Barazi

Japanese Inspired with a Korean Twist Written by Katy Babiarz / Photos by Ivan Broida

On a cold and blustery winter night, we ventured out to the Bang Cheon Traditional Market (방천시장) to enjoy a wonderful new restaurant, Barazi (바라지). For those of you who don’t know where it is, it’s about a 10 minute walk from the Kyungpook National University Hospital ( 경대병원역) subway exit number 3. Just head straight after coming up from the escalator, and on you’ll see the market on your right-hand side about 5 minutes later. Go to the entrance where there is a huge square sculpture archway (the second arch way). Go under it and make your second right. Look down about 100 meters or so, and you’ll see their red sign on the left-hand side.

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

Enough about where it is, how about what it is! Well, it’s a Japanese inspired restaurant / flower shop (more about the flower shop later) that serves traditional Japanese food, but with a Ha Ik Jun (하익준) twist. Ik Jun opened this unique restaurant just a month ago because he was inspired by his Korean-Japanese girlfriend (Korean born, but raised in Japan) to do so. He loved the food so much, but wanted to make it with his own flare.

Daegu Food - Barazi

http://daegucompass.com

Now on to the ‘meat and potatoes’ of this place, the food! Barazi offers a small, but delicious menu of various types of noodle dishes, potato pancakes, egg rolls, and booze. The first menu item we got to try was the Bokum Udon (볶음우동). For the next month, this dish will be sold for only 6,000 won at lunch time (12-3 pm), so hurry on up and stop by!

The long, thick noodles, topped with thinly sliced sesame leaves (깻잎), seasoned pork, and various vegetables are surrounded by a deliciously sweet, but slightly spicy sauce. The top layer is what I like to call ‘dancing fish flakes’ (가츠오부시 – Katsuobushi), which are a very thinly-sliced smoked fish flakes that moves from the heat of the food. At dinner time, the dish is served with the addition of seafood for the price of 9,000 won.

We also got to try the Barazi Soup (바라지탕), which is offered in two sizes – small for 15,000 won and large for 18,000 won. If you love fish cakes (어 묵/오뎅), then you will absolutely love this one! It comes with about six completely different types of -continued on p10-

fish cakes, ranging from spicy to vegetable medley, and thick to thin. But that’s not all, there’s also quail eggs and a fried tofu-wrapped package of noodles (유부주머 니) floating about. I’m probably the least excited person to eat fish, but I actually ate it and really enjoyed the plethora of flavors that awakened my taste buds!

Two side dishes were then served: a potato pancake ( 감자전 – 6,000 won/lunch and 8,000 won/dinner) and Castella egg roll (카스텔라 계란말이 – 6,000 won). Both were great, but the egg roll was so soft and delicious, especially with the tangy wasabi soy sauce to dip the pieces in. I’ve never tasted an egg roll so sweet and creamy before!

As an extra bonus treat to us, Ik Jun brought out a Flaming Sake drink (불타는 사케) for 4,000 won. It comes in a beautiful clay cup and is set on fire as it is being poured out of the kettle. This warm drink is perfect for the cold nights we are enduring these days.

Ik Jun is also a talented florist who has been in the business for eight years before opening up a restaurant.

He has a pamphlet that shows all the different types of arrangements he can do – simple ‘I Love You’ bouquets, wedding bouquets, air plants, and grand opening displays. If you are interested, ask for the booklet and browse through them while you are awaiting your delicious food to be served, or just help yourself and grab it off the shelf.

Barazi is down a hidden street, but it’s not so hidden that you can’t find it! After strolling down the Kim Kwang Suk Road (김광석 길), wander on over to Barazi and enjoy some warm noodle dishes, beautifully crafted traditional Japanese plates, and a nice warm glass of sake. In Ik Jun’s words, “Stop by for some flowers and booze with food.”

Now, I had mentioned in the beginning about the restaurant also being a flower shop. To explain this a bit more,

The Paella: Spanish Food in Daegu Authentic Taste, Great Price!

Written and translated by Hyerin Kim / Photos by Bryan Van Hise

Looking for a new style of food in Daegu? Thinking that maybe you've already run the gamut of all possible non-Korean food restaurants already? Well, there's likely one more stop you should make: The Paella, a Spanish restaurant in downtown Daegu. 서울과 달리 다양한 음식을 경험하기 부족한 대구에서 색 다른 음식을 도전하고 싶다면, 여기 The Paella 스페인 음식을 추천한다.

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

Among Saffron Paella, Squid Ink Paella, Quesadillas, and Gambas, the best dish is without a doubt the Seafood Saffron Paella. This dish comes loaded with seafood broth, seafood toppings, and rice in the pan. It easily looks just like a fried rice dish but tastes bit special due to the addition of saffron, a unique spice. 샤프란 빠에야, 오징어 먹물 빠에야, 퀘샤디아, 감바스 등 다양한 음식 중에서 어느 것 하나를 고르라고 한다면, 개 인적으로 해물 샤프란 빠에야를 추천한다. 팬에 해물육수

Daegu Food - The Paella: Spanish Food in Daegu

http://daegucompass.com

와 해물, 쌀 등을 넣고 요리한 음식인 빠에야는 간단 히 말해서 볶음밥과 비슷한 음식이나 ‘샤프란’이라는 특이한 향신료를 더해 색다른 느낌을 전달한다.

When I eat Paella, I always enjoy scraping off the last bits of remaining fried rice with my spoon. On top of that each table is adorned with real flowers and the interior décor of the restaurant makes me feel that Spain not only has great cuisine, but is a place to visit one day as well. 특히 나는 빠에야를 먹을 때 팬에 붙은 고소한 밥알을 긁어 먹는 것도 하나의 재미이다. 그뿐만이 아니라 테 이블 마다 놓인 생화와 스페인를 느낄 수 있는 인테리 어는 보는 이로 하여금 먹는 재미뿐만 아니라 보는 재 미까지도 선사한다.

You can order Paella as a single serving, however whether a single or double order, it will still come in just one pan. Rather than ordering two Paellas for two people (should you go with a friend), I suggest trying the Paella for one person and then ordering -continued on p14-

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

Daegu Food - The Paella: Spanish Food in Daegu

http://daegucompass.com

another dish off the menu. (Paella for one person is not a small portion, so why not order one and then a side of Quesadillas?) It's a perfect combination. 빠에야는 인원수에 따라 주문이 가능한데 1인분을 주문 하든 2인분을 주문하든 하나의 팬에 나온다. 개인적으로 는 2명이 가서 2인분의 빠에야를 주문하기 보다, 빠에야 1인분과 다른 음식 1개를 주문하여 먹기를 추천한다.( 빠 에야의 양이 기본적으로 적지 않고, 퀘사디아는 half 주 문이 가능하다.)

Located downtown. Walk down the same street as Lazy Diner. Before getting to the end, The Paella will be on your left.

Hours Tuesday-Friday: 12pm-10:30pm (closed between 3pm-5pm) Saturday, Sunday, Holidays: Open all day Mondays: Closed

Seoul Searching Markets, Palaces and the DMZ Written and Photographed by Kimberly Smith / Translated by Yujeong Lee

There is so much to see and do in Seoul. My husband and I recently took the train to Seoul and spent several days shopping and participating in group tours. I wanted to share some of those experiences with you so that you can get as much enjoyment out of the city as we did. This was not our first trip to Seoul but it was our best. 서울에는 볼거리와 해볼 것들이 가득하다. 최근 남편과 함 께 기차를 타고 서울에 가서 쇼핑과 단체 투어에 참가를 하 며 몇 일 동안 머물렀다. 그리고 이 글을 통해 우리가 서울 에서 즐겁게 즐겼던 만큼 이 글을 읽는 독자들도 좋은 시간 을 보내기 바라며 우리의 경험담을 함께 나누고 싶다. 이 번이 첫번째 서울 여행은 아니었지만 최고의 여행이었다.

Our favorite market is Namdaemun. It's especially fun during the holiday season because they sell unique Christmas boxes and decorations that are not the typical ones we are used to. In the same area was Alpha which is the stationary superstore. We literally got lost inside because there are so many stairs and halls to traverse.

Outside, my husband found me a nice cape which I wore over my other coat to keep warm. There were a lot of clothes, toys, and souvenirs to buy. We saw stairs leading to an underground section of the market.

It looked like a great way to stay warm. I realized we hit the jackpot. It's the place to buy craft supplies and 16

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

party favors, things I was looking for. The prices were much cheaper than I could find in Daegu so I will be going back to that underground section on my next trip to Seoul. 우리가 가장 좋아하는 시장은 남대문 시장이다. 특히 휴일 시즌이 더 재미있는데 외국에서 사용하는 전형적인 아이 템이 아닌 독특한 크리스마스 박스와 장식물들을 팔고 있 기 때문이다. 같은 시장 안에 ‘알파’라는 대형 문구점이 있 는데 수많은 계단과 가로질러야 하는 넓은 홀 때문에 말 그대로 안에서 길을 잃었다. 바깥에서는 남편이 나를 위 해 겉옷 위에 한 번 더 따뜻하게 두를 수 있는 멋진 망토 를 발견했다. 그 외에도 산더미 같은 옷과 장난감, 기념품 들이 가득했다. 그리고 시장 지하로 내려가는 계단을 보게 되었다. 지하로 내려가면 정말 따뜻할 것 같았는데 내려가 는 순간 잭팟을 터뜨렸다는 생각이 들었다. 그 곳에는 내 가 찾던 공예재료들과 파티 용품들이 있었다. 대구에서 보 다 훨씬 더 싼 가격이어서 다음 서울에 와도 다시 그 지하 매장에 들를 생각이다.

