HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

H AVA N A

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlin

Fresh Food, Fresh Ideas

arely do you find a restaurant so determined to separate itself from the competition with its food preparation, however, Havana is one such restaurant. 'NO MSG' is written in big letters on the first page of the menu. This motto is something Chef Oh Hee-seok has come to follow since he began cooking in kitchens in Daegu. This idea of taking the freshest food and ingredients and keeping them that way is the heart of Chef Oh's culinary philosophy. Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu, he's been perfecting his craft for the last 10 years. His menu is chalk full of exciting dishes. Fusing traditional Italian style with Asian flavors brings out some fabulous flavors that make your eyes say, "More," even if your stomach says, "I'm full!" One dish that really stood out during our interview was his Fresh Mushroom and Bacon Spin-

ach Salad. Normally, one thinks immediately of Popeye the Sailor man and his awful expression whenever he had to gulp down that can of spinach. Thankfully, this isn't the case with this Fresh Spinach Salad. The bacon is cooked just right. The mushrooms and spinach are lightly coated with a thin layer of oriental dressing, which Chef Oh prepares specially for this salad. This is by far my favorite dish Havana has to offer.

I haven't come across a Fresh Spinach Salad that reminded me of home in Korea ever. In fact, I could write an entire article describing my love for this salad, except I am lucky enough to have sampled more dishes Havana has to offer and want to share them with you. If spinach isn't your thing, then try the Wild, Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad. Wow, try saying that five times fast. Congratulations, you did it! This isn't your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it, either. This is an assorted mix of wild, gourmet spring lettuce. Crispy barely scratches the surface when it comes to talking about this lettuce. I think if this salad was served in the Shire, it would have the Hobbit stamp of certified fresh. And, at 8,000w, this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal. The skinless chicken breast is touched

Check it out sometime, your taste buds will thank you, mine actually said, "Wow, you finally made a smart choice for once." That's never happened to me before, either. Sun-Thu 11:30am â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11pm (Last main dish order 9pm) (Side dishes 10pm) with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I haven't tasted in seven ages of man. If you're on a bit of a health kick, don't worry, there is only a light drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette used to enhance the flavor of the wild greens, making a beautiful ballad of flavor in your mouth.

Havana's interior is clean and spacious with a nice patio on the 3rd floor with 2 tables. Enough for 7 of your bestest buds to get together and have a laugh while enjoying some fabulous chemical free, NO MSG food. There isn't any other place like Havana in Daegu. It is conveniently lo-

Fri-Sat 11:30am - Midnight (Last main dish order 10pm) (Side dishes 11pm) Lunch Specials 11:30am - 2pm Mon-Fri (20% off your bill)

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it, or Crab Cream Pasta (10,000w) as written in the menu is another entree that Chef Oh has innovated. The synergy between the king crab used and the rich cream sauce is splendid. Efficiently working to create a diverse range of flavor that doesn't have a hint of 'seafoody' pasta taste to it. Instead, you taste the robust and powerful flavor of king crab. The cream sauce is similar to a crab bisque you might have at an overpriced restaurant. Chef Oh has merged his ingredients together, having each part play an integral role on the final product. The King of Crab Pasta! This is his favorite dish to prepare for customers because he enjoys the satisfied expressions that create a golden orb of happiness around their faces.

JJ’S BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJ’s Bar and Grill Written by Brad Piepkorn Photos by Ivan Broida

a home away from home

hen it comes to foreigneraimed bars, downtown Daegu has a nice pool to choose from. There does, however, seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as “mid-tempo” establishments. Either you’re elbow to elbow with every perspiring, lubricated waygook downtown or you’re sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music. If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu. According to JJ, the only ‘theme’ he had in mind for his new bar was “a good place to meet people, kick back, and have some nice conversation.” Mission accomplished. JJ’s layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor. Located on the third floor of what we oldtimers would refer to as “the old Holy Grill,” the interior of JJ’s is as warm and open as its staff. The wall facing the street is comprised

sating and drab, between sweaty and lonely, between LMFAO and Elliot Smith. Enter JJ’s Bar and Grill. Opened on March 15th of this year, JJ’s Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply. There are a number of reasons for this hangout’s warm reception by Daegu bar-goers, the most obvious of which is JJ’s casual and friendly atmosphere. Much of what makes JJ’s vibe unique is, well, JJ. Having spent nearly 30 years in the US, JJ Chi is no stranger to what expats long for in a watering-hole away from home. He has successfully

entirely of large glass windows, allowing for a nice view of the probable weekend chaos below. There is a bar where the drinks are served, as well as a long bar-style island in the middle of the space. The remaining wall is lined with additional seating, darts, and two large flat-screen TVs.

