That's a Monster Pie! New Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza in Daegu Written and photographed by Lindsay Mickles
Several friends and I decided to head downtown and try out the new pizza place: Chicago & Monster Pizza & Pub. It is located directly above Thursday Burger and was very easy to find! Before I review the restaurant, I would first like to say that I am a pizza lover. I like all styles of pizza and a variety of toppings. As far as Chicago-style pizza is concerned…though I am not a Chicago native, I’ve been to Giordano’s several times and will use it as my basis for comparison for all pizza joints claiming to be Chicago-style. 8
DAEGU COMPASS 2015.FEBRUARY
First things first…. the ambiance. This place has a lovely interior. Very new, very clean lines and you can tell the owner paid close attention to making this place feel warm, welcoming and modern on the inside. The staff that seated us were quite friendly and promptly brought us a menu, along with some water, cheese balls and bowl of pickles and pickled jalapeños (which we all thoroughly enjoyed). We perused the menu while waiting for the rest of our party to join us. We noticed that there were a few pizza options, some salad and a few

sides that we could choose from—that made ordering fairly simple. None of us were in the mood for anything to drink other than water, though their drink menu was fairly extensive! Once the rest of our party joined us, we quickly decided to order the 12” Original (hoping it was cheese), the 8” Bulgogi and the Monster Glacier Salad. The Monster Glacier Salad was quite good, and the gorgonzola-ranch dressing was a nice addition to the lettuces, tomatoes, almonds, carrots, sweet potato mash, croutons and salmon. Though the salad was a bit pricy, it was large enough to split among 6 people. The pizzas were beautiful, but they weren't perfect. The Original Pizza had an absolute ton of cheese (and was cheese only like we hoped) and a good solid sauce. The powdered sugar on top of the pizza really took away from the overall flavor. The Bulgogi pizza also was blessed with a ton of yummy cheese, but the sauce needed a bit of work… less sugar and more seasoning. But, the biggest issue we had with the pizzas was the crust. The restaurant uses parchment paper to cover 10
DAEGU COMPASS 2015.FEBRUARY
the cast iron pizza pans, which caused the crust to be very very doughy and underdone in some spots. The pizza completely fell apart once it was cut. This was our largest complaint. Please do away with the parchment paper so we can get a nice crust all the way around! Our bill was approximately 65k won. It wasn’t too bad split between 6 people, but could potentially be pricy for a date-night. I wouldn’t really say this was true Chicago-pizza, more of a Korean homage to the style. Though I would not go out of my way to eat here again, I would be willing to give it a second chance if a group of friends wanted to go. I’m just hoping the kitchen had an ‘off day’. The good stuff: ambiance, presentation of the food, the salad, the amount of cheese, the pickles, the sauce on the Original Pizza What could use some work: pizza crust, pizza texture, powdered sugar (toss this one out), less sugar overall, more salt and seasonings

The Bling, Bling Story Pamper Yourself With American Style Pedicure Written and photographed by Alex A-che
As soon as you step foot into My Bling Story, it feels cozy and neat. A beautiful array of colors is the first thing you notice, as nail polish bottles neatly line the walls and the bright happy colors of cushions and Bratz dolls greet you as you come in. The first thing you notice is that the staff is really friendly. With each person that comes in, the group of them call out a personal greeting, making one think that this place is a second home for some people. Only a year old, this new location conveniently sits right outside the Camp George entrance. May, a pink-haired woman with a sweet smile greets me, welcoming me to her shop and asking me what I 12
DAEGU COMPASS 2015.FEBRUARY
need. I feel very pampered; the piping hot citron tea that I am served is more than appreciated as my cheeks are still warming up from the outside cold. May tells me she has had this place for two years - that this business she has started, with workers who study English together every Wednesday and attend nail art workshops on the weekends, came from a simple observation her husband made a few years back. Married to an American contractor working for the military, May started attending beauty school after her husband encouraged her to build herself a trade. Even though she majored in computer science, her passion was nail design. She graduated, practiced and worked in salons near Camp Walker

for about 5 years and then decided to open up her own shop. Two years in, she has a lot of regulars who enjoy coming in and being cared for. May even sells her own products online to other nail shops. About 90% of her customers are military, and this has changed the way May does business. Her customers are a variety of races and thus her makeup artist is ready for any kind of person who comes in looking for a special look, whether for a military ball or a birthday party. Race seems to even play a role when doing a customer’s nails. She found that usually Koreans needed either one of two different gel base coats that would work for their nails. As for foreigners, May only has to point to a section on the wall for me to notice more than 14
DAEGU COMPASS 2015.FEBRUARY
15 bottles of gel base coat lining the walls. She tells me that every time they find a match for their customers, they input it into the computer to keep track of what works and what doesn’t. Now that is some personalized service. Initially, May was surprised to realize that all of her American customers only used acrylic. They had never used gel before. According to May, acrylic simply does not own up to the superiority of using gel. Gel lasts longer, about 3 or 4 weeks, is naturally shiny and is healthier for the nails. Gel allows for your nails to “breathe” easier. Acrylic lasts about only 2 weeks and makes it harder for the nails to “breathe”, eventually thinning the nails after long use. I had done acrylic a variety of times when I
Special Reports - The Bling, Bling Story
http://daegucompass.com
was younger, and had experienced the nail thinning, so taking May’s advice, I opted to do gel. Anne, the manager of the salon, started on my nails, taking great details with the nail care and eventual gel process. She had to gel my nails of few times, putting my hands in the UV light and watching it quickly harden. One thing about get that I immediately liked was the fact that it didn't leave a toxic dust of leftover debris. It seemed a healthier choice for the workers themselves, as constant use of acrylic must be hard on their respiratory system. Like with acrylic, gel nails should be taken off at a salon as trying to take it off yourself may be unhealthy for your nails. If you are a regular nail salon goer, you may have noticed that in Korea a pedicure is not the same as the pedicures you may have gotten back home. In the United States for instance, a pedicure is a packaged deal. It includes nail care, callus care, a massage, and color. However, in Korea these four things are separated and will end up costing you about 100,000 won if you choose to do all four. However, My Bling Story uses the American price system and adheres -continued on p16-
15
to the American style of the pedicure, giving customers a lemon antioxidant antiseptic wash and massage with the cuticle and callus care. They use a special pedicure drill to fully buff the feet, and maintain that clean look far longer than the typical foot file used at other salons. While Anne was carefully designing a watercolor rose on my nails, May shared with me an interesting story about one of her regulars. Her customer had shared with May how her husband walked with a limp because for years he had been suffering from ingrown nails. May suggested he come in and let her work on him. He was quite skeptical when he came in and gave May about 2 weeks to work her magic. Much to his shock and surprise, the treatment worked and later thanking May for this life changing event, he now comes in every 6 months to maintain his healthy nails. Many military personnel opt for that kind of treatment, as their tight boots that are required for the job can cause ingrown nails that hurt and deform the feet. 16
DAEGU COMPASS 2015.FEBRUARY
My experience at My Bling Story was just amazing. My manicure ended with a hand scrub, a hand massage and a moisturizing done with jojoba oil. I was so happy with the work done by Anne as well as the makeup artist. Until March, My Bling Story will be giving out their pedicure kits for free, a 10,000 won deal that includes a file, toe separators, buffer and more, that can be kept at the salon for your convenience. The salon is open from 10am to 9pm every day except the first and third Sunday of the month.