My husband and I are aquarium enthusiasts and knew that there must be a part of town where we could look at tropical fish. After searching several blog sites, we set off to Dongdaemun Market. It's known as the clothing market district but it also has an interesting variety of small pets. We saw hedge hogs, turtles, guinea pigs, rabbits, ducks, and pheasants for sale. We kept on

Travel Reports - Seoul Searching

http://daegucompass.com

walking and eventually found the aquarium district. It was truly amazing. Going into the salt water aquarium stores was like being taken back in time.

We could tell how healthy the tanks were and that they had been established many years ago. Keeping salt water fish so healthy is both a science and an art. We visited at least ten freshwater tropical fish stores as well. They were amazing and we experienced more variety there than in any other place in Korea. 남편과 나는 수족관에 열광하는 사람들이어서 열대 물고기들을 볼 수 있는 장소가 서울에 있다는 것을 알 고 있었다. 우리는 몇 군데의 블로그를 살펴 본 후에 동대문 시장을 떠났다. 동대문 시장은 옷을 전문으로 파는 시장으로 알려져 있는다. 흥미로운 소형 애완동 물이 다양하게 있는 곳이기도 하다. 시장에는 고슴도 치, 거북이, 기니피그, 토끼, 오리, 비둘기 등을 팔고 있었다. 우리는 계속해서 발걸음을 옮겼고 마침내 물 고기를 파는 구역을 찾아냈다. 정말 멋진 곳이었다. 바닷물 수족관 상점에 들어서니 마치 시간을 거슬러 올라가는 듯 했다. 수조는 정말 양호한 편이었고, 수 년 전에 만들어졌다고 분명히 말할 수 있었다. 바닷 물 물고기를 그렇게 건강하게 키우는 것은 과학이자 예술이다. 우리는 민물 열대어 가게도 적어도 10군 -continued on p18-

데는 가 보았다. 재미도 있었지만 한국의 어디보다도 버라 이어티한 곳이었다.

The first tour we went on was the Palace Tour. Our first stop was Jogye-sa Buddhist Temple. We were wondering why there were so many news reporters outside of the temple. We were told that there was a strike and that a labor union leader was staying in the temple. Next, we visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace. We were told ahead of time that we needed to be there prior to 10 AM and were pleasantly surprised to find out why. Every morning, there is a changing of the guard ceremony. First, a guard hits a giant drum. Then, a parade of guards and musicians came out from behind the palace walls. We learned that this was not the original royal palace. Our tour guide Mark told us how the Japanese destroyed the original one during their occupation and how it was rebuilt to preserve their national heritage. We walked to the National Folk Museum of Korea. We were happy to warm up inside the free museum. After the museum, we had a quick drive by The Blue House which is the residence of President Park Geun-hye. Mark told us about her three firsts. She is the first woman President of Korea, the first President to have a father who was 18

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

also President and the first single President. The last part of the tour was fun the first day. We later found out it would be the last part of every tour that we took. It was a stop to Seoul Amethyst. The staff showed us how jewelry was made and had beautiful displays of amethyst statues and jewelry. A few people on our tour actually bought jewelry and were very satisfied with the quality. 우리가 갔던 첫번째 투어는 궁궐 투어였다. 첫번째 목적지 는 조계사였다. 우리는 절 밖에 왜 그렇게 많은 뉴스 기자 들이 있는 지 궁금했다. 그러자 파업이 있었는데 사찰 내 에 노동조합장이 머무르고 있다고 들었다. 다음으로 경복 궁에 갔다. 이미 우리는 오전 10시 이전에 도착해야 한다 는 이야기를 들었었고, 왜 그래야 했는지 이유를 알게 되 어 기쁨으로 놀랐다. 매일 아침에 수문장 교대의식이 있 다. 제일 먼저 병사가 거대한 북을 두드리고 성벽 뒤에서 타악대와 수문장의 행진이 나왔다. 우리는 궁전건물이 원 형이 아니라고 들었다. 투어가이드인 마크가 어떻게 일제 강점기 동안 일제가 원래의 궁을 파괴했는지 어떻게 국가 유산을 보존하기 위해 재건축을 했는지에 대해 말해주었 다. 그 다음으로 걸러서 국립민속박물관으로 갔고, 무료 박물관 안에서 따뜻하게 있을 수 있어서 행복했다. 박물 관 다음으로 버스를 타고 박근혜 대통령이 살고 있는 청와 대 옆을 지나갔다. 마크는 그녀가 만든 세가지 첫 번째에 대해 말해줬다. 박근혜 대통령은 한국의 첫 번째 여성 대 통령이고, 아버지가 대통령인 첫 번째 대통령이며, 첫 번

Travel Reports - Seoul Searching

http://daegucompass.com

째 미혼 대통령이다. 투어의 마지막은 첫 번째 날의 재미 있었던 부분이었다. 후에 알게 된 것이었는데 우리가 갔던 모든 투어의 마지막 코스가 될 수도 있었다. 바로 ‘서울 자 수정’이 그 곳이었다. 직원은 보석이 어떻게 만들어지는지 보여주었고 내부에는 아름다운 자수정 상과 보석을 전시 해두었다. 투어 그룹의 몇몇 사람들은 실제로 보석을 샀고 보석의 퀄리티에 굉장히 만족했다.

Our second tour was to the DMZ or Demilitarized Zone.

The first stop was a nice park right outside of the DMZ. The most emotional part of the tour was at this point because there were messages hung all over the gate at the closed bridge. The messages were calls for peace and notes to loved ones in North Korea. At this point, we saw the Peace Bell and an old steam locomotive.

We also walked inside of Dorasan Station, the northern most train station in South Korea. The next stop on the tour was The Third Tunnel. South Korea has discovered four infiltration tunnels which were built by North Korea in an attempt to move troops to the South. Luckily, they were discovered and interestingly, Tunnel 3 has become a tourist trap. The walk down was easy and

after about 10 minutes, we were in the humid tunnel which still has visible dynamite holes and charcoal on it. We were told that it was covered in charcoal by the North Koreans because they tried to claim they were mining for coal. However, there is none in this area. The walk back up was pretty steep and by the time we made it to the top, we realized that it started snowing outside.

Therefore, the last part of our trip was cancelled. It was to an observation tower. Instead, our tour guide gave us a briefing using a mural on the wall. He pointed to the North Korean city of Kijeongdong. It's known as the propaganda city because it's built like a Hollywood movie set. The one thing that is real is their flag pole which stands at 525 feet. He showed us the farm land which is being cultivated by a small village of people who live inside of the DMZ and which areas we would be seeing on our next tour. 투어의 두번째 여행지는 DMZ였다. 첫번째로 멈춰선 곳 은 DMZ 바로 바깥에 있는 멋진 공원이었다. 투어에서 가 장 감동적이었던 순간이었는데 폐쇄된 다리에 메세지가 담긴 리본 등이걸려져 있었기 때문이었다. 그 내용은 평화 를 기원하고 북쪽에 있는 사랑하는 사람들에게 보내는 편 -continued on p20-

지였다. 이 때 평화의 종과 오래된 증기기관차를 보게 되 었다. 그리고 남한에서 가장북쪽에 위치한 도라산 역 내 부에도 들어가 보았다. 다음 목적지는 제 3땅굴이었다. 남한은 북한이 군대를 남한으로 내려 보내려는 의도를 가 지고 만든 침투 목적의 땅굴을 네 개나 발견했다. 다행히 도 사전에 발견이 되었고 흥미롭게도 제 3 땅굴은 관광지 가 되었다. 걸어서 내려가는 건 어렵지 않았고 10분쯤 지 나자 아직도 숯으로 덮인 선명한 다이나마이트 구멍이 남 아있는 습한 굴로 진입하게 되었다. 숯은 북한이 덮었다 고 했는데 석탄을 채굴하기 위해서라고 굴을 팠다고 주장 하기 위해서였다. 하지만 이 지역에는 석탄이 없다. 다시 걸어서 올라가는 건 꽤 가팔랐고 위로 올라 왔을 때에는 바깥에 눈이 내기리 시작했다. 그래서 투어의 마지막 코 스는 취소가 되었는데 전망대 코스였다. 대신에 가이드가 벽에 있는 벽화를 이용하여 짧은 설명을 해주었다. 가이

드는 기정동이라는 북한의 도시를 가리켰다. 그 곳은 선 전용 도시로 알려져 있는데 왜냐하면 마치 헐리우드 영화 세트장처럼 건설되어 있기 때문이다. 한가지 진짜인 것 은 160m짜리 깃대뿐이다. 그리고 DMZ 내의 작은 마을 에서 거주하는 주민들이 경작하는 텃밭도 보여주었는데 우리가 다음 코스에서 보게 될 곳이었다.