The drink menu is diverse and prices are very reasonable. JJ’s offers about a dozen different beers with Cass, Alley Kat, and Guinness available on tap. All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices starting at 4,000w. Don’t let the menu limit you though; the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires. JJ’s also sports a surprising whiskey/cognac selection. Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine. JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washington State as well as Los Angeles and his experience in Westernstyle cooking is readily apparent. JJ describes the items on his menu simply as “bar food,” but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short.

Whenever possible, JJ’s food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients. To start, JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

JJ’S BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME fajitas which were simple but phenomenal, with all of the familiar ingredients (peppers, onions, and tomatoes) served on a sizzling hot metal plate and accompanied by salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. (12,000w)

on Tuesday nights) which were lightly fried, generously basted in buffalo sauce, and accompanied by carrot sticks and ranch dressing. These have the taste and, most importantly, crunchy texture of the wings back home. Next up were the nachos--freshly fried

corn tortillas topped with onions, tomatoes, Italian sausage and melted jack and cheddar cheeses. (12,000w) According to JJ, this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole, it’s easy to see why. JJ then brought us the chicken

Though our homesick sensibilities lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options, that is far from all that JJ’s menu has to offer. Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10,000w), the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12,000w) and a number of salads and wraps. If you’re feeling like a treat, try JJ’s superb 8-oz. Rib Eye, 14-oz. New York Steak, or the whopping 18-oz. Cow Boy Steak. Long story short, you will not be disappointed with the food at JJ’s. It’s also important to note that, since JJ makes his food fresh

JJ’S BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME and from scratch, vegetarians and vegans are easily accommodated. Apart from the great food and drinks, JJ works hard to ensure his customers are having a good time. One way he hopes to accomplish this is through weekly events. Tuesday is “Wing Night”--wings are 50 cents (500w) each. The bar also hosts Texas Hold’em tournaments on Wednesday nights with the winner being awarded a nice bottle of liquor or gift certificate from the bar. For the hardcore card-sharks out there, worry not; JJ knows the ins and outs of the game well having worked in Las Vegas and, more recently, as the floor manager of Daegu Casino. On Thursday nights, the bar hosts a darts tournament.

JJ’s opens at 5:00 p.m. and stays open until the customers are gone. For those of you who like to party really late into the night, JJ’s begins serving “Hangover Breakfast” in May from 6:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. on the weekends. These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and of course bloody marys. JJ’s is located near all of the action downtown and is very easy to find. From the Samduk Fire Station, head toward the foreigner bar strip and take the first right. JJ’s is located on the 3rd floor on the left. If you’re looking for a new place to hang out, drink, and stuff your face with some awesome food, stop by JJ’s.

DENIZEN’S 1ST ALBUM - HORUS CHORUS

A Look Into Denizen’s Horus Written by Sanita Saengvilay / Photo by Scott McLaughlin

You don’t have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good ‘ole Americana music. Daegu’s own, Denizen just released their first album, Horus Chorus, on April 10th, 2012. The album is available at http://denizenband.bandcamp.com/ album/horus-chorus. You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy, upbeat love songs anytime you want. Songs to check out are “Culture Shock” and “Venice.” Here are a few words leader singer, Michael McFarlane, had to say about their new album. What’s the meaning behind your album’s name, Horus Chorus? We worked closely with Philan Jung at Urban lounge and did most of the recording and mixing at his newly opened Horus Music Garage. So the Horus is a tribute to that and the Daegu music scene. Also, the more I worked with the raw band material before recording the vocals, the more voices I began incorporating. It was like a chorus. The words rhymed so the shoe fit. How long did it take you guys to finish the album (writing, practicing, recording, and mixing)? Was it a difficult process? It was a challenging process, but not a difficult one. If you like what you do, you don't care how hard it is. In fact, there was a day