A Scone A Day Will Keep The Doctor Away Step-by-Step Yuza Scone Recipe Written and photographed by Stephen Elliott / Translated by Jihyun Lee
Stephen Elliott is a teacher and amateur foodie living and working in Daegu. Follow his adventures in baking at http://www.lonelybearbakery.blogspot.com
Follow the directions in the order described for best results. These fruity yet mild baked goods are the perfect morning perk, or satisfying end to a long day in the middle of a bleak winter.
Yuza cha, or honey citron tea, is one of the few saving graces of the bitter cold South Korean winter, rife with inadequate heating, sniffles, and the dreaded cold virus. Soothing ade to a sore throat, packed with vitamins, and delicious to an addictive degree, this lemony-sweet hot tea should be stocked in every one's pantry this winter. Beyond merely medication for an aching esophagus, the acidity of the citrus in yuza cha can be a delightful accent to a warm scone. This recipe for yuza cha scones also includes some more acidic tones from dried cranberries, along with a creamy balance from added almonds and plentiful amounts of butter and milk. East meets west with this delicious fusion of tastes from two continents.

Skiing and Snowboarding Korea Mini-Guide and Tour Company Information Written by Lowell Sanborn
It’s coming. Ski season is here! With a ski season that lasts from, at best, late November to early March, you have to work quickly to get your days in. Korea has 17 ski resorts, mainly located in the Northeast Gangwan Province. The mountains in Korea are not known internationally for their amazing elevations, but they do offer some decent runs and it is worth checking it out, if just for a weekend. In lieu of the short season we offer a short introduction to skiing and snowboarding in Korea. Let’s grind out some stats first. The heavy hitters include the recently named hosts of the 2018 Winter Olympics Yongpyong Resort and Alpensia Resort. While Muju, High One and Phoenix Park are the biggest and best. These are some of the most popular resorts in Korea. The 2018 Winter Olympic Mountains 22
DAEGU COMPASS 2015.FEBRUARY
Yongpyong Resort With an average snowfall of 250cms a year (typical snowfall in Gangwan province) Yongpyong Resort offers 4,300 acres of terrain 700-1,458m above sea level, according to the resort homepage. They have 31 slopes and 14 lifts including 2 half pipes and 1 cable car. They have a cross-country trail that is 15km long. They can easily accommodate rentals with their 3,000 sets of skis and snowboards. Yongpyong was an easy choice for the Olympics because of its ability to accommodate the Alpine and snowboarding competitions. Alpensia Resort Alpensia Resort is a quaint hill with 6 slopes and 3 lifts. This mountain will be the site of the 2018 Pyeongchang ski jump, bobsled, cross-country skiing and biathlon

events. This site, much like Cypress Mountain in Vancouver, is the smaller more viewer friendly venue to its larger Alpine oriented counterpart. Popular Demand High One Resort High One Resort is one of the most popular snow destinations and one of the easiest to get to from Daegu. High One has one of the longest runs in Korea (4.2 km). 18 slopes at 1,345 meters above sea level this mountain is good for all levels. In the village surrounding High One also has a casino, which is open to Koreans and foreigners. Beware though this casino gets very busy. This resort is about 5 hours from Daegu. Phoenix Park Phoenix Park is one of the largest ski resorts in Korea. With its 21 slopes and 9 lifts (including one 8-seater gondola) it also has one of Korea’s best parks. The mountain has also added some new features such as Moguls and will be used for the 2018 Olympics as well according to Korea Tourism. This Resort takes about 5 hours to get to from the city.
Muju Resort Muju is one of the biggest ski resorts in Korea and its also less than two hours from the city. Its Silk Road Slope is 6.1km long (longest in Korea) and designed for beginners and intermediate riders. Worth a shred! The resort is divided into 2 sections (Manseon base with 12 slopes and Seolcheon Base with 10 slopes). Muju is also home to some relaxing hot springs for your sore butt after a rough day. How to get there Getting to Resorts is easy on the weekend. There are tons of individual tour companies that have pickup spots all over the city. Sinmae-dong, Dong-A department store and Manchon are a few. There are facebook groups including I Love Daegu that run huge blowout parties/ snow events throughout the season. Rentals Rentals are very cheap and easy in Korea. The resorts are built with beginners in mind with tons of storage lockers and rental gear. Feel free to head up with your warmest jacket and be able to rent boots, gloves, pants -continued on p26-

and board. Although quite necessary on snowy days, goggles are a little more difficult to get. Don’t worry though it is possible with a deposit. If you’re not sure about how to ask or are worried for any reason about getting the right gear for the job just feel free to jump on board on one of the tour buses or many different group run trips out of the city. Summary If it’s sweet champagne powder you’re looking for, you
better get on a plane to Japan. If you try to look at snow conditions for the day on the mountain you choose you will not find it. The conditions are consistently groomed and packed. Don’t bother trying to find any tree skiing in Korea as slopes are generally roped and sometimes even fenced off. Though the mountains are small and on weekends can be over crowded, the Korean skiing and riding scene is worth a season. Get up to get down, repeat!

How To Make The Most Of Your New Year's Resolutions Starting Fresh In The New Year Written by Kate Heslop

January is without a doubt one of the most depressing months of the year. With all the Christmas festivities fading into a distant delicious memory, those leftover pies, cakes and chocolates are destined for the trash when the New Year rolls in. In December you’re likely to hear plenty of “more turkey please” or “pass the mulled wine”. It is the season to be merry, a month when your stomach is always full, and a hangover is a daily struggle. But this reckless (or should it be ‘fantastic’?) lifestyle can’t outlive the Christmas holiday period. If it did, we’d never get any work done, and we certainly wouldn’t fit into our jeans. So, January is the month of the detox. The period of juice cleanses and abstinence from alcohol. You hear desperate cries of “New Year, new me!” from those who gained holiday weight, as they frantically stumble through a depressing gym class, hoping to sweat out those last three pies from New Year’s Eve. You see people look down at their January salads; green, dry, tasteless. They can still taste last month’s turkey dinners. They cry into their vegetable juice drink.

