한 거리에 있는 수많은 옷가게와 작은 음식점들 사이에 작고 예스러운 분위기를 풍기는 카페가 마법처럼 나타난 듯 하다. ‘눈치 카페’이다.

16

Cafe de Nunchi

존 파슨스씨가 사랑스러운 아내 소희씨와 함께 운영하고 있는 이 까페는 커피에 대한 지식을 오랜시간 개인적으로 공부를 한 뒤에 으며 한국에서 산지는 좀 된 편이다. 대구와 서울에 살면서 한국 의 커피문화에 대해 특별한 관심이 생겼고 이제는 그 지식을 그 의 특별한 재능에 쓰고 있다.

Cafe de Nunchi opened its doors in early October and kicked things off with a special one-day event. “We started off with our 100 mugs event,” Jon explains. The cafe offered the first 100 mugs of their special latte for only 1,000 won each. “We didn’t do 100, but we did about 90.” That’s not bad for a fresh, start-up cafe.

Along with Instagram promotions and Korea Naver power bloggers popping in for visits, the cafe is off to a roaring start.

http://www.daegucompass.com

눈치 카페는 10월 초에 오픈했고 특별한 원데이 이벤트로 시

작했다. “우리는 ‘100 머그 이벤트’로 시작했어요.”라는 설명 을 들었다. 처음 스페셜 라떼 100잔을 달랑 1000원에 팔았 다. “그날 하루100잔까지는 못 채웠지만 90잔은 팔았어요.”

처음 막 시작한 카페치고는 나쁘지 않은 성적이었다. 인스타 그램 홍보와 네이버의 파워 블로거들도 찾기 시작했고 이젠 카페가 자리를 잡았다.

Despite its coffee menu, I found the pastries and desserts to be worth of particular mention. Cafe de Nunchi specializes in what are called dutch pancakes or Dutch Babies. “About two years ago, we were watching a travel show on Amsterdam and they were doing the dutch pancakes,” Jon says, telling how the idea for Cafe de Nunchi first took shape. “I’ve seen Swiss coffee shops in Korea and French, Italian, and Irish, but no Dutch. I’m from South Africa and have some Dutch ancestry. We searched for these Dutch Baby pancakes and we couldn’t find them anywhere in Korea.” He mentioned that since then a few places have opened up -continued on p18-

DAEGU COMPASS DECEMBER 2015

that do them. “And,” he quips, “it’s not actually a Dutch pancake. It’s really German.” Either way, it’s delicious and if Cafe de Nunchi is the only place in Daegu specializing in them, we hope that’s well worth your visit. 커피 메뉴 외에도 빵과 디제트도 특별히 언급을 해야할 것 같다.

눈치 카페는 더치 팬케이크, 혹은 더치 베이비라고 부르는 메뉴 가 특기이다. “2년 정도 전에 안스테르담에 관한 여행 프로그램

을 보고 있었는데 거기에 더치 팬케이크가 나왔어요.” 존씨가 어 떻게 눈치카페에 대해 아이디어를 얻게 되었는지 설명해주었다.

“한국에 스위스, 프랑스, 이탈리아, 아일랜드 카페도 봤지만 네델 란드은 없었어요. 전 남아공에서 왔고 제게는 네델라드인 조상의

피도 프르죠. 저희는 이 더치 베이비 팬케이크에 대해 조사를 해 봤었고, 한국에서는 어디에서도 찾을 수가 없었어요.” 그리고 그

“그리고 사실은 더치 팬케이크도 아니에요. 사실은 독일식이죠.”

어떻게 되었든 이 메뉴는 맛있다. 그리고 만약 눈치카페가 더치 베이비를 하는 유일한 곳이라면 이 곳을 찾는 발걸음이 헛되지는 않기를 바란다.

How about the cafe’s name? Nunchi is a Korean word literally meaning “eye measurement” but often used to reference when one is looking out for another or can read a situation really well. Interested in the fact that there is no English equivalent to the word, Jon and his wife decided on it for a cafe name, saying: “It gets people talking.”