Chorus.

when I was re-working the song "Honey You,” and I began working at 2:00pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 8:00am, the next morning. Our band has been around since early last fall, and had been working on the songs since the beginning. We recorded the band without vocals at Urban in 10 hours, over two sessions. This was in late December. The whole idea was to make a quick demo album and contribute a few songs to the Urban compilation album. The whole thing was supposed to take a few weeks. Once I started laying down temp/practice vocals tracks, the process surpassed the "rough demo" phase and took on a life of its own. The more I edited it, the better it sounded. We also

added guitar solos, overdubs, and we re-recorded two tracks. If we were on a professional work schedule, we could have had it done in two weeks, but we could only meet a few days a week, so it took longer. How do your friends and family back home feel? It feels great to have this under my belt. I've always wanted to record at least one album. Now, I want another one. There is no vacation that I could take, or fancy gadget that I could buy that would be as good of a gift to myself then a music album. I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life. Reactions have been continued on p14

largely positive. I am mortified to tell my family, though. I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly, goofy-voiced littlebrother or at least be so scathingly critical that I'll never think to do this kind of thing again. Honestly, I've only made passing references to my involvement in this band to the folks back home. They may still think it is just another passing phase in my life or an idle hobby. What was the process in creating songs? I write the songs for the band. I create demo tracks at home including the main guitar parts, vocals parts, a simple bass idea, and now, using a coffee can, a tamborine, and a cabasa, a drum beat. I send it to the boys and they get familiar with the songs on their own time. At our practice, the

guys will tell me how boring my ideas are, and we make necessary changes to give the songs more dynamics and life. For this album, we got point on these ten songs to lay down a 4-track recording. At that point, I made a rough mix tape from those sessions and recorded practice tracks at home. This was the point when I explored with the character of the vocal parts and experimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs. I also added guitar solos to songs we hadn't done during the live recording. I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun.

this. However, that is not counting any of the time I spent writing and recording on my own or the amount of time Joshua spent mixing on his own. What plans do you guys have next? I am currently working on our next set of songs that will make up a second album. We are already playing some of the new ones live. Having a good 20 songs will grant us much needed flexibility in our live shows. Once we finally print the album onto an actual CD, I can start sending it to radio stations, venues, and other connections. Maybe mom and dad will get a copy, too.

Officially, we spent about ninety hours, on-the-clock, doing all of

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the Wind. Written and photographed by Jayson Moore / Translated by the Jaguar

he imagination tingles and shivers with thoughts of the lost and foggy jungle island of Borneo. Isolated villages, towering trees, mammoth creepy crawlies and home to a treasure trove of rare and rapidly disappearing flora and fauna, the Land Below the Wind does not disappoint. 안개가 자욱한 정글 섬인 보 르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고, 설렘과 떨림을 준 다. 고립된 마을들, 높이 솟 은 나무, 크고 섬뜩한 벌레 들, 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희 귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있 는 땅, 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다.

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea, either because of it’s absence of bucket drinks or it’s sheer inaccessibility, the eastern Malaysian state of Sabah is a hidden paradise for those seeking travel with a conscience. Us here in Daegu, and Korea as a whole sometimes forget what is happening outside of our comfortable little bubble. In a country where it’s hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk, there isn’t much we really do in terms of being proactive. But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a different approach to our travels.

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국 에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호 하는 여행지가 아니다. 하지 만 생태관광을 추구하는 사 람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다. 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작 은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일 어나는지 잊고 산다. 길에 쓰 레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다. 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨 게 해 줄 것이다. The surroundings of the far eastern port town of Sandakan, and the Kinabatangan River basin are particularly noteworthy spots on the eco-tourism trail. The Kinabatangan is the longest river in Sabah and it’s vast floodplain is a true eden for wildlife. But despite the opportunities to come face to face with the phallus nosed Proboscis Monkeys, orangutans, crocodiles, rhinos and pygmy elephants, this river is home to far more than just animals. 사다칸 시의 동쪽 항구 주변 이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목 할 만한 장소이다. 사바 주에 서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야 생생물의 낙원이다. 이 강은 긴코원숭이, 오랑우탄, 악어, 코뿔소, 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

The river in this part of the state is the ultimate lifeline. Sabah is home to a staggering thirty plus tribes who speak fifty plus languages. In the floodplain the Orang-Sungai (quite aptly named River People) line the Kinabatan-

gan's banks with small, powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters. Without the river and it's dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness. 이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다.