This is why February is so important. It’s the month you get your life back. It’s a month for embracing failure after you shrug off any reminders of those pesky New Year’s resolutions. Sure, you’re probably not going to eat handfuls of chocolate every day like you did at Christmas, but at least you can step away from that dinner of leaves and say “well, I tried!” No one keeps their New Year’s resolutions. No one. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying. So, cancel that gym membership that you only used once (January 1st) and rediscover all the good things you left behind in the New Year. We know you’re already giving up on saving money or being super healthy, so we’re you’re helping hand. Here, we tell you how to put those New Year’s resolutions behind you. Because if you must fail, at least fail in style.

and healthy eating. But a whole year of misery is not the answer. Eat small meals, snack rarely, treat yourself occasionally and move a lot more. Have fun while you’re at it. But first, put down the kale and cucumber smoothie and take a big bite of something your stomach will thank you for. Head to Traveler’s Bar & Grill for some of the best burgers in town. Fellow English friends, tuck into their fish and chips which has been personally recommended by many of us Brits – it’s a delicious taste of home! Or for a real meaty treat, the chilli cheese burger is exactly what your body was craving in January.

“In 2015 I will stop drinking alcohol!”
No, you won’t. Have you been another victim of Dry January? If you’ve spent a month without drinking, don’t end that thirsty streak with a pint of Cass or a watery vodka and coke from any old bar. Make your way to Percent, the bar with the finest craft beers in Daegu. Take your pick from a wide range of stouts and IPAs or get a beer sampler to taste-test a select few.

“In 2015 I will save lots of money and stop shopping!”
Daegu is known as Korea’s fashion capital, so clothes shopping is almost impossible to avoid. Isn’t it what weekends were made for? Budgeting is very hard in a city that offers so much, as eating out, shopping and going for drinks with friends are some of the best things to do in Daegu. Set yourself mini monthly targets and transfer money on pay day to a separate account to refrain from spending. But, until then, shop the weekend away! Downtown is a winding maze of fantastic shops, from independent designers to large shopping malls, so you can find almost anything in those few blocks. For some luxury, get your credit card ready and hit the Hyundai mall. I can spend hours wandering around in there and rarely leave empty handed. If you want a proper shopping spree with a smaller price tag, Jungangno subway station is where you need to be. With an array of shops in the underground shopping mall, you can pick and choose from a variety of different retailers. Then, when you exit, you can head to our old favourites: H&M, Zara and Mango. Because, if you must put a rapid end to your New Year’s Resolutions, you’ve got to look good while doing it! 27
Coaching-To-Go Getting Started On The Next Stage Of Life Written by Brian M. Van Hise / Photos by Marsha Greenberg / Translated by Sujin Park
Have you ever wondered what your next step in life will be? Are you an expat living here in Korea and have found yourself stuck in a rut? Maybe you’re a public school English teacher and see the cuts coming this next year and don’t feel ready to go back home yet? Maybe you don’t even know where to start when thinking about going back home. Enter Marsha Greenberg, a life coach with over 40 years experience in networking, strategic planning, and employment services. 살아가면서 다음에는 무엇을 할지에 대해 생각해 본 적이 있 는가? 외국인으로서 한국에 한국에 사는 외국인으로서 한 국에 발이 매인채 틀에 박힌 생활을 하고 있는가? 공립학교 에서 원어민 교사로 일하며 내년도 인원감축 소식에 아직 고국으로 돌아갈 준비가 되지도 않았는데 라는 생각을 하 는가? 집으로 돌아간다해도 어디서 부터 시작해야 할지 모

“My job is to help people create a plan,” she says from her cozy apartment in Gyeongsan. “It’s about creating a strategic plan for your life.” Her motto is: “leave with a plan in your hand.” Greenberg began offering workshops this past year for those in the Daegu area who were discontent when thinking about their immediate futures or needed a little nudging to get the gears turning on realizing how to reach their goals. She outlines a common problem she encounters with some clients. “They might say: ‘You know, I’ve been in Korea for five years. I’ve been having a ball. But, I’m now in my thirties

and I think I might like to get married and have a family...and it’s not happening to me here.’” Marsha explains further: “But how do you go back? You don’t know how to network. You don’t know how to put a resume together. You don’t know how to look for a job. So, those are also things that I work with people on.” “내 직업은 사람들이 계획을 세우도록 도와주는 거에요.” 경산에 있는 아늑한 자신의 아파트에서 Greenberg가 한 말이다. “삶에 대한 전략적인 계 획을 세우는 거죠.” 그녀의 모토는 “떠날 때는 준비 된 계획을 가지고 떠나라”이다. Greenberg는 대구 에서 자신에게 곧 다가올 미래를 생각하는 것에 불 만을 가지고 있는 사람들이나, 자신들의 목표에 도 달하는 길을 향해 나아가기 위해 준비하는과정에 서 작은 도움이 필요한 사람들을 위해 지난 해 여 러차례 워크샵을 열었다. Greenberg는 만나는 고 객들의 공통적인 문제를 짚어냈다. “그들은 이렇게 말을 하곤 했어요.‘알겠지만, 저는 한국에 5년동안 있었어요. 그동안 즐거웠어요. 그렇지만 이제 30대 가 됐고 결혼해서 가정을 꾸리고 싶은 것 같기도 한 데, 이곳에서는 그럴 수 없어요.’” Greenberg는 덧 -continued on p30-

붙여 설명했다. “그런데 어떻게 돌아갈건가요? 인맥을 쌌는 방법도 모르고, 이력서를 제대로 쓸줄도 모르면서 말이예 요. 어떻게 직장을 알아보는지도 모르잖아요. 그러니까 사 람들이 이러한 것을 제대로 하도록 도와주는 것이 제 일이 기도 해요.”
Each year that expats spend away from their homelands can slowly tick away at future business connections, networks fade a bit, and that tightly-written resume might loosen a little around the edges. “I have a client right now how is going back to graduate school in Canada. Her vision is to go back, go to graduate school, and stay. But how do people make that transition?” Greenberg continues: “If someone decides they want to return home to the States, what I can offer them is how they can get themselves established before they go back. What kind of networks do you have? Who do you know? How do you contact them? What does it mean to be on LinkedIn? What does networking mean? What kind of a resume do you have?” 외국인들이 자신의 고국에서 떠나와서 이곳에서 보내는 한 해 한 해가 미래의 사업 인맥으로 부터 서서히 멀어지는 시 간들이다. 인맥을 조금씩 잃어간다는 것이다. 그리고 빽빽하 게 잘 채워졌던 이력서 역시 서서히 헐거워 지기도 한다. “ 고객 중 한 명이 캐나다에 있는 대학원으로 돌아가고자 하는 사람이 있어요. 이 분은 결국은 캐나다로 돌아가서, 대학원 을 졸업하고 그곳에서 자리를 잡고싶어해요. 그러나 어떤 과 정을 거쳐야 하는걸까요?” Greenberg는 계속해서 말했다. “ 어떤 사람이 미국에 있는 고향으로 돌아가고자 한다면, 제 가 하는 일은 그 사람이 어떻게 하면 귀국하기 전 충분히 준 비 된 상태로 돌아갈 수 있을지 그 방법을 알려주는 것입니 다. 어떤 인맥이 아직 남아있는지, 누구를 아는지, 어떻게 그 들에게 연락을 해야 하는지, LinkedIn을 사용한다는 것이 어떤 것인지, 인맥을 맺는다는 것이 무엇인지, 어떤 이력서 를 마련해 두었는지 등이지요.”