이후로 몇몇 가게에서 더치베이비를 파는 것을 보았다고 말했다.

Cafe de Nunchi

카페의 이름은 어떨까? 눈치는 한국어로 말 그대로 “눈으로 하는

름으로 쓰게 되었다. “사람들이 카페에 대해 말을 한다.”라는 의 미로.

Cafe de Nunchi also offers amazing fridge tarts, Fondant au Chocolate, the Dutch Baby (re-branded as Nunchi Baby) and various dessert set combinations as well. Their coffee menu has what you would expect but also a few twists. We liked the inclusion of the Coconut Latte and classic staples like Vanilla Latte, Cream Latte, and Caramel Latte. Price points for Cafe de Nunchi are slightly higher than neighboring cafes, but this is due to the fact that they get their beans from a local, Daegu roaster called Cafe Bunker and use their Daegu-roasted Bunker Coffee beans for brewing. This guarantees a unique, local taste hard to find elsewhere. 끝내주는 타르트에 폰당 쇼콜라, 눈치 베이비(더치 베이비), 이외 에도 다양한 디저트 셋트 메뉴가 준비되어 있다. 커피 메뉴는 보

Andong Mask Festival A Daegu Photography Club Adventure

• Written and photographed by Nashville Severance Translated by Yujeong Lee

On October third the Daegu Photography Club went to Hahoe Village in Andong for the International Mask Festival. We were lucky enough that the second weekend of the festival also fell on the same date as Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. There are multiple venues throughout Andong that have performances, although in my experience the stage at Hahoe Village is the best venue. Hahoe Village sits next to a river and is surrounded by mountains giving a superb background to what are very traditional performances. Having taken pictures there last year with Chris Cusick (thelostlens.co.uk) I know that performances differ but some of them, the more iconic, performances stay the same.

This year we watched three performances; there were more that day but as none of us live in Andong we left before the later performances.

The first performance had four men running around in search of a lord to serve. The rich man who was eventually found even presided over the marriage of one of own, despite already being married to a Korean woman. The newly weds had a very prosperous honeymoon as the four manservants presented the four offspring that was a result of this happy yet unexpected union. 첫번째 공연은 네 명의 남자가 모시려는 주인을 찾아 돌아다니는

The second and most iconic “HahoeMaskdance” consists of several parts performed over about an hour.

Some of the highlights contained a bull, which “urinates” on the crowd but then meets his demise at the hands of a farmer who guts and offers the audience the particular organs.

Then you will witness a hard working grandmother slaving over a loom complaining about aches and pains followed by her plea for supplements to her income as she walks around the stage with outstretched hands to the audience. 그다음으로는베틀에서 고되게 일을 하며그 너머로 통증과 고통

을 불평을 하는 한할머니를보게될것이다.그리고는무대를 돌아 다니며 약을 사게 해달라며 관객에게 손을 뻗어 동냥을 했다.

What seems to be the crowd’s second favorite is the monk and young girl. This monk is attracted to a young girl who he witnesses relieve herself. The rest of the skit is spent with him pursuing the young woman. 관객들이 두번째로 좋아했던 것은 승려와 어린 소녀였던 것 같 다. 이 승려는여자가 오줌을 누는 장면을 보고 그 여자에게 끌렸 다. 나머지 내용은 승려가 여자를 쫓아다니는 내용으로 채워졌 다.

Then the crowd favorite is always the drunk man skit.

This particular performance does involve some participation from the audience and if you are not Korean your chances of being pulled up on stage are much the greater than the local populace. 관객들이가장좋아하는내용은항상술취한남자가등장하는장면이 다. 이특정한공연은관객의참여를유도했고만약당신이한국인이

아니라면무대위로뽑혀서올라갈가능성은다른사람들보다훨씬크 다.