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abundant wildlife, and the constant threat from outside sources, it is no wonder why there are a number of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem.

With a core philosophy of sustainability, conservation and local development, the KCL is meant to counteract the effects of deforestation, pollution, poaching, and a dozen other human-induced problems present in the area. 그곳에 훌륭한 부족전통과 풍부한 야생생물 그리고 외 부로부터 끊임없는 위협이 있어 왔다. 이런 환경에 적응 한 전통 집단이 있는 곳에 생 태계가 보전되고 있는 것은 당연하다. 카나바탕안 영역 은 세계자연보호기금(WWF) 이 구상했다. 다양한 비정부 기관과 다국적 기업, 말레이 시아 정부와 지역단체가 참 여했다. 케이씨엘은 지속가 능성, 보존, 지역발전을 핵심 으로 삼고 있다. 이것은 지역 삼림파괴, 오염, 밀렵 등 인 18

Well then, you might ask, what does this mean for the average expat in Korea? It is an eco-tourism mecca with ample off the beaten path experiences to be had. There is the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, the most famous of its kind. A trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Gomantong Caves, home to thousands of swiftlets and bats. If you're lucky local daredevils will be ascending bamboo ladders to collect the prized nests for bird nests soup. Then, there is Turtle Island, which is exactly like it sounds. Dawn and dusk river safaris are sure bets to bare witness to some unspeakable, humbling moments. The WWF

regularly tracks and researches the elusive Pygmy Elephants. Catching a glimpse of a herd grazing on the bank is something for which there are not enough synonyms to describe. You can also come face to face with giant butterflies, scores of absurd birds and a dozen or so different monkeys. It's a trip that you'll get more out of than a slightly damaged liver. 여러분은 한국에 있는 외국 인에게 이것이 무엇을 의미 하는지 물어볼 수도 있을 것 이다. 이곳은 사람들의 발길 닿는 곳에서 벗어난 생태관 광의 요람이다. 오랑우탄 중 에서도 가장 유명한 종인 세 필록 회복센터도 있다. 바다 제비 수 천 마리가 서식하는 고만통 동굴을 방문하기 전 까지는 이 여행이 완벽하다 고 할 수 없을 것이다. 운이 좋다면 지역 청년이 제비수 프를 위해 둥지를 모으려고 대나무 사다리를 오르는 것 을 볼 수 있을 것이다. 그리 고 황혼과 여명에 하는 거북 섬 여행은 침묵할 수밖에 없 는 겸허한 순간을 느낄 수 있 다. 세계자연보호기금은 잘 알려지지 않은 피그미 코끼 리를 정기적으로 추적하고

There's a primitive tourist trail, but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover, the preferred method is to hire a guide. Don't jump the gun on these guides either. The microphone blasting, umbrella holding packaged tours we're accustomed to seeing here couldn't be further from what you'll get in Sandakan. It's a local with real life experiences, driving you around in a jeep or in a small boat. You can learn how to smell for a crocodile, or what birds are near simply by their calls. You'll get to interact with villagers, not just observe. 완전히 인적이 없는 곳은 아니며, 1주 혹은 2주간 방문 가능하다. 한국에서 산다칸까 지 비행은 편도 200 달러 정도이고, 3시간 걸리며 하루에 몇 번씩 운행된다. 원시 관 광 답사도 있지만 허가증도 있어야 하고 거 리도 방대하여 가이드를 이용하는 것이 더 나을 것이다. 가이드에게 성급하게 굴지 마 라. 산다칸에 들어서는 순간, 안내 방송이 나 우산을 든 채 패키지로 다니는 익숙한 여행은 더 이상 볼 수 없을 것이다. 이것은 실제 지역 삶의 현장을 경험하는 것이고, 지프나 작은 배로 주변 지역을 돌아다닐 것 이다. 악어 냄새를 맡는 법을 배우고, 어느 새가 악어 근처에 있는지를 배울 수 있다. 단지 관찰하는 것이 아닌 마을사람과 상호 작용을 하게 될 것이다. Borneo is a land of adventure and precious gems that this world is slowly letting slip away. Don't go if you're looking for an easy ride, or a beautiful beach to lay on. Go for the experience and go for your conscience. 보르네오는 모험의 땅이고 이 세상이 천천 히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보 석이다. 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다 운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라. 경 험을 위해서, 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위 해 떠나라.