How about those who have been teaching English for the past few years and don’t know where to start looking when returning home? Greenberg’s advice is to understand that what you did here in Korea may not transition exactly into a similar program in your home country. However, that doesn’t mean it’s useless. She says: “How do you take what you’ve done and translate it into something that might be picked up somewhere else? It doesn’t have to be a school. I was just advising someone to contact the Girl Scouts or outdoor education programs, or even corporate programs. So, there’s lots of ways to take what you’ve done and shape it around what’s available.” 지난 몇 년간 영어를 가르쳐 왔고, 고국으로 돌아갔을 때 어 디서부터 시작해야 하는 지 모르는 사람은 어떨까? Greenberg은 한국에서 해온 일들이 고국에서 하게 될 일로 연계 가 되지 않을지도 모른다는 것을 알아야 한다고 조언한다. 그러나 이 일이 쓸모없다는 뜻은 아니다. Greenberg가 말 하길, “이제껏 해온 일들을 다른 영역에서 쓰일 수 있도록 변 환 하려면 어떻게 해야 할까요? 그 영역이 꼭 학교일 필요는 없죠. 제 고객 중 한분께 걸스카우트나, 야외 교육 프로그램 또는 기업 프로그램에도 문을 두드려 보라고 조언을 했죠. 그러니까 이제까지 해 온 일들을 잘 다듬어 써먹을 수 있는 것으로 만드는데에는 많은 방법이 있다는 겁니다.”
However, Greenberg’s program, “Coaching to Go”, is not only aimed at those looking to return home some day. She also has clients who are content with remaining in Korea, content with their jobs, but still feel that something might be lacking. She says: “They talk about the fact that they’d like to play the piano or they’d like to write, or they’d like to paint. They’d like to do something else with their life and for whatever reason, they’re not doing it. What I’m doing is saying to people: ‘Look you have one life. One precious life. Now, what do you want to do with it?’”

그러나, Greenberg의 프로그램인 “Coaching to Go”는 집으로 돌아갈 날을 바라보고 있는 사람들 만을 위한 프로 그램이 아니다. 한국에서 지내는 것과 자신들의 직업에 만 족하지만 여전히 무언가가 부족한 것 같다고 느끼는 고객 들도 있다. 그녀는 “그들이 피아노 연주를 하거나 글 쓰기 를 하거나, 그림을 그리는 것을 좋아한다고 말한적이 있 습니다. 그들은 그들의 삶에서 다른 것을 하길 좋아했지 만 이유가 뭐가 됐든 그것을 하고 있지 않습니다. 제가 하 는 일은 사람들에게 ‘인생은 한번 뿐이다. 한 번의 소중한 삶이다. 그런 삶에서 무엇을 하길 원하는가?’라고 말해주 는 것입니다.”

Coaching-to-Go typically consists of 3 1-hour sessions. Session One creates the personalized vision of her client and answers the question: “What do you want to do?” Session Two covers a more in-depth process highlighting how to actually implement and carry out the plan. Session Three is the true nuts and bolts of the process and discusses “What do I do now?” Coaching-to-Go는 보통 한 시간 단위로 3세션으로 구 성된다. 첫 번째 세션은 고객의 개인적인 목표를 만드는 것으로 “어떤 것을 하고 싶나요?”라는 질문에 답하는 것으 로 이루어진다. 두 번째 세션은 심도있는 과정으로 계획을 어떻게 실행하고 수행할지에 대한 것이다. 세 번째 세션은 가장 핵심 과정으로써, “이제 무엇을 해야하나”에 대한 토 의가 이루어진다.
Coaching-to-Go workshops and one-on-one sessions can be easily booked through reenberg directly and can be held at a location of the client’s choosing: home, cafe, Skype, or anywhere. One-on-one sessions cost 60,000 KRW for 1 hour or a full 3 session program is only 150,000 KRW. For those interested in group workshops, the rate drops significantly. A 6-member 3 hour workshop runs just 125,000 KRW per person. 31

Latin Flavor, known on Facebook as the "Salsa for Foreigners in Daegu” group, which is run by two locals Kenneth Sokol and Dan Jeongdae Son, has been teaching Latin dance and organizing Latin events for many years in Daegu. They, naturally serve locals as well as foreigners. Ken , American, lived in Korea for over 9 years, and Dan, Korean-Australian, lived in Australia and came back to Korea. They were looking for a great venue to hold classes and events, and more importantly to have a real Latin Club. 페이스북 그룹 “Salsa for Foreigners in Daegu”으로 알려 지고 켄과 댄에 의해 운영되는 Latin Flavor는 오랫동안 대 구에서 라틴 댄스 클래스와 이벤트를 열어왔습니다. 그들은 외국인뿐만 아니라 내국인 도 당연히 가르치고 있습니다. 켄

Fight Club The First Rule Is...
Interview by Scott McLaughlin / Photos submitted by Daegu's Fight Club
The greatest advantage to living in Daegu is the multitude of clubs and activities to participate in around the city. Fight Club is one of Daegu's longest running clubs in Korea. There have been many clubs that have come and gone, but the one run by Nick Heroux has endured the test of time. Beginner, intermediate, advanced or spectators are welcome to try their hand in a controlled and safe environment. I had the chance to interview Nick and find out how Fight Club has been progressing over these years. Can you share the history behind Daegu's only foreign run fight club? I started it in spring of 2008 after almost a year of searching for a gym to hold it. It began primarily as a way for me to network and find training partners so that we could learn from one another. It started as a very sparring oriented workout session but after a few years 36

has become a much more structured class setting followed by open mat. How would you describe the culture within the club? Would it be intimidating for new members to feel welcome? The culture within the club is very open, welcoming and respectful. We accept anyone, men, women, Koreans, and foreigners, from any style or background, from absolute beginners to professional fighters. Nobody is viewed as more important than anyone else. Furthermore, we operate under a very strict sportmanship policy. There's no room for ego or poor sportsmanship in martial arts Who is the main trainer? Or is it more about learning from each other? I handle the primary teaching duties, but I'm flexible and

open it up to others who want to teach a particular style or skill, or if we have large groups and need to split the classes into knowledge levels What are some of the techniques and fighting styles you guys use? We focus on self defense oriented mixed martial arts. We mainly teach a blend of Muay Thai, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and Sanshou kung fu. We try and expose people to things they haven't experienced before and get people out of their comfort zones, getting strikers to grapple and vice versa, or exposing beginners to the different facets of martial arts and encouraging them to begin training during the week in a style that suits them. How can people get involved? To get involved, send me a FB message or join the group Fight Club SK. Anyone is welcome to join a session (they're usually Saturdays at 1) even if they just want to watch.