On this particular day the final performance that we stayed for was called “IcheonGeobukiNori.” This performance began with a turtle escorted by men dressed

Andong Mask Festival

in what could best be described as ghillie suits. People dressed in traditional Korean clothing dancing or playing drums took up the rest of the stage. This performance would end with two of the dancers each having a solo and both were incredibly spectacular showing a great deal of talent. 우리가 갔던 이 특별한 날 보았던 “이천거북이놀이”라고불렸었

다. 잘 설명해보자면사냥꾼 안내인과 같은 복장을 한 사람들의

에스코트를받은 거북이와 공연이시작되었다. 사람들은 전통적 인 한국의상을 입고 춤을 추고북을 연주하며나머지무대를채웠

다. 이공연은 두명의 춤꾼이각각 솔로공연을 하는것으로끝이났 는데둘다 믿을 수 없을 정도로 화려한 쇼였으며 모두엄청난 재능 을 보여주었다.

The group would leave after the 3pm performance there were two more scheduled for that day. While I personally went only to shoot the performances other photographers did come away from some wonderful shots around the village and from the hill that overlooks the village. 대부분의 그룹은 3시 공연이 끝나자 돌아가고 싶어했지만 그 날

공연이 두 개가 더 남아 있었다. 개인적으로는 공연 사진마찍기 위해 포토워크에 참가했고 반면에 다른 사진작가들은 마을 주위

의 아름다운 사진을 찍거나 언덕에서 마을 전경을 찍고 돌아왔 다.

The Mask Festival happens every year around the beginning of October and is one of the best festivals to visit for a more traditional Korea. 매년 10월초쯤에안동국제탈춤축제가열리며이는한국의전통을 보기위한최고의축제중하나이다.

Volcanic Rocks Can Make a Beautiful Creation Gyeongju Yangnam Jusangjeolli Cliffs • Written and photographed by Thomas Mathews Translated by Yujeong Lee

When people think of winter traveling, they think more of ski resorts than going to the ocean or sea. When people think of traveling to Gyeongju, they think more of historical monuments, museums and tombs from the Silla Dynasty’s capital. But there is one place that is worthing checking out all year around. 사람들이 겨울여행을 떠올리면 바다를 가는 것보다는 스키리조

트를 더 생각하게 된다. 경주에 여행을 간다는 것을 생각하면 신 라왕조의 수도에 있는 역사적인 건축물, 박물관, 무덤 등을 더 생 각하는 편이다. 하지만 1년 내내 가볼만한 한 장소가 있다.

On the outskirts of Gyeongju to the outskirts of Ulsan are some cliffs along the ocean shore. Those cliffs are called Jusangjeolli (주상절리). Jusangjeolli means columnar joint rock formations. These rocks resemble different fallen pillars and are from volcanic rock formations. The most famous Jusangjeolli is on Jeju-island. But between Gyeongju National Park and Jeongja Beach in Ulsan these small set of columnar joint rock formations are also nice to visit. 울산의 외곽지역을 향한 경주 외곽에 해안가를 따라 절벽이 늘 어서 있다. 이 절벽들은 주상절리라고 불리며 주상절리란 원주형 바위의 형태가 연결되어있다는 말이다. 이 바위들은 다르게 떨

어진 기둥을 닮았으며 화산활동을 통해 만들어졌다. 가장 유명한 주상절리는 제주도에 있지만 경주국립공원과 울산의 정자해변 사이에 위치한 원주형 결합 바위도 가서 볼 만한다.

When I visited there on Halloween Day, it was very chilly due to the ocean breeze but it was still worth the short trip from my home in Gyeongsan. It was about 97 km from my home in Gyeongsan (near Yeungnam University) to Gyeongju Yangnam (where Jusangjeolli is located) by car via Gyeongbuk Expressway and National Highway #7. There is about 15 to 20 km where you have to drive up and down a mountain with many curves. 할로윈에 갔을 때는 바닷바람 때문에 매우 추웠지만 집이 있는

경산에서 짧게 여행을 할 만한 가값어치가 있었다. 경산에 있는 집(영남대 근처)에서 경주 양남(주상절리가 있는 곳)까지 차로

경북고속도로와 7번 국도를 타고 가니 97 km 정도였다. 그리고 15~20km 정도는 매우 심한 커브가 있는 산길을 운전해야 한다.