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

SAMSUNG LIONS NEWEST ACE

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlin

n a sunny afternoon, standing in the dugout of the Samsung Lions, I had the privilege to interview the Lions newest foreign pitcher, Mitch Talbot. On December 1, 2011, he signed with the 2010-2011 KBL Champions in hopes to defend their title this year. After a slow start to the season, Mitch Talbot took to the mound on April 12th and won his first start, along with Samsung's first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion. A right-handed pitcher, Talbot began throwing strikes with his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;change upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; since he was little. Growing up in southern Utah, with 3 older brothers as motivation, he honed his skills and was drafted by the Houston Astros in 2002 straight out of high school. In 2006, he was then traded to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and played for their Triple-A squad, the Durham Bulls. In 2008, he was called up to the majors. In 2009, he was traded to the Cleveland Indians, where he had an impressive 2010 season with them. In 2011, he be-

came a free agent and with a little encouragement from last year's Samsung Lion's foreign player, Justin Germano, decided to test his arm against Korea's finest. Having lived in Korea for only a month now, he and his wife, who are expecting their first baby girl to be born this summer, have settled into their life in Daegu without a hitch. As we chatted about his decision to come and play in Korea, it seemed as if he had lived abroad his whole life. But I guess that just comes with the job, road games, staying in hotels and traveling across country back in the States seemed to prepare him for the challenges he would face in Korea. He had a very gregarious personality throughout the interview that would make him a locker room favorite. We joked about the language barrier and how his teammates use him for English practice at times. Also, about how enthusiastic the crowd is here and how the cheerleaders don't distract him from

retiring the side. Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this year's team. At the time of this writing, he is 1-0, but the Lions are 3-7. I'm pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon. After a summer of celebrating, where I'm sure a few bottles of soju were knocked back, who can blame them for starting out a little slow. And with 2 new foreigners to help lead the way, in Mitch Talbot and Brain Gordon, the Lions will begin to ROAR again soon! Next issue, we'll get to know Brian Gordon, a veteran of the KBL. He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory!

TREAT YOURSELF TO A BIT OF ELEGANCE AT COHEART Written by Farra Maysara / Photos by Hami

OHEART Salon is a highly recommended hair beauty salon in Daegu where customers can get their hair done by top-notch hair dressers using high quality products along with reasonable prices! They have lustrous hair color treatments with glorious highlights and lovely digital hair perming. Most of the beauty products they use are imported from The US, France, Italy and Japan such as; Kerastase and L’Oreal. The quality of the products and hairdresser’s skills are second-tonone! COHEART Salon stands for Can (Nothing is impossible), Opinion (Listen to our customer) Happiness (Put our best to make customer happy), Emotive (Appealing and expressing), Artistic (Bring the beauty to our customer), Revolution (Move forward) and Technical (Skillful staffs). The owner is Mrs. Moo Yeon, Bek, she is really kind-hearted woman, regarding to her, COHEART staffs are trained and encouraged to ensure customers think of going 'nowhere else' for their hair and beauty needs. COHEART’s recent

growth in sales and service team reflect a commitment to that vision One of Mrs. Moo Yeon Bek’s dreams is to give opportunities to every staff to advance their skills through working in COHEART. Her biggest dream is to help her staff sooner or later open their own hair and beauty salon under the COHEART name. Staff at the Suseong branch are really friendly and speak English very well. There will be no language barrier for foreigners to enjoy some relaxation time. The head chief of COHEART at the Suseong Branch, Ms. Eun Hee Son, attended “Vidal Sassoon Beauty Academy“ in London for two