The third tour we took was to the JSA or Joint Security Area. It was where the Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27, 1953. First, we had a briefing by the United Nations Command. Then, we changed to other buses so that we could visit the Military Armistice Commission Conference Building. This was the most dramatic part of my trip because we were inside

http://daegucompass.com

군 사령부에서 간단한 설명을 듣고 난 후 판문점 회의장 건물로 가기 위해 다른 버스로 갈아탔다. 이 때가 서울 여 행 중 가장 드라마틱한 순간이었다. 왜냐하면 우리가 건 물 안에 있는 회담 탁자 반대편으로 가면 북한 땅에 있는 것이기 때문이었다. 다음으로 기정동과 한국전쟁 이후 포 로들을 교환했던 ‘돌아올 수 없는 다리’를 볼 수 있는 전망 대로 갔다. 그리고 더 가까이에서 보기 위해 버스를 타고 다리 아래와 기념지로 향했다. 투어 내내, 우리는 항상 감 시 받았으며 어떠한 갑작스런 행동이나 돌발 행동을 하지 않도록 주의받았다. 투어의 마지막은 비빔밥 점심이었다.

of North Korea when we crossed to the other side of the conference table within this building. Next, we went to a lookout point where we saw Kijeongdong and the Bridge of No Return where prisoners were exchanged after the Korean War. Then, our bus took us down to the bridge and a memorial site to get a closer look.

Throughout the tour, we knew we were always being watched and were warned not to make any sudden or unexpected movements. The last part of our tour was a bibimbap lunch.

I highly recommend taking the time to discover Seoul by spending time at the markets and attending group tours. The guides are well trained and offer insights that you can't read about. We were so grateful to travel to Seoul to and to learn about the history of Korea. Enjoy your trip! 서울에 가면 시장과 그룹투어를 하며 시간을 보내길 적극 추천한다. 가이드들은 뛰어났고 우리가 알 수 없는 내용까 지 알려주었다. 서울을 여행하고 한국역사에 배울 수 있어 서 매우 감사했다. 모두들 즐거운 여행하시길!

우리가 세 번째로 간 곳은 공동경비구역이었다. 이 곳은 1953년 7월 27일 정전 협정이 맺어진 곳이다. 먼저 UN

This can be daunting for some, but for most, once their fins slip into the water and bubbles begin to rise, a moment begins to build like the first time they learned how to ride a bike. When the fear of falling, or in this case breathing underwater subsides, people can experience that rare moment of pure joy. They trust that a single tank filled with 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen will keep them alive for 40 some odd minutes. They believe that the person guiding them, who is virtually a complete stranger by the way, is in complete control and will return them to safety. It’s truly fascinating how this cycle happens over and over and only on rare occasions do you hear about scuba diving deaths or accidents (Report on De22

The island is called Koh Tao and it’s filled with a band of misfits. 아주 아주 멀리 있는 섬이 있다. 사람들이 매일 자발적으 로 저 깊이, 깊은 대양 속으로 가라앉기로 선택한 곳. 이 곳에 대해 누군가는 겁을 먹을 수도 있지만, 대부분의 사 람들은 등에 붙어 있을 지도 모를 지느러미가 물 안으로 미끄러져 들어가고 물거품이 떠 오르기 시작하면 마치 처 음 자전거 타는 법을 배우는 것처럼 한 순간씩 만들어 나 간다. 마침내 그 순간이 터지고 더 이상 낙하에 대한 두려 움이 없어지면, 모든 것은 사라져 버리고 무엇인가를 처음 해 본다는 순수한 즐거움이 사람들을 감싸 안는다. 그리고 사람들은 21%의 산소와 79%의 질소가 들어있는 하나의

(Decompression Illness, Diving Fatalities and Project Dive Exploration DAN의 보고). 이러한 낯선 이에 대한 신뢰를 보여주는 것은 타이만에 있는 작은 섬에 한 커뮤니티를 만들었다. 이 섬은 코타오라고 하며 부적응 자의 무리들로 가득하다.

Koh Tao is a mixed bag of fun, mayhem and relaxation.

It rests peacefully in the Gulf of Thailand just north of Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. The island boasts over 50 dive resorts and shops to select from. There are large operations like Buddha View Dive Resort, Ban's Diving, Crystal and plenty of smaller shops. There are also different organizations to choose from with PADI being the most famous, SSI up and coming and a few NAUI dive shops. There are conversations taking place

at this very moment where the merits of each organization are hotly debated, but for most on vacation, these differences are a mute point as each organization puts the diver's safety first and that is the most important point! Most of the dive shops offer free rooms with their dive course packages, so the challenge is finding the right dive shop. Buddha View Dive Resort has some of the best facilities and instructors on the island. It is located in Chalok Bay and offers beginner open-water scuba diving courses to instructor training courses. 코타오는 재미와 광란과 휴식이 한 데 섞인 곳이다. 코 파 냥과 코 사무이의 북쪽에 있는 타이만에서는 평화롭게 자 리 잡고 있으며, 섬에는 50개가 넘는 잠수 리조트와 가게 가 있어 마음대로 고를 수가 있다. 부다 뷰 다이브 리조트, 반즈 다이빙, 크리스털와 같은 대규모 시설과 그 외의 많 은 작은 규모의 다이브 샵들이 있다. 그리고 다양한 잠수 협회도 있는데 PADI가 가장 유명하고 SSI는 새로 떠오르 는 곳이며 몇몇 NAUI 관련 다이브 샵들도 있다. 요즘 들 어 각 협회의 장점에 대해 뜨겁게 논쟁이 일어나고 있다 는 말이 있는데 대부분 휴가의 경우에는 이러한 차이점 들이 아무 상관이 없다. 각각의 협회 모두 다이버의 안전 을 최우선으로 하며 그 것이 가장 중요하기 때문이다. 대 -continued on p24-

부분의 다이브 샵들은 잠수코스 패키지와 함께 방을 무료 로 제공하고 있으니 제대로 된 다이브 샵을 찾는 것이 관 건이다. 부다 뷰 다이브 리조트는 섬 내 최고의 시설과 강 사를 보유하고 있다. 이 곳은 찰럭만에 위치해 있으며 초 보 스쿠버 다이빙 코스부터 전문가 훈련 코스까지 모두 준비되어 있다.

At the southern tip lies Chalok Bay. Chalok Bay has a fantastic sand bar in the early afternoon where people can walk out to and sunbathe. It is also home to the best dive shop on Koh Tao, Buddha View Dive Resort.

When people aren't diving, they seem to be relaxing at Babaloo. A one of a kind beach bar, equipped with ocean hammocks, fire shows and beach buckets of course. Chalok Bay is also home to Bar Next Door, Buddha Bar and Reggae Bar. There is also a place called Castle that throws wicked raves four times a month.

There are a lot of great accommodations along the beach, Tropicana being the best and Sunshine Beach Resort being an ant infested trap. Make sure to ask to see the room before booking and talk to folks who are staying there about their experience. Backpackers are pretty honest when it comes to finding cheap and clean places to stay on the island.

찰럭만은 남쪽에 튀어나와 있는 부분에 위치해 있고, 이른 아침에 사람들이 걸어 나갈 수 있고 일광욕을 할 수 있는 환상적인 모래 바가 있는 곳이다. 또한 코 타오 최고의 다 이브 샵, 부다 뷰 다이브 리조트가 있는 곳이기도 하다. 사 람들이 잠수를 하지 않을 때는 바발루에서 한가롭게 쉬는 듯 하다. 비치 바의 하나로 바닷가에 있는 해먹과 불쇼가 있고 물론 비치 버켓도 있다. 찰럭만에는 바 넥스트 도어, 부다 바, 레게 바도 있다. 그리고 캐슬이라고 불리는 곳에 서는 한 달에 네 번 광란의 레이브 파티가 열리기도 한다. 해변을 따라서는 훌륭한 숙소들이 많이 있는데 트로피카 나가 최고이며, 선샤인 비치 리조트는 개미가 득시글 거린 다. 예약을 하기 전에 반드시 방을 보여달라고 부탁을 하 거나 그 곳에 머무르고 있는 사람의 이야기를 들어보아라. 배낭여행자들은 섬에 있는 저렴하고 깨끗한 숙소를 찾는 다고 하면 정직하게 이야기를 해준다.

On the east side of the island, away from the crowd, is a fantastic beach, Tanote Bay. This beach has a winding road leading down from the mountain and opens up to the ocean with an amazing bay filled with beautiful aqua colored water. Beautiful rock formations jut up from the bay where snorkeling and cliff jumping are a must! This beach only has a couple of resorts on it and is home to Crystal Dive Resort. 사람들로부터 떨어져 있는 섬의 동쪽에는 환상적인 해변,

타노테 만이 있다. 이 해변에는 산에서 내려오는 구불 구불한 길이 있는데 아름다운 아쿠아빛 물로 채워진 경 탄할 만한 만이 있는 바다로 이어져 있다. 아름다운 바 위가 바다에서 솟아 올라와 있으며 이 곳에서는 스노클 링과 절벽 다이빙을 꼭 해봐야만 한다! 오직 이 곳에만 두 개 정도의 리조트가 있고 크리스탈 다이브 리조트가 있는 곳이기도 하다.