I got there mid-afternoon on Halloween Day. When you first arrived you can see a path, which is called Padosori-gil (파도소리길) which means Sound of Wave Road. This path or small road takes you around and above the cliffs. It is a very nice walk with very nice scenery.

Volcanic Rocks Can Make a Beautiful Creation

http://www.daegucompass.com

-continued on p26할로윈데이 오후가 한창일 때 도착했다. 처음 그 곳에 도착

하면 파도소리길이라고 하는 오솔길을 하나 볼 것이다. 이 오솔길 혹은 작은 도로는 절벽 위로 데려다 데려다 줄 것이 다. 아주 아름다운 풍경을 즐기면 즐겁게 걸어가면 된다.

On this path there are places in where you can take the stairs down and get closer to the cliffs and the ocean water. The shore of the ocean is all volcanic rocks (no sand). As you continue on the path, you will see a cable suspended small footbridge that is suspended from one cliff to another cliff with a small drop that the bridge goes over. Like most suspension bridges this bridge does shake making it feel like a little adventure when crossing it. 가는 길에는 절벽과 바다에 더 가까이 갈 수 있게끔 계단으

로 걸어 내려갈 수 있는 곳이 있다. 해안가에는 모두 화산암

이다.(모래가 없음) 계속 길을 가면 한 절벽에서 다른 절벽에 매달린 작은 다리를 지탱하고 있는 케이블을 보게 될 것이 다.

After we walked across the bridge, we continued our walking on the path to the end of the path which is a deck above the final rock formations which looks similar to a Chinese fan or paper fan.

On this deck you can take many pictures of the beautiful scenery in the background and enjoy more of the ocean breeze. 다리를 건너가서 부채꼴 모양을 닮은 주상절리 위로 설치된 데크가 있는 길의 끝까지 계속 걸어갔다. 이 데크에서는 배경

의 아름다운 풍경과 함께 사진을 찍으며 바닷바람도 즐길 수 있다.

We started our walk back to the entrance of the path when the sun started setting. It was very beautiful. I also heard that when the sun rises in the morning, it is also really beautiful. So if you want to go for an early morning walk or early evening walk, this place is recommended by local residents. 해가 저물기 시작하자 길의 입구로 되돌아가기 시작했다. 정 말 아름다운 순간이었다. 아침에 해가 뜨기 시작하는 순간 역

시 매우 아름답다고 들었다. 이 곳 주민들은 이른 아침이나 초저녁 산책으로 이 곳으로 가보길 추천했다.

And at the entrance of the path, is a small white lighthouse but too small to go inside. Plus around the area, is of course, sashimi (raw fish) restaurants, a hotel named, Napoli Hotel (looks more like a motel than hotel though) and small coffee shops including Caffe Bene. 길의 입구는 작고 하얀 등대가 있지만 안으로 들어가보기엔 너무 작다. 게다가 그 근처에는 횟집, 나폴리 호텔(호텔보다

는 모텔 같아 보였다.), 카페 베네를 포함한 작은 카페들도 물 론 자리하고 있다.

So if you have a chance to take the short drive or bus ride down to Gyeongju, I hope you are able to find your way to Jusangjeolli for a nice walk along the ocean side and see these interesting columnar joint rock formations. 경주로 잠깐 운전을 하거나 버스를 타고 갈 기회가 있다면 주 상절리로 갈 수 있는 기회가 있길 바란다. 바다를 따라 즐거 이 걷다 보면 흥미진진한 원주형 암석을 볼 수 있을 것이다.