years and got her certification from there. I recommend this salon to all my foreign friends because their professional

hairdressers will match hair colors, style and treatment that fit you the best! It is a great place for both genders no matter what cut or color you are looking for. The salon is beautiful with a cozy interior design and a luxurious coffee bar inside. In every single seat, there is an I-pad for customers to play while having hair treatment. They give every

customer premium coffee (Americano, Cappuccino, Coffee Latte, etc) and treated me like I had been a customer with them forever. I had my hair cut and it turned out very beautiful. I have never been so happy with the turnout of my hair. Then, she styled it for me in a fun and flirty hair way! They have earned my services for as long as they are in business, which at this rate I would imagine would be forever for as good as they are. It was the best experience I have ever had at a salon in Korea. The services they offer are Hair Cut (15,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 25,000 won; depends on the hair dresser) , Hair Digital Perming (starts from 50,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 100,000 won), Hair Color (starts from 60,000 won) Exclusive Hair and Scalp Treatment (starts from 70,000won), Nail art (starts from 15,000 won) and Make-Up (70,000 won). How to get there? COHEART has 2 branches; the main branch is across the ARIANA hotel in Suseong-gu (Map below) and another branch on 1st floor of Dong-A Mart in Suseong-gu area. In order to get to the 2nd branch, take subway train line 2, get off at The Daegu Bank station and go for exit 3. You will see a convenience store (7eleven) at the corner of a big junction nearby the exit 3. From the convenience store, turn left (heading to Haize apartment) and walk less more 100 meters then you will find Dong-A mart. The Dong-A mart is exactly at the back of Haize apartment but keep walking until you find another corner and turn left, the salon is 15-30 meters from that corner.

HELLO! - PG. LOST INTERVIEW

Hello! ‘Pg. Lost’ Interview Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg. Lost is Maritn, Gustave, Mattias M, Kristy

Pg. Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk, whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contemplative moments rendering listeners to their own thoughts, then interrupting with bursts of distorted guitar, synth, and drumming onslaughts. In the same style as Explosions in the Sky and Mono, their music builds from quiet beginnings, volleying back and forth between crescendos and intervals of calm. -SCS

his is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been already? G. We started off in Hong Kong, then to China to do like 12 shows., 12? I think 12. Its been so long we’re all confused. But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea. How are you finding South Korea so far? M. For me I don’t know but because I’ve been to Japan and I’ve been to China it kind of feels like in the middle of the two. The environment and the landscapes certainly remind me of back home in Sweden, Did you intend on being an instrumental band from the beginning? K. For this band I think it was just a way to do something different because we were all in other bands that were really commercial with vocals and all that so we started this band just to hang out and have fun. It started out that we played instrumentally, for a period we added vocals, but the real Pg. Lost you hear today just skipped the

vocals. M. We just wanted to try things out and do music without boundaries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun. So you weren’t worried about moving away from a more conventional format of a band? G. We just wanted to jam and make songs that way. As a group and individually, could you talk about your influences, do you share many. It wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t share many because of your unique sound? K. I think of you take bands from the post rock genre. We all got inspired by Mono and Mogwai and bands like that. But outside of the post rock genre, we all listen to a lot of different music. M. I’ve always been fond of melodies, ever since I was a kid I listened to Iron Maiden, (chuckles) and that’s all based on melodies. That’s always inspiring to me. (Big smile on his face).

Explosions in the sky? That’s always a name dropped around you guys… K. Yeah we listen to them, but I think Mono was one of the bands that we were all really into for a while. G. Sound wise, I would say Mono are a bigger influence than ‘Explosions’, even though we like ‘Explosions‘ also but I think Mono was closer I think. M. Also, Mono has a special relationship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them. What is your favourite track that you’ve recorded and what feelings do you attach to it? G. It tends to be the latest track or something from the latest album. It changes al the time. Its hard, I think the feeling of it changes also depending on the day, and what you think of other people and how they think it influences you. continued on p30