Many people come to this island just for scuba diving, but there are those who arrive to experience the pristine beaches and meet fellow party people on the Full Moon Party circuit. Sairee beach is the main beach and closest to Mae Haad pier. It is where the main party people come to play. There are beach bars, restaurants, shops and ATM machines. Lotus bar, Fish Bowl and Koh Tao's famous pub crawl at Choppers are where most of the wild things play at night. An upscale resort and great beach bar can be found at Maya Beach Resort. It can get very crowded in this area before and after the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan, so it pays to book accommodation ahead of time. Trip Advisor is a great source of information on the best place to stay for those on a budget.

많은 사람들이 스쿠버 다이빙만을 하러 이 섬에 오지만 오 염되지 않은 자연 그대로의 해변을 즐기고 풀문 파티를 순 회하는 파티 친구를 만나러 오는 사람들도 있다. 사이리 해변이 주 해변이며 매 하아드 부두에서 가장 가까운 곳이 다. 또한 파티를 하러 오는 사람들이 노는 주요 해변이기 도 해서 비치 바, 식당, 상점, ATM이 있다. 초퍼스에 있는 로터스 바, 피쉬 보울, 코 타오의 유명한 펍 순례는 밤에 일어나는 대부분의 와일드한 일들이 벌어지는 곳이다. 고 급스러운 리조트와 괜찮은 비치 바는 마야 비치 리조트에 서 찾아볼 수 있다. 코 파냥의 풀문 파티 전후로는 이 지역 이 매우 붐빌 수 있으니 미리 숙소를 예약해놔야 한다. 한 정된 예산으로 묶을 만한 장소에 대해 정보를 얻기에는 트 립 어드바이저가 도움이 많이 된다.

Getting to the island is fairly simple depending on your budget and time constraints. The easy way is to fly into Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International airport and book a flight to Koh Samui through Bangkok Airways ($350).

When you exit the airport there is a ferry from Samui to Koh Tao through Lomprayah high speed ferry company (600baht). It takes about 2 hours before it reaches the island. The ferry stops at Koh Phangan first and then Koh Tao. Beach bungalows during high season from December to March and July to August usually run around 600-1200 baht a night for a clean room, 26

fan, shower (usually cold, but it's so hot, who cares) and a bed. 섬으로 들어가는 것은 예산과 시간의 제약에 따라 꽤 간단 하다. 쉬운 방법은 방콕의 수바르나부미 국제 공항으로 날 아가서 방콕 에어웨이즈 항공사를 통해 코 사무이로 가는 비행기를 예약하는 것(350달러)이다. 공항을 나서면 롬 프아야 고속 페시회사에서 운영하는 사무이에서 코 타오 로 가는 페리(600바트)가 있다. 섬에 도착하기까지 약 2 시간이 소요된다. 페리는 먼저 코 파냥에 들렀다가 코 타 오로 간다. 깨끗한 방, 선풍기, 샤워시설(온수는 안 나오지 만 날씨가 워낙 더우니 무슨 상관인가), 침대가 갖춰진 해 변의 방갈로는 12~3월, 6~8월 성수기 동안 하룻밤에 보 통 600~1200바트이다.

Final words of wisdom: rent motorbikes at places that accept copies of a passport. Do not leave a passport with a motorbike shop. If they insist, move onto the next. Some reputable places to rent bikes are at P & N Guesthouse (Chalok Bay) and Buddha View 2 Bike Shop (Chalok Bay). They do have a deposit charge of 5,000 baht, but as long as the bike is in the same condition when it is returned, there'll be no hassle receiving the deposit back.

There's much more to be said about this wonderful place in the Gulf of Thailand, but with most things in life,

Life is Sweet Field Hand, Author and Illustrator... J Muzacz Interview by Scott McLaughlin / Illustrations by J Muzacz http://jmuzacz.com/

Life Is Sweet: The Story of a Sugarcane Field is the first ever bilingual account of life on Ishigaki Island, with an emphasis on the island's major crop the satou-kibi sugarcane.

‘Life is Sweet:사탕수수밭의 이야기’는 이시가키섬의 주 요 작물인 사탕 수수에 대한 강조와 함께 섬의 삶에 대한 설명을 두가지 언어로 한 첫번째 책이다

Having worked the harvest as a field hand, author and illustrator J Muzacz was immersed in a completely authentic experience of local tradition. From back-breaking work as he fell tough cane by hand, to riding in a 12-ton truck dumping cane at the factory, the labor and lifestyle reminiscent of plantation days yet akin to so many other south islands of present-day Okinawa, and countless other cane fields around the world. 작가이자 일러스트레이터인 J. Muzacz는 일꾼으로써 사

탕수수 수확 시기에 일을 하며 섬의 전통의 진수를 경험 에 하는 것에 완전히 몰두하게 되었다. 손으로 거친 수수 를 느끼는 등이 휠 정도의 일에서부터 12톤 덤프 트럭 을 타고 공장에 수수를 내려놓는 일까지, 플랜테이션 농 장을 연상시키지만 현재의 오키나와의 많은 남쪽 섬들과 유사한 일과 삶의 양식, 그리고 전 세계의 셀 수 없는 다 른 수수밭들.

With a keen eye for detail, Muzacz draws the cane field and its cute little critters with the utmost accuracy. Images are often more lifelike than the real thing, always vivid with characters jumping right off the page.

Muzacz는 예리하게 자세히 살펴보는 눈으로 사탕수수밭 과 귀엽고 작은 동물을 극도로 정확하게 그려냈다. 종종 그림은 실물보다 더 실물 같고, 항상 등장인물이 책에서 바로 뛰쳐 나올 듯이 생생하다.

Special Feature - Life is Sweet

A book full of fun facts and educational on many levels. The simple story hints at the worldwide struggle of modern farmers trying to preserve the natural ecosystem while still producing a successful cash crop. Also explained is the process through which we get the actual sweet stuff, as juice extracted from cane and boiled down to become mineral-packed kokuto black rock sugar. 책은 재미있는 사진과 여러모로 교육적인 내용으로 가득하다. 단 순한 이야기가 자연 생태계를 지키며 성공적으로 환금작물을 생 산해내려는 현대 농부들의 전세계적인 고군분투에 대해 넌지시 알려준다. 또한 사탕수수에서 즙을 짜내서 미네랄이 가득한 코쿠 토 흑설탕 덩어리가 되도록 끓이는, 우리가 실제로 설탕을 얻는 과정도 설명해준다.

Great for elementary readers age 10 and up, though even parents and teachers will learn a thing or three with a read through. With a helpful glossary of Japanese terms from the text, the young language learner will find Life Is Sweet useful, too.

11세 이상 초등학생들에게 적극 추천하지만 부모님과 선생님도 책을 읽는 동안 몇 가지 배울 점이 있다. 책에 나오는 일본어로 된 용어를 설명하는 유용한 용어사전이 있어서 언어를 배우는 어린 이들에게 “Life is Sweet”가 도움이 될 것이다.

All-in-all an insightful book packed with bright and poignant illustrations, one that you can read over and over, always finding something fresh, new and interesting to take with you. You can't put that in your cup of coffee now can you? 이 통찰력 있는 책은 밝고 가슴 아픈 일러스트레이션이 가득하다. 그리고 마음 속에 담아갈 수 있는 신선하고 새롭고 재미있는 내용 을 읽고 또 읽을 때마다 항상 발견해 낼 수 있는 책이다. 이제 당신 은 그냥 잠시 잠깐 읽고 치울 수 없다, 그럴 수 있을까?

You used to live in Korea. What inspired you to head to Japan?

How was the transition from Korea to Japan as an artist?

Whilst in Korea in 2008, I took a summer vacation to Japan for a week. I went to Fuji Rock Music Festival, couch surfed with Mochan at his famous Wish Club in Shizuoka, hiked around Kurama north of Kyoto City and got lost in sweaty Osaka, too. During my trip, albeit short, I experienced a sort of de ja vous numerous times, the kind you know when you feel as if you have been to this place before, although it was definitely my first time ever to Japan.

Something just clicked, over and over, and it wasn't just the noisy chirping of the cicadas in summer either. I guess that was the week that peaked my interest, and thereafter I set about contemplating on a way to get back and work in Japan in order to spend more time there in the future. 당신은 한 때 한국에 살았다. 일본으로 오게 된 계기는 무엇인가? 한국에서 일본으로 오며 작가로의 변화는 어떠한가?