KOREA ADVENTURES 허브힐즈 HERB HILLZ

HILLCREST ECO-ADVENTURE THEME PARK • Written and photographed by Cathy Huang Translated by Yujeong Lee

On a breezy and warm Saturday, I went with friends to Herb Hillz theme park, which is one stop before Spa Valley in Daegu. There are a variety of buses that take visitors there, being a short 30 minutes away from downtown. There were still construction going on around the area, but we found signs that directed us to the park easily. The admission price was 9000 won for adults. 바람이 선선히 부는 따뜻한 토요일, 친구들과 함께 스파밸리에서

한 정거장 전에 있는 대구의 허브힐즈에 갔다. 이 곳으로 가는 버

스는 다양하고, 시내에서 짧게는 30분 정도 소요된다. 아직 근처

에 공사가 진행중이긴 했지만 공원으로 안내하는 표지판을 쉽게 찾을 수 있었다. 성인 1명당 입장료는 9천원이었다.

It was a nice place with an abundance of different themed gardens- my favorite being the “green tea” theme and the “international” garden theme with lots of great photo spots and adorable statues such as the Little Prince. Herb Hillz had a very whimsical feeling to it- almost like a fairytale forest with a gentle stream in the background. Many visitors such as young couples, seniors, and families with children were relaxing and taking a stroll. There were animal statues, forest “rest” areas, bridges and even a mini zoo throughout the park! Though the selection of restaurants was not many, the food was plentiful and very organic and fresh. I had a delicious dish called “flower bibimbap” decorated with real flowers.

무르기 좋아했던 곳은 ‘녹차’와 ‘인터내셔널’을 주제로 한 정원이 었는데 사진을 찍을 만한 장소와 어린왕자 같은 귀여운 동상들도 많이 있었다. 허브힐즈는 아주 기발한 장소 같았다. 거의 배경으

로는 조용한 개울이 흐르는 동화속 숲 같은 곳이었다. 젊은 커플 들, 노년층, 아이들이 있는 가족들 등 많은 방문객들이 제각기 휴 식을 취하며 산책을 했다. 공원에서 휴식 공간, 동물 동상, 다리

심지어 미니 동물원도 있었다. 식당의 종류가 다양하지는 않지만 음식의 종류는 많았고 유기농이었으며 매우 신선했다. 나는 진짜 꽃으로 장식이 된 ‘꽃비빔밥’을 먹었다.

Though we didn’t have enough time, I recommend that visitors who are there all day to take part in crafts or cooking classes while there. This is especially catered to families with younger children, but young couples seemed to be enjoying themselves making crafts such as a mini stained glass to chocolate chip cookies. 우리에겐 충분한 시간이 없기는 했지만 허브힐즈에서 하루종일

머물 사람들에게는 공예나 요리 교실에 참여해보기는 권한다. 이

프로그램은 특히 어린 아이들이 있는 가족들에 알맞기는 하지만 어린 커플들도 미니 스테인글래스 같은 공예품이나 초코칩 쿠키 를 만들며 재미있게 시간을 보내는 듯 했다.

Though Herb Hillz was very beautiful, the reason I visited and my favorite part was the “eco-adventures” section that is open to people of all ages, as there were 15 courses ranging from easy to difficult. Being

http://www.daegucompass.com

very adventurous, my friends and I chose the “King Kong” course, which was 25,000 won. This was the hardest course that involved a self-guided zipline canopy course, where we rock climbed, zip lined, balanced on single steel wires, climbed through webs, and went down mini bungee ump at the end. It was definitely hard and physical exerting, taking us almost 2 hours and out of ten people that started with us, half of the people were still behind us when we were finished. It was definitely a good workout in an exhilarating and breath-taking way, and what I loved most is that there are no workers there for guidance, as everyone was responsible for attaching their own ropes and ziplines. 허브힐즈가 매우 아름답지만, 이 곳을 방문하게 된 이유와