JEONGDONGJIN - A SEASIDE TOWN

HELLO! - PG. LOST INTERVIEW continued from p28

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of conception you feel strongly about it, and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same again? M. I think ‘Yes I am’ of our EP. It was one of the first things we ever recorded. I don’t think at the time any of us were very fond of it because we did it very fast and recorded it in just 2 days. Then it got released and its now one of our hits. So that’s a personal favourite of yours? M. For me its growing, I didn’t see it at the time but the sound was special. G. Since then, we’ve evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now, it’s a different track, you know. That kind of song always works and always feels good when we play it. What are the most important things in your lives right now? K. Keep on the music, visit new places and just enjoy life I think. M. Same I like to travel, and if I get to play music and travel, and see countries like Korea and the Asian countries its great. I have a feeling its like our goal to go to new places. Big shows or small shows, doesn’t matter as long as we get to travel. G. Its hard to say anything else, wer’re all on the same page. This is what we love the most that’s why it’s the most important thing right now. Of course, there are other

things but this is what you long for the most. Martin; What he said ( big eruption of laughter) M. Yeah he’s the great talker of the band! And finally web stuff to check out..? M. Google ‘ Pg. lost’ G. There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too. Thanks a lot for your time guys. Also, thanks to SuperColorSuper for setting up the interview! Please continue to support their great live shows in the future!

INDIA TRAVEL STORY

India Travel Story Written and photographed by Mark Sands / Translated by by Suhyun Lee

ravelling in India is a challenging and interesting experience. There are two options, that become readily apparent when you arrive here. One, you can stay in touristy areas where the people will consistently try to cheat you. You can do this for around one month. It’s an experience, a lot of fun and lets be honest. They can’t really cheat you that much. It’s often funny when they do the conversion in your head and realise that the 300% increase on your hour long cab ride meant you only spent five dollars. 인도를 여행하는 것은 도전 적이고 흥미로운 경험이다. 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방 법이 있는데, 이곳에 도착하 면 쉽게 알게 된다. 한 가지 는, 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지 에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이 다. 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것 이다. 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아 니다. 택시를 탄 후 원래 요 금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사 와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다. 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그 냥 웃게 된다. The other option, is to come to India for a longer stay. There are

numerous NGO’s that offer the chance to come and help in India. It is a place that has people that can really benefit from a little help. The major benefit is a chance to see the heart and soul of the country. While having your VISA extended, so you can still see the attractions India is so well known for. 또 다른 방법은 인도에 좀 더 오래 머무르는 것이다. 인도 에는 구호활동 기회를 제공 하는 비정부기관이 많다. 여 기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들 이 있다. 여행의 가장 큰 장 점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다. 만 약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있 다면, 인도 유명 관광지를 더 둘러 볼 수 있다. Currently, I am visiting an Illam or orphanage in Nilikoltai. In the southern part of India, the people here are doing their best under adverse conditions to raise and

INDIA TRAVEL STORY educate forty children between the ages of twelve and nineteen. The amazing thing is that many of them go on to become successful. India is in a period of intense development, with a new initiative that makes education a right for everyone. Millions of young men and woman have the chance now for a fair and equal opportunity at education. 현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원 에 와 있다. 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들 은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소 년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다 하고 있다. 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다. 지금 인도는 모 든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새 로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다. 이제 수백 만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회 를 가진다.

''London Olympics

2012,''what crosses your mind when you hear this? It is something that everyone has been talking about for many years and now that it is finally round the corner it is very exciting. How is the preparation going? Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summer? Preparations are going very well. I trained well this winter and still have four months to go. I am aiming to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough. I am confident but can’t take anything for granted. What is your daily routine leading up to the main event? Diet/Exercise? I normally train in the mornings and evenings. In between I try to rest, refuel and get treatment to keep my body in one piece. I eat a healthy diet but when I run over

100 miles per week I burn a lot of calories so can eat pretty much whatever I like. Last summer in Daegu showed how much heart and fight you have,when you came back and won the 5,000 metres. This summer with the whole stadium behind you, do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World Record?? Last year was great for me winning a gold and silver in the World Championships. I would love to get on the podium in London. If I can win the gold in front of my home crowd it will be very special. I don’t expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the men’s long distance races – they are usually tactical affairs. Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidence? The indoor season was good. Of course I was disappointed not to win in the World Indoors in Istanbul but it showed that I am in good shape but can’t take anything for granted. It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races. The important thing is to win when it counts in London. Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doors? I will just keep working hard and preparing for the outdoor season. Who do you think will be the athletes to watch out for in the summer apart from the usual

suspects? Any particular even/ duel/match up that you are looking forward to seeing? The good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes. In many events there are great competitions. I have a lot of friends so I will be watching them. Usain Bolt against the world in the 100m. Rudisha v Kaki in the 800m. Vivian Cheruiyot against the Ethiopians in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long distances. Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the marathon on home soil.