Wish Club에서 카우치 서핑을 하고, 교토시 북쪽의 쿠라 마 근처를 등산하고, 땀이 뻘뻘 나는 오사카에서 길을 잃 어버리기도 했다. 여행을 하는 동안 비록 짧기는 했지만 많은 데자뷰 현상을 겪었다. 일본에 온 건 확실히 생애 처 음이긴 하지만 마치 이전에 이 장소에 와 본 듯 한 느낌을 받는 그런 것 말이다. 그런 잠깐 잠깐의 순간들이 계속 해 서 일어났고, 여름에 시끄럽게 떠들석거리며 울어대는 매 미는 아니었다. 내 생각에는 그 한 주가 내 흥미를 최고조 로 이끌었던 것 같다. 그 후에 미래에 일본에서 더 많은 시 간을 보내기 위해 일본으로 돌아와 일을 하는 것에 대해 심사숙고하기 시작했다.

Artistically, I transitioned from a super-megalopolis Seoul to a small fishing village on the sea of just a few thousand, so there were many changes and challenges, like finding an outlet for my work. Being predominately a muralist, I thrive in concrete jungles with endless wall space. In Japan, I could not find a bunch of trash to build dinosaurs like the one I put up in Apgujeong, or paint under bridges with my graffiti buddies BARNES, BLUCE, GRL and BFMIN like at Sindorim, so I had to get back to the basics. Just pen and paper, I would just go home every day after teaching English at the local public schools to my sketchbooks at the small kitchen table and start out with something Japan in mind, or maybe a picture from an old history book for reference. That was the simple and meditative project idea that would turn into my first book published in 2012, Japan 365: A Drawing-A-Day Project. 예술적으로, 나는 엄청난 대도시인 서울에서 고작 수천 명 의 인구가 있는 작은 바닷가의 어촌 마을로 옮겨 왔기에 일 때문에 아울렛몰을 찾는 것 등 많은 변화와 도전이 있 었다. 대부분 벽화 화가가 되면, 나는 끝이 없는 벽의 공

간이 있는 콘크리트 정글에서 성공할 수 있다. 일본에서 는 압구정에 세웠던 공룡 같은 것을 만들기 위한 쓰레기를 한 가득 찾거나 신도림에서 그래피티 동료인 BARNES, BLUCE, GRL and BFMIN와 함께 다리 아래를 페인팅 할 수도 없다. 그래서 나는 기본으로 돌아와야 했다. 단순 히 펜과 종이로, 매일 지역 공립 학교에서 영어를 가르치 고 집에 와서 작은 부엌상 위의 스케치북에 대고 마음 속 에 있는 어떤 일본적인 것부터 시작해보았다. 아마 오래 된 역사책의 그림 같은 걸 참고했었다. 그 것은 2012년 에 펴낸 나의 첫번째 책, Japan 365: A Drawing-ADay Project으로 탄생된 단순하며 명상적인 작업 아이 디어 였다.

More philosophically then, regarding content and working habits as an artist, I found that in Korea, my work reflected my life and health. From a young, energetic standpoint as a first-time expat 23 years young, painting big and bright images at popular festivals all around Seoul in the summer, to a near-death encounter with pneumonia and images of cold, skulls, and other dark and brooding content in the heart of winter. Conversely, Japan proved to be a much quieter existence for me during my tenure there by the sea, a healthy one that allowed me the mental and physical space and time to develop my ideas relatively unencumbered by health issues, noise pollution, neon norae-bbang lights and the like, as was always a challenge for me in Korea. 그 때부터 더 철학적으로, 미술가로써의 내용과 작업 습관 을 고려했을 때 한국에서 내 삶과 건강을 반영한 일을 찾 았다. 여름에 서울 전역의 유명 페스티벌에서 크고 밝은 그림을 그리는 23살의 외국인 젊은이로써의 젊고 에너지 넘치는 관점에서 겨울 한가운데에서 천식으로 인한 죽음 에 가까운 대면과 차가움, 해골, 다른 어둡고 음울한 내용

You took a different approach than most to get funding for your book. Can you talk a little bit about your experience with www.indiegogo.com and how it helped springboard your idea? If you hadn't had any funding, would you have gone through with the project anyway?

For my first book Japan 365 and for my new book Life Is Sweet, I chose to crowd fund in order to cover publishing and printing costs for a small first run. Indiegogo, like Kickstarter and all the other crowd funding platforms popping up now, is basically just a smooth way to interface with all your networks at once, in a way that lets your immediate friends and contacts, spread your message or project just as easily, in the hopes that is keeps going further and further to the second and third and fourth degrees of relation to yourself, going viral, as the lingo goes, and thus increasing your fan-base and pre-sales, essentially. 당신은 책을 펴내기 위한 자금을 모으기 위해 대부분의 사람들과는 다른 방법을 사용했다. www.indiegogo. com 에 대한 경험을 조금 이야기해 줄 수 있는가? 만 약 자금을 모으지 못 했다면 어떻게든 이 프로젝트를 해 냈을 수 있었을까? 나의 첫번째 책이었던 Japan365와 새로운 책인 “Life is Sweet”의 경우, 처음 작게 시작을 하려고 출판 및 인 쇄 비용을 해결하기 위해서 크라우드 펀드를 선택했다.

Indiegogo는 현재 우후죽순으로 생겨나는 Kickstarter 와 다른 모든 크라우드 펀딩 플랫폼처럼 기본적으로 모 든 당신의 네트워크에 즉시 접근할 수 있는 순조로운 방 법이다. 뜻을 나눌 수 있는 사람들과 어떤 연락들이 바로 올 것을 기대할 수도 있고, 그러면서 당신의 의도나 프로 젝트를 널리 알릴 수도 있고, 그러면서 당신과 관련된 사 람들의 범위를 점점 더 넓혀나가고 말이 퍼지듯이 입소 문이 나고 그럼으로 해서 결국에 근본적으로 팬층과 예 약판매를 늘릴 수 있기를 기대할 수도 있다.

a big motivator for me and many of the people who funded my project as well. And we were able to give $800, not too shabby, certainly a greater amount than any one of us could reasonably make. indiegogo와 관련된 개인적인 경험은 굉장히 좋았다. 사실 두 권의 책을 발간했던 두 번의 시도 모두 목표로 한 자금 을 성공적으로 모았기 때문이다. indiegogo를 선택한 이유 는 목표로 한 금액을 달성하지 못 하더라도 계속 모금을 할 수 있도록 해서였다. 그 것이 바로 도박사 기질이 있는 사람 들에게 더 알맞은 Kickstarter와 가장 큰 차이점이다. 또한 indiegogo가 이유에 근거해서 모금을 하는 데에 치중한다 면 반면에 Kickstarter는 기술/생산자들에게 크게 치중하는 편이다. 나는 지난 311 지진 이후 일본을 위한 성금을 마련 하기 위해 여분의 금액을 모금받을 수 있기를 바랐다. 그 것 이 나와 내 프로젝트의 자금을 대 줬던 많은 사람들에게 큰 동기가 되었다. 그래서 우리는 너무 터무니 없진 않게 800 달러를 기부할 수 있었고, 우리 중 누군가가 합리적으로 만 들어낼 수 있는 금액보다 훨씬 많은 금액이었다.

I reckon without the funding I was able to raise for making these books, I would have had to pursue a more traditional route, finding an agent, who then finds you a publisher, who then chops up and changes your content and takes half your -continued on p32-

My personal experience with indiegogo was great, since I did in fact successfully raise my funding goal both times for both books. I chose indiegogo since they let you keep funds even if you don't reach your goal. That is the big difference between them and Kickstarter, which is more for the gambler. Kickstarter also seems to lean heavily on the tech/maker movement, whereas indiegogo is heavier on cause-based fundraising. I wanted to raise extra and give money to charity for Japan after 3/11, so that was

Besides, I live fairly hand-to-mouth as a semi-nomadic artist who escapades as a teacher, cook, migrant farm laborer, etc. when necessary to keep the travel alive. I would not have had the time to sit around and pitch agents all day with all with their nit-picky requests, or sift through the publishing houses cryptic websites to find the right person to e-mail my manuscript and pictures to. What I have learned thus far of the current system, is that it makes it all but impossible for the working author to get published for the first time, in an uncomfortably elitist, exclusionist kind of way. Not that I am jaded or anything, though. On the contrary, that is what makes self-publishing like this so exciting for me and my friends. To be able to do what the big publishing houses don't want you to do. That is slowly break down their iron fisted grip on the entire industry of publishing by taking out the money grubbing middleman. And getting your work in the hands of those who will appreciate it most, giving them a hand in creation, involving them in the process, thanking them in the liner notes, and doing this all without having to focus on the business side of things and trying to forge a

Waking every morning before sunrise with swollen hands and sore feet, dreading the rain and snakes, wondering how, and why, I got myself in this predicament, a tireless schedule felling 2 tons of sugarcane every day.

Though if you are physically and mentally able to toil long hours in often frustrating conditions and brave monotony with a level head, I would recommend trying it or something like it for a stint, to at least gain deeper appreciation for where our everyday ingredients come from before they hit store shelves in pretty packaging ready for consumption.