I definitely recommend Herb Hillz to people of all ages, as there is a wide variety of activities and sightseeing to do. It is a serene place of beauty, tucked away from the busy streets of downtown and most suitable for visit in the spring or summer. For the adventurous soul, they should have a try at the King Kong course and for those that want to relax and explore, there are plenty of beautiful garden views to take in and even quaint little shops to look around in. Herb Hillz is definitely a gem in Daegu, and one of my favorite places within this city. I would definitely visit there again in the future! 모든 연령대의 사람들에 허브힐즈를 추천한다. 그곳에는 다양한 활동거리와 볼거리가 있다. 아름다우며 고요한 곳이며 시내의 바 쁜 거리에서 떨어져 있으며 봄이나 여름에 방문하기 가장 알맞은

The Daegu Casino Poker Room Pocket Aces Never Looked So Good

• Written by Timothy Robert Photographed by David Oh Translated by Yujeong Lee

If you’ve never been to the Daegu Casino to play poker—or if you haven’t been in a while—now is a good time to check it out. The Daegu Casino Poker Room has gone through quite a few changes recently as new manager David Oh started working a couple of months ago. David’s goal is to make the poker room appealing to a wider audience by hosting a variety of Texas Hold’em events and promotions that allow players of different levels to play at different stakes.

The poker room is a particularly friendly part of the casino. The staff speaks English, and all of the dealers are patient and welcoming. Some are more experienced than others; however, the rake (10%) stays on the table until the hand is finished, and the dealers follow strict standard casino rules, so if a mistake happens, it is easily fixed.

포커룸은 카지노에서 특별히 더 친절한 곳이다. 스탭들은 영어를

몇몇 딜러는 다른 사람들보다 더 경험이 풍부하지만 레이크는 격한 표준 카지노 규정을 준수하고 있어 실수가 생기면 쉽게 해 결이 된다.

As for the players, most are Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, or American. Ages range from early twen-

ties to old as dirt, and people come from a variety of backgrounds. This makes the poker room a great place to meet an interesting people. 플레이를 하는 사람들은 주로 중국인, 베트남인, 몽골인 혹은 미 국인이다. 나이는 20대 초반에서 지긋한 초로의 노인도 있고, 매

우 다양한 배경을 갖고 있다. 이런 점은 포커룸이 흥미로운 사람 들을 만날 수 있는 좋은 장소가 되게끔 해준다.

What is a typical day like at the poker table? The room opens at 2:00 p.m. every day. Most players buy in for KRW 200,000 to get the daily promotion: If you buy in for KRW 200,000 or more before 2:30, you get an extra KRW 50,000 in chips. The only catch is that you have to play the cash game for at least three hours (although you can leave if you end up losing everything). The blinds are KRW 1,000 and KRW 2,000. Usually, the table fills up (9 players max) within the first hour, and players come and go throughout the afternoon. In the evening, especially on weekends, more players show up, and a second table ends up opening. As long as there are players, the room stays open, and players often stay until the wee hours of the morning.

포커테이블에서의 전형적인 하루는 어떠할까? 매일 오후 2시에 문을 열고 대부분의 플레이어들은 데일리 프로모션을 얻기 위해 원화로 20만원치의 칩을 산다. 만약 2시 30분 이전에 20만원 이

If KRW 200,000 is too much for your budget, you can of course buy in for less, or you can play in the weekly Sunday tournament (2:00 p.m.). The buy-in for that is just KRW 50,000, and the top five players get paid, with first place receiving KRW 600,000.

To get to the casino, ask the cab driver to take you to the Inter-Burgo Hotel. There are two Inter-Burgo Hotels in Daegu, so make sure you tell the driver you are going to Manchon. You can also get there by bus. Many buses will take you to the Mangwoo-dang Park bus stop, which is a three-minute walk away from the hotel.