Away from the track, how do you feel your beloved Arsenal's season is panning out?It's looking like another trophyless season but Champions League football next season-is this good enough to keep Wenger in his job?? Things looked shaky early on but now we are going well and up to third in the league. I hope this will give the team confidence to build and challenge for silverware next season. Finally, when you look back on your career and its abundance of success, is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildren? I hope to have a lot of things to tell them. Ask me again after London.

ORDERING FOOD Hello there. Have you ever had a difficult time with food delivery? Today I want to tell you how to order some food in your home. That's right, Erin. How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door? If you're the type who likes to order food at home, those menus can be a godsend, but for the rest of us, they are often discarded as simple trash. Why? The food looks good right? And we all know about Korea's super-fast and efficient home delivery system. What's the deal? Intimidated? Scared? Afraid if you dispatch a crazed, scootercruising delivery man he will knock down some local neighborhood kids as he burns rubber on the sidewalks to get your delivery rushed out to you? Actually, ordering food at home over the phone is so much easier than you might think. Erin First things first. Find what you want to order and get your quantities ready. Now, look at the phone number. If the restaurant phone number has eight digits, just enter those digits into your phone and dial them up. But, if the number has only seven digits, you need to enter Daegu's area code (053) first and then initiate the call. Gang Sanggu Nice, Erin. So, you've got the phone number cued up in your phone. It's shaking. You're nervous. Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom. Remember those jitters? Erin HEY! Who's Jenny Sanderson?! You never told me about her!? Gang Sanggu Um.....well, the ajumma on the other end might not slow dance with you at the Spring formal, but she should go easy on you when she hears that sweet, smooth, foreigner voice. Erin Yeah. It's time to call the restaurant. Which expressions can we use in this situation? First of all, give your address, tell them what you want to order, and then ask the price. Look at the chart on p36. It is an easy step-by-step guide that eve n you can follow Sanggu.

FREE KOREAN CLASSES WITH DESC

Learn Korean with DESC was established for those in need to

improve the level of their spoken English ability with help from a number of volunteer teachers. In return for their willingness to give Koreans the great opportunity, DESC is preparing Korean classes focusing on reading, writing, and speaking skills for the volunteer teachers at the office of DESC every Saturday at 3pm. The objective of the course is to equip the teachers with communicative skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing at a basic level in Korean. Just like there is a saying that language is a mirror of culture, language always reflects many aspects of the culture of a country in which the language is used and learning Korean is the best way to know and enjoy this beautiful country, its people, traditions, and culture. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry!!! DESC will be your guide every step of the way. Join us today~~ Most Koreans, from the kids in kindergartens to the high school students, spend a lot of time taking English lessons at schools and private education institutes. A good English fluency is crucial for getting into better colleges and better jobs for many Koreans. But after spending a life time devoted to English proficiency, do Koreans feel that it really pays off? While Koreans would be able to read and understand anything written in English, they often find themselves disappointed when it comes to speaking English. Founded in 2010, with a vision for building better English communication skill, DESC, Daegu English Speaking Club, will help those in desire to be fluent in spoken English have the opportunity to connect with native English speakers. DESC provides English classes every Saturday, 5pm at DESC office located in Samduk-Dong, Jung-Gu. Many qualified volunteer teachers who, by the way, are also eager to learn Korean and exchange their cultures are ready to teach you how to speak English and learn how to speak Korean. We are confident that our classes with language and cultural exchange will not only be able to help you reach your goal of speaking fluent English but contribute to mutual understanding between people from different countries as well, which DESC believes is 38