당신은 직접 손으로 수확하는 사탕수수 농장의 일 꾼으로 3개월 정도 생활해보았다. 사탕수수라는 생 산품에 의지해서 살아가는 사람들에 대해 배운 최 고로 꼽는 점은 무엇인가? 이시가키 섬의 사탕수수 밭에서 일을 하는 동안 내 가 추천한다고 말하지 못하는 그런 생활방식을 경 험했다. 매일 해가 뜨기 전에 손은 붓고 발은 쓰라 린 채로 걷고, 비와 뱀을 두려워하며 내가 왜, 어떻 게 해서 이러한 곤경에, 매일 2톤의 사탕 수수를 베 어내야 하는 지치지 않는 스케쥴에 스스로를 집어 넣었는지에 대해 고민했다. 하지만 만약 당신이 종 종 좌절스러운 상태와 공정하고 냉정한 상태로 단 조롭기 그지 없는 상태에 대해 용감하게 대처하고, 육체적으로 정신적으로 장시간 동안 고된 일을 할 수 있다면, 이런 것이나 일정 기간의 일을 해보라고 추천하고 싶다. 적어도 소비를 위해 예쁘게 포장된 상품으로 가득한 상점 진열대를 휩쓸기 전에 우리 가 매일 사용하는 식재료가 어디서 오는 지에 대해 깊은 감사를 배울 수 있으니 말이다.

The people who work in this industry are completely reliant on a complex system of supply and demand, along with seemingly arbitrary determinants of cost.

What that means is, the local factory gives farmers a number, forty dollars per ton for example, and the farmers have to take it or leave it, bringing in their cut cane by the truckload to be weighed and paid out, simple as that. Though on a small island like Ishigaki, not taking the factory's offer is not really an option. And the seasonal jobs that come during harvest for three or four months are highly sought after, with factories working round the clock, field hands piling as much cane as they can in the daylight hours, 12-ton dump trucks barreling down tiny roads toward pay dirt at the factory. The flip-side of that coin though is that when the season ends, so do lots of jobs, transforming the modern work infrastructure per the demands of large corporations sugar-buying power, and in effect taking the power from the local people to engage in sustainable traditional lifestyles without the income from alien entities dragooning them into submission, and turning once diverse fields into blanket cash crops, depleting the soil and destroying diversity for the short term gain.

I told you it was complex. 이런 산업에서 일하는 사람들은 완전히 수요와 공 급의 복합 시스템에 의지하고 있다. 겉으로 보기에 는 가격의 제멋대로인 결정 요인에 따라서 말이다. 그 것이 의미하는 바는 농부에게 지역의 공장이 수 -continued on p34-

The content for your book of course will be the greatest hurdle. For me, as if getting 365 high-quality pictures drawn in a year was not hard enough, I then had to round up a solid and reliable team of translators, bilingual friends who could help me not only edit the English, but translate into Japanese, proof and edit that as well.

Once the content was complete, and a PDF created, you simply upload your interior and cover files, make some choices regarding what kind of International Standard Book Number you want to use, paper type, trim size, and other printing logistics that you will decide on depending on your project.

량을 지정해주고, 예를 들어 1톤당 40달러라고 하면, 농부 는 그것을 받아들이거나 포기해야 하고, 무게를 재기 위해 베어놓은 수수를 트럭에 실어 가져오고, 돈을 받고 그렇게 단순하다. 하지만 이시가키와 같은 작은 섬에서 공장의 제 안을 받아들이지 않는 것은 선택사항이 아니다. 3~4개월 동안의 수확기간 동안에만 있는 이 일은 매우 많이들 찾는 다. 끊임없는 공장의 일과 더불어 낮시간 동안 가능한 한 많은 사탕수수수를 수확하는 노동력, 공장에 있는 노다지 를 향해 있는 작은 길로 들이 닥치는12톤 덤프 트럭. 하지 만 동전의 이면은 수확기가 끝나고 나서이다. 다른 많은 일 들처럼 대형 회사가 가진 설탕 매입 권력의 요구마다 행해 지는 현대적 노동 인프라를 바꾸는 일이다. 그리고 사실상 외부인에게서 나오는 수입 없이 지속적이고 전통적인 삶의 양식에 관련되어 있는 지역주민에게서 권력을 빼앗아 가는 것은 주민들이 강제적으로 복종하도록 명분을 주는 것이 며, 한 번 단일 작물 재배에서 단일 환금 작물 재배로 바꿔 버리면 토양이 대폭 감소되고 단기간 동안 얻을 수 있는 다 양성을 파괴하는 것이다. 내가 말했지 않은가. 복잡하다고.

The biggest challenges for me with Life Is Sweet were not really the physical labor or language barrier, because by this time I had been in Japan nearly three years and was adept at the language to a point more than comfortable in everyday conversation. The farmer whose fields I worked for the most part still could not help himself laughing every time we met, maybe because he just couldn't believe a tall, dorky American was cutting all his cane, or maybe I constantly had a booger. Regardless, his local dialect was sometimes hard to understand being so different from mainland Japanese language, but he did his best to meet me halfway and would often just bark words at me in the

“Life is Sweet”를 펴내는 동안의 가장 큰 노력은 일을 하 는 것이라든지 언어적인 장벽은 아니었다. 왜냐하면 지금 까지 일본에 거의 3년 동안 살았고 일상적인 회화 이상의 수준의 일본어를 말할 수 있기 때문이다. 내가 대부분의 일 을 했던 밭의 주인인 농부 아저씨는 여전히 우리가 만날 때 마다 웃음을 감추지 못 한다. 아마도 이 키가 크고 얼간이 기질이 있는 미국인이 사탕수수를 다 베어버린 것을 아직 도 믿지 못 하거나 아니면 내게 자꾸 눈꼽이 껴서 그런 것 같다. 그럼에도 불구하고 그의 사투리는 일본 본토의 일본 어와는 정말 달라서 가끔씩 알아 듣기가 힘들다. 하지만 나 와 소통을 하기 위해 최선을 다하고, 종종 밭에서 그냥 막 큰소리로 나에게 말을 하고 큰 소리로 되풀이 해서 내가 아 저씨의 의도를 확실히 알아채게끔 해주신다. 나쁜 의미는 아니고 아저씨의 그런 단순함이 고마웠다. 나중에 아저씨 의 가족과 저녁을 먹으면서 알게 된 것인데 아저씨는 그냥 누구에게나 그렇게 말을 하신다.

I would recommend the self-publishing route via crowd funding to anyone with a passion and idea. Just remember you need to put in the time and hard work to see it through, because as soon as people give you a down payment on your product, you have to pull through. So perhaps even more so than with traditional publishing, the logistics, design, decision-making, pricing, distribution planning and more is entirely up to you. Summed up in one of the morals of the story in Life Is Sweet is that same idea, "Because if you don't do it yourself, then who will?" 열정과 아이디어가 있는 사람들에게는 크라우드 펀딩을 통해 셀프 출간을 하는 방법을 추천한다. 대신 시간과 많 은 노력을 들여 끝까지 그 일을 해내야 하는 것을 명심해 라. 왜냐하면 사람들이 당신의 생산품에 대해 착수금을 주 는 순간부터 당신은 모든 역경을 헤쳐나가야 하기 때문이 다. 그래서 아마도 전통적인 출판방법보다 더 유통, 디자 인, 의사결정, 가격 책정, 배급 계획 등이 완전히 당신의 결 정에 달려 있다. ‘Life is Sweet’의 이야기에 있는 한가지 덕목으로 요약하면 같은 말이 된다. “왜냐하면 네가 스스 로 하지 않는다면 도대체 누가 해?”

Low-Cost, High Quality Medical Service The Future of Daegu’s Medical Tourism Written by Jinsil Noh/ Translated by Stephanie Yang

“Daegu has many outstanding medical institutions and a skilled workforce, but it lacks accessibility.

Despite its unfavorable location; however, Daegu continues to attract many medical tourists with its low-cost, high-quality service.”

Daegu’s medical tourism industry definitely has strengths and weaknesses. It is time that Daegu actively promotes the industry’s strong points and makes up for its shortcomings.

An effort to diversify medical tourism Just a few years ago, American soldiers and their families constituted the majority of Daegu’s foreign patient population. According to the 2011 statistics, 55% of Daegu’s foreign patients identified themselves as U.S. citizens.

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

Daegu city is left with a mission to make its medical tourism more influential worldwide so that patients from other countries will voluntarily seek Daegu for treatment.

Daegu has switched from targeting its promotion at a specific country into conducting a more aggressive marketing. The increase in the number of Chinese medical tourists, who are considered to be the “big players” in world’s future medical tourism, is especially notable.

According to the Daegu City Council and Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology, the number of Chinese medical tourists sharply increased from

Healthy Living - Low-Cost, High Quality Medical Service

http://daegucompass.com

97 to 650 in 2011 and again to 894 last year. The number of American patients last year decreased to 45.8% of Daegu’s total foreign patient population, while Chinese patients totaled 12.6%. China is geographically close to Korea and experiencing a rapid economic growth, which has become an important country in the medical tourism market as well as Daegu’s main target.

The number of foreign patients from other Asian countries such as Vietnam, Philippines, Pakistan and Sri Lanka has also increased over the past years. Daegu’s medical tourism currently exhibits a strong potential by expanding its domain not only into America and Northeast/Southeast Asia, but also into Central Asia and Europe. Keimyung University’s Dongsan Medical Center is especially making the most active effort to recruit patients from Russia and Kazakhstan.

