NOODLES IN MY BOWL

Written by Brad Piepkorn / Photos by Ivan Broida

NOODLES IN MY BOWLSimply put, authentic Chinese

food and other Asian cuisines can be difficult to find in Korea. Like other countries, Korea puts its own spin on foreign dishes which can be frustrating for well-traveled (or just well-fed) eaters. Thankfully, there is a new restau-rant in Daegu catering to those of us who prefer our Chinese and other Asian cuisine undisturbed by Korean culinary influence.

Noodle Bowl opened its third location on October 10th of this year and has already been making waves as one of the best places in town for modern Asian cuisine. Like its other branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Daegu’s Noodle Bowl is staffed by several foreign chefs—five to be exact. The chefs, hailing from China, India, and Myanmar have all been formally trained in Dubai to recreate the

phenomenal dishes that made its earlier locations famous.

The Daegu location is hard to miss. Positioned right next to the

Beomeo Outback Steakhouse, Noodle Bowl is housed in a big and beautiful three story building with tasteful Asian-fusion décor. The spacious digs can accom-modate up to a hundred people making it a possible host for any big parties or gatherings. There is also a sizeable rooftop patio to be enjoyed during warmer months.

Once you are seated at Noodle Bowl, you are treated to a pot of jasmine tea (which is refilled for free) and a variety of side dishes. Noodle Bowl’s menu of fresh-made dishes is massive. There are approximately 30 variations of its famous Dim Sum alone, split even-ly between steamed and deep fried options. The rest of the menu is divided by main ingredients with between four and eight dishes for beef, chicken, pork, prawn, squid, fish, and crab. All dishes are given

a spice rating so patrons know what they’re getting themselves into. There are also dozens of vegetarian, rice, and noodle-based dishes. There is something on this menu to satisfy just about everybody.

For our review, we had the pleasure of sampling about a dozen of dishes from the expansive menu. Without going into too much detail, every item was excellent. My favorites included the dim sum, the stir fried beef with broccoli, and the stir fried prawn with asparagus. There are also a few delectable deserts to choose from if you still have room after chowing down the entrees.

For the thirsty, worry not. Noodle Bowl has not for-gotten you. The drink menu includes non-alcoholic standards of coffee, cola, and fresh juices. The beer list contains ten different brands including Hoegaarden, Guiness, and Asahi. The most impressive portion of the drink menu, by far, is the whisky selection. A range of bottles are available from Imperial to a Bal-lantine’s 30yrs.

Noodle Bowl is located next to the Outback Steakhouse in Beomeo and is open from 11:30am – 10:00pm daily. Groups larger than five might find it

best to call ahead for a reservation. Noodle Bowl also plans to begin take-out service in the near future, so you can enjoy these amazing modern Asian dishes in the comfort of your own home. Stop by and give Noodle Bowl a try. You won’t leave disappointed.

A SLICE OF BACK HOME


I had discovered Miss. M Pie a couple of years ago thanks to a friend who took me there to

try what she was very sure were the best pies in Daegu. After the first bite, I was convinced. From that day on, I went there regularly and almost always bought the cheese or pecan pies. However, one of those days when I was pass-ing by the shop to get some pies, the place was shut down and there wasn't a sign indicating that they had moved. I was, to say the least, devastated by what I thought was a terrible loss for Daegu.

I was recently called on by the Daegu Compass to review a place that “had great pies”. When I got to the place, and much to my sur-prise, it was Miss. M Pie, at a new location not far from the original

one. It turns out that the owner of the pie shop had been sick for a few months and had to temporar-ily shut down to deal with her illness. Now she is doing much better and is ready to carry on with

selling her great pies. The new place is bigger, more comfortable, and has a couple of tables where the old places only had stools. Now, instead of having to take the pies out, you can eat them at the shop at your own leisure.

Luckily, in spite of the move and illnesses, the pies are just as deli-cious as they were before. I tried their banana pie for the first time, which I wouldn't have chosen on my own since bananas are not my favorite fruit, but I have to admit that I loved it. It had a bit of grated coconut in it which complemented the banana flavor very well. I also tried the cheese pie with blueberry sauce on top, which might be my favorite one of all. The pies are just sweet enough and go great with a cup of coffee,

which they also make there. Some flavors available there are apple, chocolate, strawberry, lemon, and others. The prices for a piece of pie range from 3,500 to 4,500won.

I asked Lee Jung-sook, the owner of Miss. M Pie, where the name of the shop comes from. She told me that the she had wanted to name the place Miss Mister Pie (her husband is the one who actually makes the pies and she is the shopkeeper) but a Korean shoe company was already named Miss Mister so they settled on Miss. M Pie. Her husband, Kim Sang-woo has been working as a baker for 25 years, mostly making bread, but four years ago they decided to switch to pies. This was a great decision, especially for those of us who live in Daegu and have a severe case of sweet-tooth.

Both owners are very pleasant and they always have some samples out for people who come into the shop and are not sure which pie to get. The only problem is that after trying the pies, you may want to buy all of them! They also have a loyalty card for people who buy whole pies.

Miss. M Pie is located downtown, on a small street across from Francesco Café (near Traveler's). It is open daily from 9am to 10pm.

DISLOCATION EXHIBIT AT DAM

DISLOCATION EXHIBITION AT THE DAEGU ART MUSEUM

Submitted by the Daegu Art Museum

Daegu Art Museum (DAM) will have ‘Dislo-cation’ exhibition from

November 20th(Tue.). 11 global artists living in the global village gathered together, and the exhibi-tion shows variety of arts and esthetic character of the same age under the theme of ‘Dislocation'.