Holiday Shopping Tips Recommended Shopping Places in Daegu for Ladies • Written by Cathy Huang Translated by Yujeong Lee

With the fast approach to wintertime and the constant reminder of the passing of fall, as leaves are changing color and littering the ground with a wide array of colors, me and friends have constantly been on the lookout for fitting, warm, and stylish winter clothing in downtown Daegu this year. One thing I love the most about downtown Daegu is the convenience of shopping, as many boutiques and large clothing stores are clustered together. From doing some fall and winter shopping over the past month, here are some recommendations for good stores that can all be found within close proximity to each other in downtown: 나뭇잎의 색이 바뀌고 다양한 색으로 길바닥이 물들어갈수록 가

을이 지나가고 겨울이 빠르게 다가온다. 올해 나와 내 친구들은 몸에 잘 맞는 따뜻하고 스타일리쉬한 옷을 대구 시내에서 계속해 서 찾고 있었다. 대구 시내에 대해 가장 좋아하는 한 가지는 편리 한 쇼핑이다. 많은 부띠끄와 대형 옷 가게가 함께 모여 있기 때문

이다. 지난 달에 가을과 겨울을 대비한 쇼핑을 한 결과, 시내에서 서로 근접한 위치에 있는 좋은 옷가게들을 소개하고자 한다.

1. STYLENANDA : With a wide variety of accessories, shoes, outerwear, formal wear, and its own makeup line- STYLENANDA is very well known among Koreans as a chic, trend-setting, clothing boutique with a lot of bold pieces. With many stores across Korea, I was delighted to find STYLENANDA on the first floor of the Lotte Young Depart-

ment Store in Daegu downtown. They have some truly quality pieces, from warm long trench coats to fuzzy sweaters, and uniquely designed platform shoes and boots. The best thing is that the store color coordinates the clothing, from pastel hues to blacks- it makes for a great shopping experience. They also have a small selection of hats, scarfs, and gloves that are both stylish and warm.

2. CHEAPCHIC : This store was one of the first that I visited on our very first day trip to Daegu. The store carries a wide variety of clothing for a very cheap price- mostly ranging from \10.000 for basic sweaters and shirts to around \40.000 for trenchcoats, bomber jackets, and leather jackets.

The selling point of this store is that they are always

가을, 겨울 옷에 조금 더하자면, 이 곳 역시 평균 1만원대의 클 러치와 가방이 소량 갖춰져 있다.

3. MIXXO : This store reminds me of Forever 21 in North America with a little bit of Korean styled twist, selling a collection of everything from warm pajamas and socks for the winter on their 2nd floor, to trendy coats and blazers on the first floor. In here, you’ll find many boots, heels, and the 1st floor is also where the “specials” are at, which are displayed in large racks right when you enter the store. The clothing is fashionable and suited for both younger and older women- with nice designs in both causal and formal wear.

4. Lotte Young Plaza : This store carries a massive array of winter trench coats, warm scarfs, sweaters, and racks upon racks of parkas and cardigans. Some notable stores are “KISS.CHU” and “Roem” which both sell beautiful, colorful designed clothing at a reasonable price.

The entire 2nd floor is dedicated to men and women clothing, dependent on the season. If you get tired of shopping and want a break, a very good dessert café called “Billy Angel Cake Co.” is located thereselling everything from rainbow crepes to carrot cakes. The 3rd floor is dedicated to sportswear and causal clothing for both genders. This store, being so close to Daegu Station is very convenient as a

Whole Care Service for a New Mother Postpartum Care in Korea • Written by Elizabeth Riggio Photos submitted by Hyosung Hospital

A recent style of care has begun to make waves in Korea and is slowly gaining traction as a popular option for families. This service, known as Postpartum Care, caters exclusively to women who have just given birth and are seeking help in the recovery process. Although fairly unknown to foreigners, it could become a prominent market in Korean medical tourism in the future.

In Korea, a mother who has just given birth is exempt from any work she used to do before labor such as working, house chores, taking care of the family, etc.

The idea is that this will allow her to focus on the baby and her own physical and mental recovery. During this time, all family members help take care of her.