Bennigan’s, Same Great Taste that Won’t Break Your Bank!

Dongsan Medical Center’s total Russian patient population this year constitutes 54% of its total patient population. The patients come for different purposes, ranging from simple health check-ups to cancer surgeries. The “Medi-City Daegu’s Medical Tourism Information Center” which opened its doors last October in Almaty, Kazakhstan, is acting as the mediator to help Daegu recruit patients from Central Asia and Russia.

Mr. Choi Woon-Baek, the Director of Daegu HighTech Medical Equipment Industry, has said, “[Daegu] will continue to recruit patients from different countries by working with the High-Tech Medical Equipment Industrial Complex and Suseong Medical Complex in conducting more active overseas marketing and tours.”

Medical Tourism coupled with MICE The integration of medical tourism and MICE industry is opening a new avenue for medical tourist recruitment. MICE is a new phrase coined from “Meeting,” “Incentive Travel,” “Convention,” and “Exhibition,” and indicates large-scale medical tourism.

This means that the city can vitalize its medical tourism industry through co-marketing with tourism/large-scale meeting/exhibition-related organizations. Last year in October, EXCO, Korea National Tourism Organization, and Daegu Council of Development for Medical Tourism signed a contract on business cooperation to promote medical tourism in Daegu. The three organizations have focused on integrating MICE into development of tour packages, and carrying out collaborative marketing.

An aspect that has made the most active progress is running “information/experience stores.” Daegu International Textile Fair was held in March; visitors experienced stores from Daegu’s medical tourism department. Visitors received simple medical check-ups at the stores. These stores were part of the promotion strategy to expand Daegu’s “Medi-City” image.

The city is already beginning to see some tangible results. From last month, 357 foreigners from 85 countries who participated in the Daegu World Energy Conference received medical check-ups at the experience stores. 27 foreigners have received actual treatments from Daegu’s seven dermatology, ophthalmology and dentist clinics.

posium, has said that his insomnia underwent a fast recovery after he received a treatment from Daegu’s medical tourism information center. He promised that he would definitely go on a medical tour during his next visit to Daegu.

Eight Malaysian and Indonesian patients who visited Daegu this March in order to participate in the International Textile Fair embarked on a shopping tour after receiving an oriental skin therapy at Daegu’s oriental medical clinic. Satisfied with the service, they promised that they would actively advertise Daegu’s medical tourism upon returning to their homeland.

Expanding Flights and Accommodations Medical tourism is literally a combination of “medical treatment” and “tourism.” It is imperative that the two concepts balance each other well.

Yet, Daegu continues to receive comments that it has insufficient number of flights and accommodations. As of now, the only international flight available at Daegu’s International Airport is the route to China. Only two flights are scheduled each day to go to Incheon International Airport. Compared to Seoul and Busan, which can cover a multitude of international flights, Daegu is at an extreme disadvantage. Moreover, Daegu’s airport lacks a low-cost airline company. It is rumored that starting

http://daegucompass.com

next year in March, a low-cost airport agency will be flying between Daegu and Jeju, but whether there will be another international flight remains uncertain.

Unlike those tourists who come for cosmetics/ medical purposes, foreigners who visit Korea to receive treatment on major illnesses are compelled to feel burdened by the long-distance bus rides from Incheon and Gimhae to Daegu. Even in terms of costs, this method is very uneconomical.

The city government and local medical community agree that it is essential that Daegu International Airport accommodates more international flights and low-cost flight agencies. Another point of weakness is that the city lacks international level, five-star hotels for VIPs and that motels make up the majority of Daegu’s accommodations.

MEMORIES ENJOY POUR YOUR OWN

One Chinese medical tourist who stayed at Daegu’s high-class hotel this summer has actually complained that the hotel’s old accommodations were markedly below expectations. Mr. Lee Guho, the Head of Foreign Economic Cooperation at Dongsan Medical Center, has advised, “While Daegu has a relatively low medical expense and price level, it lacks accommodations where patients can stay during their treatments. The city should prioritize differentiating its service from other regions by providing accommodations where patients can conveniently stay in the long-term.”

People of the Gu! Daegu's Newest Fashion Photographer Introduction by the Compass / Photos and captions by Antwon Maxwell

This year at the Compass, we plan on profiling people around the community who are pursuing their dreams.

We think that the Compass is a great way to help promote people whose dream is to be a journalist, photographer, graphic designer or illustrator to the Daegu community. Hopefully, the Compass can be a platform to jump start new careers and passions. If you'd like to be involved and share your talent, please email info@ daegucompass.com. Thanks Daegu! We have the pleasure of bringing you our first of many artists, Antwon Maxwell.

In December 2013, Antwon Maxwell relocated from Washington D.C. to South Korea to work as an IT Specialist for the US Army. Antwon has an associate’s degree in Computing Network Systems and a passion for computers but has found a new love in photography.

As Antwon’s interest in photography grew, he became obsessed with refining and improving his photographic technique and post-editing skills. He took a photography class, read photography magazines and books, and watched hours of photography videos. In 2012, Antwon started Dezignsbyma Photography and began to build his portfolio by doing photo shoots for anyone who was willing to get in front of his camera. This allowed Ant42

won to practice all of the things he had learned, refine his skills, and develop a unique style of his own. Antwon Maxwell's photographs are clean and captivating, and the word has gotten out fast. Now, Antwon has male and female clients who come from all over the Korean peninsula to get their pictures taken by him. Antwon is currently based out of Daegu, but can also be found traveling throughout South Korea photographing women, men and couples in studio or on location.

What do you love about photography?

How has it changed your life?

I love photographing ordinary people and showing their true beauty through my lens. My biggest reward is when someone comes to me thinking they aren't good enough, pretty enough, slim enough, or tall enough and I am able to make that person feel like a million bucks through my pictures. Once the client is in front of my camera, I want them to feel like they have my full attention and my only goal is to make them look and feel beautiful. I enjoy photographing a broad spectrum of people, from professional models and ballerinas to teachers and computer technicians; I believe everyone is capable of looking great and having fun in front of the camera. I find myself shooting more studio photogra-

What do you use for inspiration? Who are some of your favorite photographers to follow?

I find inspiration in many places including fashion magazines, pictures I find online, even billboard and bus ads. I admire the works of famous head shot photographer Peter Hurley and am being mentored by professional photographer James Anthony who travels across the United States photographing celebrities and models. Though I do frequently conduct on-location shoots, most of my work is shot in studio.

Lighting is very important, and I like the versatility I get from having full control of the lighting in studio. I like my pictures to evoke an emotion. Shooting in studio allows me to control the placement of shadows and highlights to convey the emotion and mood I want.

Studio photography also allows me to be more creative in post-editing. I find myself immersing myself in countless hours of photography videos, reading photography and fashion magazines, and retouching my photographs. It is truly a labor of love.

Picasso De Malaga Picasso Absoluto Scenes of Love and Happiness

This year, Daegu's EXCO center is lucky enough to host Picasso De Malaga Picasso Absoluto, an exhibition which encapsulates the life and career of renowned Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.

The show covers the entirety of Picasso's work which ranged from his portraits of women, to studies of nudes and more mythical pieces inspired by poetry.

Walking through the show is a reminder of how much he accomplished in his lifetime as he was constantly experimenting with different styles and mediums while managing to master each one. Each piece is stunning to look at as even the most simple of sketches reveal carefully thought out lines and forms, each mark on the page is no accident. While some pieces are more simplistic than others, each holds its own and gives a glimpse into how Picasso viewed the world.

전시회는 여성들의 초상화에서부터 누드화 그리고 시로 부터 영감을 받은 신화적인 작품까지, 피카소의 전 작품 을 보여준다. 전시회를 돌아보노라면 그가 일생 동안 다 양한 수단과 스타일을 마스터해내면서 꾸준하게 그것들 을 실험해오며 얼마만큼의 성취를 이뤄냈는지를 상기시 켜준다. 각각의 작품은 바라보기에 빛이 나고 가장 단순 한 스케치 작품조차 여러모로 심사숙고해서 그린 윤곽선 과 형태를 조심스럽게 드러낸다. 페이지에 있는 얼룩도 결코 실수가 아니었다. 몇 작품이 다른 것보다 더 지나치 게 단순하긴 하지만 각각의 작품은 작품만의 시선과 피 카소가 어떻게 세상을 바라봤는지를 슬쩍 들여다보게 해 준다.

The works also give us a glimpse into the artist’s personal relationships, particularly with the many women who featured in his life. Regardless of if she was a mistress or a wife, these women seem to have been important to Picasso at some point as each one comes up a number of times throughout the show. The different women also reflect what style he was working in at that point in time. The bright happy works from Picasso's early career are mostly of his mistress at the time, Fernande Olivier. The cheeriness of the scenes reflect the love and happiness he had for this woman.