Life of an EPIK Teacher Dispelling a Few Misconceptions Written and photographed by Lindsay Mickles / Translated by Sangwon Lee
When I was researching the EPIK program I was under the impression (due to the internet or my own ignorance) that I would simply be teaching pronunciation and conversation skills. I was also led to believe that there would be ample time to lesson plan and I would have a lot of 'down-time' at work. Nope, nope, nope, and heck nope. 필자가 EPIK 과정을 조사했을 때만해도 단순히 발음과 회화 스킬만 가르친다는 점에서 (인터넷과 필자의 무지때문에) 감 탄했었다. 게다가 수업을 짜는데 충분한 시간은 물론 근무중 에도 휴식시간이 많을거라 믿고 있었지만, 현실은 아니, 아 니, 아니 정말 아니었다.
Every teacher's experience is different, but in case you are considering applying to the EPIK program (or just arrived in Daegu), here's a few things from my experi-

ence worth sharing: 모든 교사들의 경험은 달랐지만, EPIK 과정에 지원하려고 생각하는 경우 (아니면 대구에 막 도착했거나) 필자의 경험 에서 공유 할 가치가 있는 몇 가지만 소개한다:
Be Prepared to Teach Everything! 모든것에 준비가 돼 있을것! Most elementary school textbooks have divided the chapters in to Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Wrap-Up/Review. I have been asked to plan and lead lessons on all of these sections. Not a problem in the slightest, but make sure you are mentally prepared to teach all areas of the textbook.
Daegu Community and Events - Life of an EPIK Teacher
http://daegucompass.com
대부분 초등학교 교재는 말하기, 듣기, 독해, 작문, 끝맺기/ 복습이 한장으로 구성되어있다. 대게는 이 모든 섹션의 수 업을 계획하고 지도해야 하지만, 이런 부분을 전혀 개의치 않더라도 교재의 모든영역을 가르치도록 정신적으로 준비 되어있어야한다.
Following the Textbook 교재를 충실히 따를 것 Many teachers are required to cover the content in the textbook, even if it is outdated or seems irrelevant. At my school, I can usually build some practical activities into the lesson or change the game, but keep in mind that you may be required to teach the key phrases (even if they seem weird) and do some of the activities (even if they seem pointless). I know some other EPIK teachers that have much more leeway with lessons and can often deviate from the book completely-this is not the case at my school. I would love to deviate more from the text, but it is currently not an option. Be prepared to adjust to your school's political and administrative environment.
많은 교사들은 교재 내용이 케케묵었거나 관련없어 보이더 라도 가르쳐야한다. 필자의 학교에서는 항상 수업에 실제적 인 활동을 넣거나 게임을 바꿀 수 있지만, 중요관용구나 (이 상한 표현이라도) 약간의 활동을 (의미없더라도) 가르쳐야 한다. 일부EPIK 교사들은 수업에 보다 많은 자유재량을 갖 고 종종교재에서 완전히 벗어나기도 하지만 필자가 속한 학 교의 경우는 아니다. 필자도 교재에서 자유롭고 싶지만, 현 재로써는 선택사항이 아니다. 자신이 속한 학교의정치적/행 정적 환경에 순응하도록 준비해라.
The Ideal is Not Always Attainable 항상 이상을 지향 할 수는 없다. You may come in to the EPIK program excited about implementing the Team Teaching co-teaching style only to find out that your co-teachers aren't interested or don't have the time for it. I have some EPIK friends who have co-teachers that sit in the back of class and play on their phones and some who carry on social conversations with other students during class! -continued on p40-
39
EPIK 과정에 팀지도협력지도는 동료교사가 전혀 관심이 없 거나 시간이 없을 때에나 활발해지는 상태로 전락할 수도있 다. 필자의 일부EPIK친구들은 수업시작중에 교실뒤편에 앉 아 스마트폰을 만지작거리며 놀거나 잡담을하는 동료교사 들이 있다고 했다!
월의 시간이면 해낼 수 있으리라 여겼지만 다음 학기에는완 전히 다른 동료 선생님들과 시작하게 된다. 게다가 몇몇선 생님들과는 팀지도가 절대 가능하지않다는점을 받아들이고 앞으로 나아가길 바란다.
I personally have 4 co-teachers and they all have different styles of teaching and planning. One teacher only wants me to prepare an activity/game for each class. One teacher wants me to plan a lesson and assign her parts to teach. Two teachers prefer us to rotate leading different book activities. I want to move more towards a Team Teaching style, but it takes time, hard work and a lot of trust. I hope that we can get there over the next 9 months, though I may have all new co-teachers starting next semester! Keep in mind that Team Teaching will never be possible with some teachers--accept it and move forward.
You May Have to Take Work Home With You! 집에 일을 갖고 갈 수도 있다.
필자는 개인적으로 네 명의 동료교사가 있지만 하나같이 학 습지도와 지도안의 방식이 다르다. 한 선생님은 필자에게 각 학급마다 활동/게임만 준비해주길 원하면 반면, 다른선생 님은 수업을 계획하고 지도하는 한 부분을 담당해 주길원했 다. 두명의 선생님은 다른 교재활동을 교대로 이끌어주길바 랬다. 필자는 팀지도방식을 선호했지만, 이방식은 오랜시간 과 힘든 작업 그리고 충분한 신뢰를 필요로했다. 앞으로 9개

After living and breathing my job in the US for over 8 years, I told myself that I would no longer take my work home with me, that I would achieve that whole work/ life balance thing. Fat chance..... If you want to be good at your teaching job, you may need to prep some presentations at home or start researching YouTube videos that pertain to your next lesson. I have some friends who have to lesson plan on the weekends, because their daily schedules are so hectic school. Yes, I'm sure you can do the bare minimum and skate by, but don't you actually want to do a good job? 8년간 미국에서 일과 함께 살고 숨쉰 후 부터는 내스스로 다시는 집에 일을 갖고오지 않을거라했고, 전반적인 일과 삶의 균형을 잡아가길 바랬지만, 그럴리는 없었다. 교사직

The Myth of Job Security 고용보장의 근거없는 믿음 As I’m sure you’ve experienced in the job market back home (wherever that is), job security really doesn’t exist anymore—and it definitely doesn’t exist here either. You may come to Korea mentally planning to stay 2 or 3 years only to find out that budget cuts have made it next to impossible. You may be told something one week, only to have it retracted the next. If you get here on an EPIK contract, be grateful that you made it this far! You may (or may not) have the option to renew your contract-enjoy every day you spend here, because nothing is guaranteed. 여러분은 고국에서 (무엇이든지간에) 직장경력이 있을 것 으로 확신하기에, 고용보장은 정말이지 더 이상은 존재하 지않고 물론 여기서도 명백히 존재하지않는다고 단언한 다. 마음속으로 2~3년만 지도하려고 한국에 왔을수도 있 지만 예산삭감은 한치앞을 내다보기 어렵게한다. 이번주 에 들었던 얘기도 다음주에 취소 될 수도 있으니말이다. EPIK계약으로 이곳에 왔다면, 지금까지 해낸 일에 감사해 라! 이 계약을 갱신할 선택사항을 가질 수도있으니 (없을 수도있고) 매일 여기에서 보내는 시간을 즐겨라. 왜냐하면 아무것도 보장되지않기 때문이다.