Postpartum care has become increasingly popular in Korea since 1996 when the first centers opened. It is believed that a woman’s health after giving birth will affect her health for the rest of her life. Delivering a baby is no easy task and the body is drastically changed because of it. The pelvic bone is expanded and all bottom bone structure is dislocated. A woman’s bone density can decrease to 50% in the worst cases. It takes about three months for a woman’s body to get fully recovered. In this way, postpartum care offers a new mother the chance to take care of her body, prevents negative after-effects of labor, and minimizes the risk of infection to the mother or baby. This service also eliminates

42

Whole Care Service for a New Mother

the “thinking” involved with taking care of oneself and one’s baby after birth—it is all done specially for you by professionals.

Postpartum Care Centers are like hotels for mommies who have just gone through the long and difficult process of having a child.According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there are 602 postnatal care centers in Korea and Daegu is home to 32 of them. Of those 32, one of the best centers in Daegu is located at Hyosung Women’s Hospital near the Daegu Bank subway station on the green line.This center is special in that Hyosung specializes in obstetrics and pediatricsso both the doctor who helped in delivery, as well as a nurse, provide care to the mother and her new baby. The Daegu Compassrecently visited Hyosung Hospital’s postpartum care center to get all questions answered about postpartum services.

The idea behind these centers is simple—to lift any burden from the new mother. Mothers stay here with their baby for two to three weeks. Nurses and specialists are available 24/7. All meals are provided that are specific to helping with the mother’s recovery. There are outside specialists who come in to educate the mother in breastfeeding/scheduling, pelvic massages, and yoga. There are spa services as well as outside

http://www.daegucompass.com

exercise time too. Babies are taken care of by nurses around the clock. Each mother has her own room to stay in outfitted with a bathroom, bed, and TV. In some cases, she can opt to have a larger room with a table and chairs and a reclining chair. There is a housekeeper who cleans regularly. It is exactly reminiscent of staying in a high-end hotel room.

Another great perk to Hyosung is its three English coordinators. If you are a foreigner seeking postpartum care, one of these excellent translators will be the liaison between you and the doctor. Most cases in which foreigners are using these services are women who are not Korean but have Korean husbands. It is also common in families in the U.S. military, as well as Chinese, Russian, and Japanese patients who have researched this style of treatment and are interested in using it. It is especially becoming popular within China and so many people come to see how the centers operate in order to open their own back home.

Foreigners who enjoy postpartum care centers are most interested in the breastfeeding aspects of care.

They do not want to feed their babies powdered formula as they believe breastfeeding is important to establishing a baby’s personality. Also, giving birth in western societies is very expensive and this is a more affordable option. However, the biggest reason why foreigners desire this service might be due to the nurses. Most nurses at these centers have worked there for ten or more years. They know what mothers want and they want to impress mothers with their care. For this reason, postpartum care is highly attractive to Koreans and foreigners alike.

In Daegu, an average room at these centers can cost around 2,000,000 won for the whole stay. For a premium room, the cost is around 3,000,000 won. Although it is not cheap, patients can receive quality service and the comfort of knowing they are in good hands.

In some countries, there is little or no time allowed off from work after giving birth. This adds incredible amounts of stress to a new mother’s life, not to mention

DAEGU COMPASS DECEMBER 2015

she is busy taking care of her newborn baby. In Korea, these centers allow women the chance to recuperate as well as have confidence their baby is receiving the care it needs to be healthy. This is a crucial aspect to postpartum care. After all, our health and our families’ health is one of the most essential aspects to a happy life.

This article is the last one of 2015 on Daegu medical tourism. Daegu, EXCO, and the Daegu Medical Tourism Promotion Committee haveworked to promote and market activities related to MICE industry to educate about quality medical service in Daegu. Also they published a helpful medical tourism guide book in six different languages to provide useful information. Be on the lookout in the future for more information from the Daegu Medical Tourism group and all that they provide.

Thank you.

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 the Bangcheon Market Compass Map on p56 for directions.

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

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.