He ended up painting over 60 portraits of her. When his style moved into a more Cubist one, he had left Olivier for Marcelle Humbert and declared his love for her in many of his works during this period. 또한 작품은 우리에게 작가 개인이 갖고 있는 사람들과의 관계, 특히 그의 인생에 나타난 많은 여인들과의 관계를 들여다보게 해준다. 그녀가 정부였든 아내였든지 간에, 이 여인들은 어떤 순간에 있어서 피카소에게 중요했던 존 재로 보이며 전시회의 작품에서 각각 몇 번이나 반복해서 나타난다. 피카소의 초기 작품 중 밝고 행복한 분위기의 작품은 주로 그 당시의 정부였던 페르난데 올리비에에 관 한 것이었다. 장면의 활기는 그가 이 여인에 대해 가지고 있던 사랑과 행복을 반영하며, 피카소는 60장 넘게 그녀 의 초상화를 그렸다. 그의 화풍이 더 입체파적으로 변해 갔을 때는 마르셀 훔버트(역주:에바 구엘)를 만나기 위해 올리비에를 떠났고, 이 시기 동안 많은 작품에서 그녀에 대한 사랑을 표현했다.

completely unique as the vivid lines and forms change drastically from frame to frame. It is only on closer view that you realize each work is the same in content, but differs in execution. By altering forms and the use of lines, Picasso shows us how the same image can be changed and viewed in many different ways. He reminds us that art and the world is always open to interpretation and there is no one set way of looking at it. 비록 몇몇 작품에서 정확히 똑같은 장면, 물체 혹은 모델 이 반복되지만 각각 확연하게 달라 보인다. 처음 봤을 때, 강렬한 선과 형태가 작품마다 확연하게 바뀌어서 이 작품 들 모두가 완전히 독특하게 보인다. 가까이 다가가서야 각 작품이 내용에 있어서 똑같다는 것을 알아차릴 수 있지만 그리는 방법은 달랐다. 형태와 선의 쓰임새를 달리함으로 써 피카소는 우리에게 똑같은 이미지가 다양한 방법을 통 해 어떻게 바뀌어 지고 보여지게 되는 지 알려준다. 또한 미술과 세상은 항상 해석에 대해 열려 있으며 바라보는 방 법에는 꼭 정해진 바가 없다는 것을 일깨워준다.

What separates this exhibition from others is the way in which the artist’s life is told through photographs incorporated into the shows layout. There are sections 46

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

dedicated to beautiful images of Picasso at home with his friends, in his studio, with his wife and in simple solitary reflection. We are also given a glimpse of the city in which he spent a majority of his life through stunning before and after shots of various locations. A number of the photographs were taken on 8 April 1973, at his home in Mougins, France where he is shown surrounded by friends and his wife laughing and enjoying life.

These images have an eerie feel as Picasso died later that night with the final words, "Drink to me, drink to my health, you know I can't drink anymore." The show is so much more than walking through a gallery filled with paintings and leaves you with a satisfied feeling of completion. The personal photographs and wide range of paintings allows us to have a deeper connection to the works as we can see the women who inspired many of his portraits, and the artist who, despite his universal success, seemed rather humbled by his career. 이 전시회가 다른 전시회와 다른 점은 전시회의 작품 배 치에 포함된 사진을 통해 작가의 삶을 이야기한다는 것이 다. 그의 친구들과 집에서, 그의 작업실에서, 그의 아내와 함께 그리고 단순한 혼자 있는 피카소의 모습을 담은 아름

다운 사진들만 전시해 놓은 섹션들이 있다. 또한 다양한 장소의 아름다운 이전과 이후의 사진을 통해 피카소가 그 의 생애 대부분을 보낸 도시도 슬쩍 엿볼 수 있는 기회가 우리에게 주어졌다. 몇몇 사진은 1973년 4월 9일 프랑스 모긴에 있는 그의 자택에서 찍혔으며 친구들과 아내에게 둘러싸여 웃으며 삶을 즐기고 있는 모습이었다. 이 사진들 은 피카소가 그 날 저녁에 “나를 위해 건배하라, 나의 건강 을 위해 건배하라, 알다시피 나는 더 이상 마시지 못 하니 말이다”라는 마지막 말과 함께 죽었기에 으스스한 느낌을 준다. 전시회는 단순히 그림이 가득한 갤러리를 걸어 다 니는 것 이상이었으며 당신에게 완벽이라는 만족스러운 느낌을 안겨준다. 우리가 많은 피카소의 초상화에 영감을 준 여인들과 전세계적인 성공에도 불구하고 그의 커리어 에 의해 오히려 겸손하게 보이는 그 작가를 볼 수 있었기 에 피카소의 개인적인 사진들과 넓은 범위의 회화작품들 은 우리에게 작품들과 의 더 깊은 유대를 선사해주었다.

Black History Month in Daegu Bringing some Diversity and Culture to the City Written by Jet Cessant

From the spirited African dancers in Rain’s music video for his hit track, “LA Song,” to the hip-hop clothing boutiques that line the streets of Hongdae in Seoul, African-American or black influence can be seen all over Korea. Unfortunately though, Korean media continues to be laden with stereotypes of African Americans, and sometimes its socalled “influence” from black culture acts as a façade for cultural appropriation. “Korean media tends to promote blacks as mostly rappers, thugs, and hip-hop artists when in actuality, there is a lot of diversity in our history and culture. Just as Koreans are more than K-pop and kimchi, Black Americans are more than gangsters, the Caribbean is more than just Bob Marley, and Africa is more than poverty,” comments Kellea Floyd, an English Teacher in Daegu. While Korea’s misunderstanding of cultural differences can be attributed to its reputation as one of the most homogenous countries in the world, the recent influx of immigrants and expatriates is slowly diversifying the population.

In contrast with Korea, the United States is known as a melting pot of diversity and culture. Across the country, many different racial and ethnic groups often celebrate their heritage during certain times of the year. For example, the month of February is known as Black History Month. Black History Month is an annual observance that remembers African-American icons and leaders, significant events in history, and 48

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

Daegu Community - Black History Month in Daegu

http://daegucompass.com

culture. The month is marked by festivals, concerts, and television programs around the United States that celebrate African-American history and cultural heritage while raising awareness to current issues in the black community. While Black History Month has traditionally been celebrated mainly in the United States, a group of native English teachers in Korea are about to change that. This year, for the first time in Daegu, a Black History Month Festival will be held. The festival will occur on February 22, 2014 and will be sponsored by the United States Embassy and The Korean Adolescent Mentoring Program.

The festival will consist of three segments. The first will be a movie screening of the movie, “The Butler,” in the Daegu American Corner in the Jungang Library. Following the movie, participants will reflect and discuss key events presented in the movie and engage in an interactive discussion on the black experience in the United States as well as issues for people of color in Korea. The second segment will be a cultural festival in downtown Daegu at the stage in front of Daegu Department Store.

Performers from all over Korea will showcase a variety

of talents that are rooted in black culture. The lineup includes African dance, stepping, dancehall, R&B, gospel, spoken word, and much more. The festivities for the day will conclude at Rock N’ Tacos where attendees will be able to network and talk about the day’s events.

Takira Lytle, co-chair of the Black History Month Festival, hopes that the event will help to educate Koreans about African-Americans and eliminate negative stereotypes that they may have. “I think that as more black people and other minorities from other countries come into Korea, over time a clearer picture can develop” she says. The festival has already generated a lot of buzz.

Korean-American rapper and singer Yoon Mirae, who was born to an African-American father, has expressed a strong interest in attending the celebration.

The event is free and open to anyone. Members of the community are also encouraged to perform if they have a relevant talent. If you are interested in performing or would like more information, please visit the event website at www.daegubhm.splashthat.com.

Film Fans Unite!

Film Posee @ Communes!

Written by Jarrod Clegg

Hey Film Fans!

Do you love watching movies? Miss watching them with your friends in a fun, relaxed, social atmosphere?

Why not join us at the Daegu Film Posse @ Communes!

The DFP@C is a friendly gathering of Koreans and expats who love nothing more than hanging out, having a few beers, and watching movies. And by movies, we don't mean big blockbusters anybody can see on TV. Here at the DFP@C, we specialize in those movies you've been meaning to see, but never got around to.

Under-the-radar flicks are our forte.

Our humble group began over 3 years ago with Steve Mayeux and Rob Yates. Hyun Shik, the proprietor of Communes: Lonely Hearts Bar in downtown Daegu, loves films and happily projects them onto his wall with excellent surround-sound.

Ever watch an obscure movie that was either great, or 52

DAEGU COMPASS 2014.FEBRUARY

terribly great? Suggest it on our Facebook page and it just might be the next one we show!

Our film nights run every other Monday and begin around 10:30pm. We typically have a warm-up intro with movie facts and drinking games to increase the cinema feel.

Our next showings will be "Cheats" on Feb. 3rd; a true story about a group of teens who cheat their way through high school.

Then, on Feb. 17th, we'll be proudly showing "The Big Lebowski". If you haven't seen it, the Dude requires your attendance.

Come one. Come all. Everyone is welcome at the Daegu Film Posse @ Communes and it costs you nothing... minus drinks.

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.

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.