The Flexible Stick and the Korean Surprise 유연한 성격과 코리안 서프라이즈 One of the best things I heard before arriving here was from the co-teacher who was here before me. She said "God beat me over the head with a flexible stick". She couldn't have said it better.

to consider another line of work! 이곳에 도착하기 전에 들었던 최고의 것들 중 하나는 앞 서 여기에 온 동료교사가 말했던 “신은 구부러지는 막대 기로나를 전혀 이해할 수 없게한다”이다. 이보다 더 좋은 표현은 없었을거다. 필자의 지도일정은 주마다 (가끔 하루 에 4-5번) 변경됐고, 지도하는 방은 매번 바뀌기 일쑤인데 다 수업마저 취소되거나 즉석에서 이동되기도 한다. 이렇 게 힘든 상황에 적응하기 어렵다면, 다른 종류에 일을 알 아보고 싶어질거다.
I also heard many many times that Korean Surprises happen frequently and to expect the unexpected! A Korean Surprise is when something changes (or plans are made) and you find out last minute. You may have dinner with the entire staff and find out 30min before leaving. Or, you may find out that you have a meeting 5min before it starts. I now make plans with my friends and we always say Barring any Korean Surprises. You can't help when things pop up and it can happen often, hope you can handle that! 필자가 수 없이 들었던 코리안서프라이즈는 예상과는 상 관없이 종종있었다. 코리안서프라이즈는 뭔가 바뀔때 (또 는 교안을 만들때) 바로 직전에 알게된다. 전체직원과 저 녁회식이있더라고 퇴근하기 30분전에 알게 되는 경우도 있고 회의도 시작하기 5분전에야 알게 되기도 한다. 이제 필자는 친구와 교안을 만들고 우리는 항상 코리안서프라 이즈가없길 바란다고 얘기한다. 이런 일들이 느닷없이 생 기고 게다가 자주 생기더라도 어쩔 수 없지만, 무던히 처 리하길바란다.
I've become better at going with the flow since I've been here, though I can't say it's been easy the entire time. Flexibility will always be something I have to work on, but sometimes it is better to be forced to be flexible than to have the choice. All in all, I love my job, love my school and love my students (well, most of them). Buckle up and enjoy the ride! 필자는 여기에 온 후로 자연스러운 흐름에 맡기는쪽이 더 편하게 됐지만, 매번 쉽진않다. 융통성은 항상필자가 노력 하는 특별한 것이지만, 선택의 여지가 있는 것보단 유연해 지도록 강요 받는 편이낫다. 대체로 이 직업과 학교 그리고 학생들을 (음, 거의 대부분) 사랑한다. 그러니, 벨트를 매 고 라이딩을 즐겨라!

The Daegu Black History Month Festival
Written by Frantzie E. Bazile / Photos submitted by The Daegu Black History Month Festival / Translated by Sujin Park
The debate over whether we need Black History Month is resurrected annually, but you can’t deny the month brings a wealth of events, activities, and exhibitions about Black culture to cities across the globe. 우리에게 흑인 역사의 달이 필요한 지에 대한 논쟁이 매년 불거지지만, 축제가 열리는 달에는 전 세계에 흑인 문화에 관한 많은 이벤트, 활동, 전시회가 열리게 된다는 부인할 수 없다.
On Saturday, February 28th, a festival providing a glimpse of Black culture and history around the world and entertainment will again launch the 2015 Black History Month Festival in Daegu. Established in 2014, The Black History Month Festival's initial focus was the celebration of Black History Month and the recognition of the many significant contributions of those of African descent globally. Misrepresentations of Black culture and negative stereotypes are still very common in the

public sphere in Korea, particularly on TV with black face, and other depictions like afro wigs and caricatures of women's behind with giant fake butts. 2월 28일 토요일, 전세계의 흑인 문화와 역사를 엿볼 수 있 고 즐길거리가 있는 2015 Black History Month Festival 이 대구에서 다시 열린다. 2014년에 시작된 Black History Month Festival의 처음 목표는 흑인 역사의 달을 축하하 고, 흑인의 문화와 역사가 세계적으로 중대한 공헌을 많이 했다는 것을 알리기 위함이었다. 아직도 한국의 공적인 영역 에서는 흑인 문화에 대한 잘못된 지식과 부정적인 고정관념 이 매우 만연한데, 특히 TV에서 검은 얼굴로 나오는 경우가 그러하며, 아프로 가발과 거대한 가짜 엉덩이를 가진 여성의 캐리커쳐 등과 같은 묘사에서도 나타난다.
February is Black History Month in America and an opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness of Black cultural heritage and experiences today. The theme for this year’s Daegu Black History Month Festival is This Is Black. The program will focus on honoring the achieve-

ments of Black people around the world, examining current community challenges and exploring solutions that can lead to empowerment. 2월은 미국의 흑인 역사의 달이고 흑인 문화 유산과 오늘날 의 경험에 관한 인식을 축하하고 제고할 기회이다. 올해 대 구 흑인 역사의 달 축제의 주제는 ‘이것이 흑인이다’이다. 이 프로그램은 전 세계 흑인의 업적을 기리고, 현재 지역 사 회의 도전 흐름을 검토하고, 역량 강화로 이끌 수 있는 해결 책을 찾는 데 초점을 맞출 것이다.
Presented in collaboration with the United States Embassy, a team, both Koreans and foreigners, have come together to present the Daegu Black History Month Festival, a series of unique talks and performances intended to educate, empower and inspire change. The one-day celebration taking place downtown will include a workshop that will give audiences the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue on issues including discrimination, cultural misappropriation, and cultural awareness all over the world. Other celebration highlights include lively performances that salute Black culture and traditions from all over the world on Debec Department Store’s performance stage. Last year included electrifying performances like hip hop, gospel, dance, and spoken word. 미국 대사관과 합작해서 만든 한국인과 외국인이 팀이 되 어 같이 대구 흑인 역사의 달 축제에서 독특한 대화를 하 거나 변화를 교육하고 그에 권한을 주거나 고무시키기 위 한 공연들이 있다. 시내에서 하는 기념행사 날에는 관객들 이 차별과 문화적 남용, 그리고 전 세계의 문화적 인식에 관 한 주제를 담은 의미 있는 대화를 할 기회를 제공하는 워크 샵도 열린다. 기타 행사의 하이라이트는 대백 백화점의 공연 무대에서 흑 인 문화의 경례와 전 세계의 전통을 담은 활기찬 공연이다. 작년에 힙합, 복음, 무용, 구어와 같은 열광적인 공연들이 있었다.
가 왜 한국에서 열리냐고 묻는다. 최근 전 세계에서 일어나 고 있는 시위와 도전, 그리고 흑인 역사에서 정치적, 사회 적 운동의 승리와 더불어, 오늘날 모든 사람들에게 더 공정 한 세상을 유산으로 가질 수 있는 생각을 촉진 시킬 수 있길 바란다. 우리는 주목할 만한 흑인들의 역사를 인식해서 그 것이 지역 사회에서 영감을 얻거나 긍적적인 활동을 할 도 구가 되기를 바란다.
The event is free and open to everyone in the community and the general public in surrounding cities like Seoul, Busan, and Gwangju. We invite the community to celebrate with us! We also encourage members of the community to become a part of the celebration. If you would like to register as a performer, please visit the website. The deadline for performance registration is Sunday, January 25th at 11 p.m. 축제는 무료이며 대구에 사는 사람들, 서울, 부산, 광주 등에 사는 사람들 등 모두에게 열려 있다. 우리와 함께 축제를 즐 길 모든 사람들을 축제에 초대한다. 그리고 이 축제에 참여 하고 싶은 지역사회의 구성원들은 대환영이다. 축제에서 공 연을 하고 싶다면 웹사이트에 방문해주길 바란다. 공연 참가 자 등록 마감은 1월 25일 일요일 밤 11시까지이다.

Black history comes alive at Daegu’s annual Black History Month Festival. Some people asked, why a Black History Festival in Korea? With the recent demonstrations happening all over the world, the challenges, and the triumph of political and social activism in black history, the festival hopes to spark ideas for a legacy of a fairer world for all people today. We wanted to recognize the remarkable history of Black people and highlight it as a tool for inspiration and positive action in the community. 흑인의 역사는 매년 대구 Black History Month Festival에 서 살아 숨쉰다. 누군가는 Black History Month Festival

Different In Korea A Unique Perspective On Race and Culture Written by Frantzie E. Bazile / Photos submitted by The Daegu Black History Month Festival / Translated by Sun Lee
Inside a shop in Seoul, I bent over to peruse the humorous assorted slogans on the snapbacks when I noticed a rasping sound. A Korean woman, standing close to me, was rubbing strands from my afro between her fingers. She said something like, “Is it yours,” in Korean, but I wasn't sure. 서울의 한 가게 안에서 스냅백에 써진 재밌는 슬로건을 보려 고 허리를 숙였다. 그때 바스락 하는 소리가 들렸다. 한 한국 인 여자분이 내게 바짝 다가 서서는 내 아프로를 만지작거 리고 있었던 것이다. 모르긴 몰라도 “이거 자기 머리냐”라는 뜻의 말이었던 것 같다.
"Ne." I nodded my head. She nodded her he ad approvingly. “네”라며 고개를 끄덕였다. 그녀도 만족스럽게 고개를 끄덕였다.

Random touching by strangers is a part of my everyday life in Korea. Before I jumped into my Korean experience as an English teacher, I was warned that I would often be stared at, my hair would be touched without permission, and my picture taken. A New Yorker who grew up in diverse environments and could handle anything, I didn't give much thought to these warnings. 한국에서 낯선 사람들이 나를 만져대는 것이 한국에서 나 의 일상의 한 부분이 되었다. 한국에서 영어강사로 취직하 기 전, 주변인들은 한국에서 사람들이 나를 빤히 쳐다볼 것 이라고, 허락 없이 머리를 만지고 사진을 찍어 댈 것이라고 경고를 해 주었다. 다양한 사람들이 모여 사는 환경인 뉴욕 에서 자란 나로서는 이런 경고에 크게 신경을 쓰지 않았다.
Almost six months into my time in Korea, it's been secretly fun to be shown off. I enjoyed the attention walkDaegu Community and Events - Different In Korea

ing through markets and hearing, "yeppuda." Even the school nurse gave me the Korean moniker. Wherever I went, I was instantly prettier because I was different. Local Korean people often wanted me to meet their friends and families even if we just met. My new Korean friends included me in their lives as much as possible because I was foreign to them. 한국에서 산지 6개월이 다 되어갈 무렵, 나는 사람들의 시 선을 즐기고 있었다. 시장길을 걸어 가면서 주목을 받는 것 도, 사람들이 “예쁘다”라고 해 주는 것도 즐거웠다. 우리 학 교 보건 선생님은 나에게 한국 이름을 지어주고는 했다. 어 디를 가든지 나는 자동적으로 남들보다 예쁘다고 여겨졌다. 나의 외모가 남들과 달랐기 때문이다. 주변 한국인들은 종 종 가족과 친구들에게 보여주고 싶어했다. 나를 이제 막 만 났을 뿐인데도 말이다. 새로 사귄 한국 친구들은 자신의 삶 에 가능 한한 많은 부분을 나와 나누고 싶어했다. 내가 외국 인이었기 때문이다.
My students are fascinated by my afro. "I think your hair is so cool, teacher." I'm often asked if I got the style here. It wasn't until recently, I discovered the afro perm and have seen people wear the style. When my hair isn't in an afro, I'm known to wear a headdress, but not with-
out walking into a crowd of students "oohs" and "aahs" before I enter the classroom. 학생들은 내 아프로에 열광했다. “선생님 머리 너무 멋있는 것 같아요.” 사람들은 종종 한국에서 한 머리냐고 묻기도 했 다. 내가 아프로 스타일 펌이 있다는 것도, 아프로 스타일을 한 사람들을 본 것도 최근이었다. 내 머리가 아프로 스타일 이 아닐때는 머리수건을 두르고 있다는 것을 다들 알고 있 는데, 교실에 들어가기 까지 아이들의 “오오~”라든가 “아~” 라는 감탄사를 듣기 마련이었다.
Although gathering the attention of many Koreans is a stroke to my ego, there are some questionable incidents that happen. A Korean woman,who spoke English,noticed my headdress and asked, “Did you get the style from Africa?” My early experiences with disruptive and challenging students in my classroom often led to them shouting "Africa!" at me. My students have asked, “Do you rap?” I politely respond, “Do you”? In a recent lesson, I showed a photo of a Black man in my presentation. 한국 사람들의 관심을 받는 것에 기분이 우쭐하기는 했으 나, 다소 언짢은 사건도 있었다. 영어를 할 줄 아는 한 한국 인 여자분이 내 머리 수건을 보고는 “그 스타일은 아프리카 -continued on p48-

에서 한 건가요?” 라고 한 적이 있다. 수업 중 소란스럽고 다 루기 힘든 학생이 나에게 “아프리카다!” 라고 소리친 적도 있었다. 학생들이 내게 “랩 할 줄 알아요?”라고 묻기도 한 다. 그럴 때면 나는 점잖게, “너는 할 줄 아니?”라고 응대한 다. 최근 수업 중에 한 흑인 남성의 사진을 보여준 적이 있다.
"Teacher, this man is a thief. A criminal." A student pointed to the picture on the screen anxiously. The visual of a Black man pictured thoughts that he was violent and criminal. Black males in Korea are often likened to President Obama even when that could be furthest from the truth. After having a conversation with a Korean friend about Sam Ochiri, my Korean friend confessed that sometimes all Black people looked alike. “선생님, 이 사람 도둑이에요. 범죄자.” 한 학생이 사진을 가 리키며 불안한 듯 말했다. 흑인 남성의 사진을 보고 그 사람 이 폭력적이며 범법자 일 것이라는 생각을 하게된 것이다. 한국에서 흑인 남성이라 하면 사람들은 버락 오바마를 생각 한다. 그게 진실과 거리가 멀지라도 말이다. 한국인 친구들 과 샘 오취리에 대해 이야기를 하고 나서, 친구들은 종종 모 든 흑인들이 다 똑같이 생긴 것 같다고 고백하기도 한다.
I've witnessed inappropriate curriculum on culture from other English teachers like dawning students in black
face and dreadlock wigs to represent Jamaica,while other teachers giggled. It wasn't until I watched a performance of a dancer with an afro wig and the audience roared with laughter, I started to realize it was the visual punch line. My afro, my mode of self-expression, was a joke. It wasn't fun anymore once you realize your culture is used like an accessory. 다른 영어 선생님들이 학생들을 대상으로 부적절한 문화 수 업을 하는 것을 본 적도 있다. 학생 얼굴을 까맣게 칠하고 드 레드락 가발을 쓰게 한 다음에 자메이카를 대표한다고 한다 거나 주변에 있는 선생님들은 그것을 보고 낄낄대고 웃는 것 말이다. 어느 댄서가 아프로 가발을 쓰고 춤을 추자 관객들 이 웃으며 열광하는 것을 보고서야 나는 깨달았던 것이다. 나의 아프로가, 내 자아를 표현하는 방식이었던 이 스타일 이, 조롱거리라는 것을. 일단 내 문화가 다른 문화에서 악세 사리밖에 되지 않는 다는 것을 깨닫고 나자 이 모든 것은 더 이상 재밌는 일이 아니었다.
Upon arriving in Korea, I found message boards wrought with information from people of color and their difficulties adjusting here and to their jobs. I listened to stories about culturally insensitive remarks made at work. I was determined not to take the bait, and avoid all topics concerning race or being in the minority while in -continued on p50-

Korea. But, then the non-indictment for the shooting of Michael Brown happened and the world was watching. Once or twice my Korean co-workers shared they noticed the demonstrations. 한국에 처음 도착했을 때 유색인[역자주: people of color 는 비차별적용어이다]들이 모여 정보와 직장에서, 한국에서 적응하는 데서 겪은 어려움에 대해 나누는 게시판을 찾았다. 그 곳에서 사람들이 직장에서 들은 문화적으로 몰이해한 발 언들에 대한 이야기를 듣기도 했다. 나는 한국에 있는 동안 인종이나 소수인종에 관한 모든 이야기를 피하기로 결심했 다. 그러나 마이클 브라운 총격사건 관련한 불기소 판결이 내려지면서 전 세계가 그 이야기를 지켜보고 있었다. 한 두 번 쯤 한국인 직장 동료들이 그와 관련 된 시위를 알고 있다 고 말을 했었다.
Being overseas is no longer just about travel and being a teacher. I feel responsible to be a cultural ambassador everyday. Once you begin seeing the world through a different lens, you realize that things don't have to be the way they are. It's one of the reasons that I joined the planning committee for the Daegu Black History Month Festival. It's also one of the reasons that I have heavy conversations with my middle school students about Travyon Martin, Tamir Rice and the harmful effects of labeling people. 외국에 산다는 것이, 단순히 여행이나 영어 강사로서의 일 이 아니게 되었다. 매일 문화 대사로서의 책임이 있다는 것 을 느끼게 되었다. 한 번 세상을 다름의 눈으로 보고나면, 현 재 상황이 꼭 최선은 아니라는 것을 깨닫게 된다. 이것이 내 가 대구 블랙히스토리의 달 축제 기획 위원회에 함께하게 된 이유 중 하나이다. 또한 내가 가르치는 중학생들과 트레비 온 마틴, 타미르 라이스, 그리고 사람들에게 낙인찍는 것에

서 오는 부작용 등에 대해 심도 깊은 이야기를 하고 나서 결 심한 것이기도 하다.
In Korea, I'm always reminded that I'm Black and I'm different. I feel proud to share my American culture and Haitian heritage. It’s necessary to show that my country isn't just one of violence, guns, unhealthy food, and that Black people aren't just the limited information they’ve seen. 한국에서 산다는 것이 나에게 항상 내가 흑인이며 남들과 다 르다는 것을 상기시켜 준다. 나는 내가 미국인으로서 그리고 아이티 계통의 사람으로서의 문화를 나눌 수 있다는 것이 자 랑스럽다. 미국에는 폭력, 총기, 건강하지 못한 음식만 있는 것이 아니며 흑인들은 한국인들이 접한 제한적인 정보에서 보던 것이 다가 아니라는 것을 보여줄 필요가 있다.
Despite the challenges that come with embracing a new culture, my impressions of Korea have been amazing. I've won’t allow a minimal amount of ignorance sully my experience. What's it like being Black in Korea? It depends on what you can handle. If you can roll with unwanted petting, pictures taken, and see past the ignorance, you're in for a beautiful experience. 새로운 문화를 포용하는 데에서 오는 난관이 녹록찮은데도 불구하고, 한국 사람들은 이 난관을 잘 극복하고 있다. 소수 의 무지가 한국에서의 경험을 망치게 내버려 두지 않을 것 이다. 한국에서 흑인으로 살아가는 것이 어떠냐고? 여러분 이 어디까지 받아들일 수 있느냐에 따라 다를 것이다. 원치 않는 신체 접촉이나, 사진찍히는 것이나, 한국인들의 무지 를 아무렇지 않게 넘길 수 있다면 여러분은 멋진 경험을 할 준비가 된 것이다.

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

Daebong-dong Barazi Barazi brings Japanese flair to Daegu. Barazi specializes in great Japanese cuisine. The restaurant feels like a home away from home. The soothing atmosphere provides customers a chance to relax with a cup of tea or some warm saki! The owner of Barazi is also an expert florist and can help arrange all your floral needs. Check the Bangcheon Market Compass Map on p59 for directions. Check out the Bangcheon Market Map on p59 for directions. 12PM~12AM • 010-4505-3396 • 13-16, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu
Gajok Gajok means 'family' in Korean. That's the feeling you get when you step inside this wonderful Korean restaurant. Now, before you start to get a mental picture of the food it serves, just know that most of the meat is from the thigh and not the actual foot. What??? Yes, Gajok serves pig's foot for dinner.. But it's not like you are eating the hoof of the pig. In Korea, the foot and leg seems to go hand in hand, so it is similar to eating drumsticks (chicken legs). Enjoy!

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.

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.

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.