The 11 artists( Jeong-a Gu, Byron Kim, Do-ho Seo, Hye-gyu Yang, In-hwan Oh, Hayng-ran Yun, Yeon-du Jeong, Suk-jin Jo, Seong-pil Han, Eun-gyung Heo, Sun-ja Han) were born in Korean and experienced multi-culture and multi-cultural education. And they communicate with people in the world, with globalism sensibility. They catch the changes in present society, culture and arts from their unique point of view. Also, they

are artists of middle standing and invited reputable galleries and collectors.

‘Dislocation’, which means moving from a familiar place to a strange one, is a very common experience in this globalized world, but on the other hand, it means to alienate oneself from their own being. So you can’t get familiar with it psy-chologically. ‘Dislocation’ starts from the meaning of a place but also it’s ultimately about the sense of belonging. It’s closely entangled with one’s house, hometown, root and identity. The 11 artists who have international fame have something in common; from their experience with immigration, their feelings of isolation and their struggle to find their identity. This is prevalent in each artist's piece.

This exhibition shows the success of democracy and economic development, and the trend of society, culture and art which have changed so fast in this information and globalized world. 'Dislocation' exhibits these ideas through 80 pieces of drawings, paintings, films and installation pieces.

Popular culture has already produced many ‘Hanryu’ stars, but it’s strange in the world of art. However, DAM’s ‘Dislocation’ col-lected Korean artists and potential artists are receiving international attention in the art scene as much as any ‘Hanryu’ stars in pop-culture scene.

‘Dislocation’ in DAM is held for 84 days, from November 20th to February 11th 2013.

THE FANTASTIC KIM SUN HEE

Interview and photography by Jess Hinshaw

Recently the Compass had a chance to sit down with Kim Sun Hee, the direc-

tor of the Daegu Art Museum (DAM). Our meeting started with some lovely tea, which Sun Hee prepared for us.

JH: Thank you for taking time to talk with us, I’ve been looking for-ward to this interview for a while.

SH: My pleasure.

JH: Although I love art, as a west-erner I feel like I don’t have a good grasp on who the important artists are in Korea.

SH: To talk about Korean artists, you must first understand Asian artists’ importance in the past. 20 years ago, Japanese artists were in the forefront. After 2000, all of this suddenly changed and the fo-cus moved to China. Now China, which is a country I lived in for 4 years, is the most important. Chi-nese society is a society of chaos yet still affords many great men and amazing intellectuals. Chi-nese artists are very spoiled. For instance, graduate school exhibi-tions have art selling for $50,000! This is for student work?

JH: Why this fascination with Chinese art then?

SH: Well, art has been shifting all the time. After WWII, it shifted from France to New York, and NY became the capital of the world. Slowly, London and the rest of Europe are getting a stronger art market. Now artists have to decide which city to go to. For Asian artists, the art is not from our tradition of ink and sticks. Asian artists started creating art in reference to western painting one century ago. Now, Chinese art is the hottest, [and has] lots of mil-

lionaire artists. It’s very unfair for artists in other countries not to get attention. The western museums decide what is important regard-less of local aesthetics. However, we see very few westerners here [in Asia]…they learn from the in-ternet. Korean artists are still very neglected and not evaluated. They are, in a way, in the middle. Not under exposed but not enough attention either. I’d like to support young talented artists and provide quality art to citizens. I want to

exchange and communicate outside of Korea in a mutual, fair way. There are many great Korean artists but still they remain marginal artists internationally. Without, how do you say…

JH: Attention?

SH: Yes, or evaluation, it’s difficult to continue to go forward.

JH: I feel that’s true for any artist, wherever they are. All artists struggle to be known by a bigger audience.

SH: Korean art is often looked over though.

JH: When you have an artist here how does that start? Does the artist contact you or do you contact them?

SH: First we set up the theme. We research the artists and contact them. Occasionally the artist contacts us. Basically, we already have an idea of how to show the work.

JH: What made me think of this was the recent


continued on p16


Kawamata installation, which was constructed of apple crates.

SH: I’ve been here only for half a year, and the old director sched-uled everything till next February. [When I first got here] I thought, “DAM is big, boring, and has a small audience.” I was shocked. I thought I needed to [add] some spice so I invited Kawamata.

JH: I felt the same. The first time I visited DAM I couldn’t believe what a beautiful space it was, and how few people were here. Do you think Daegu was ready for DAM?

SH: Of course! I think it was too late in a way. Daegu is the 2nd most important city of Korean art, both traditional and contempo-rary. There are lots of collectors in Daegu. When I got in a taxi for the first time and told him [to take me to] Daegu Art Museum, he didn’t know where it was! It’s still really unknown. So I thought I needed a big promotion, and I invited Kawamata. We talked on the phone about what Daegu is, and we chose the apple crates together, and collected boxes from local farmers here. In a way, [the exhibition] moved a lot of citizens here. We had 23 young artists and volunteers help with it. They worked with the artist in creating the sculpture.

JH: Who pays for artists like Kawamata to come to Daegu?

SH: The government funds the museum, and we are very lucky because we don’t have to work on fundraising. Korean public museums are paid for completely by the city.

JH: It’s such an incredible space, I think to convince the same people who build the subway to get on board with a building of beauty would be a huge task.

SH: There are good and bad things though. There are lots of regulations from the city govern-ment, and we must use the budget in the way they want.

JH: One of my favorite parts of the museum is the library. Can you talk about the role it plays here?

SH: We provide exhibitions here, but also lectures and education for artists as well as children on various topics. The museum’s duty is to offer this information to share. Lots of people appreciate it because there is no place else to find this kind of information.

JH: That’s why it’s so impressive

to me, because most libraries have a very narrow offering of art. DAM has done a good job of offering lots of different types of art. The Project Room downstairs always has something interesting in it.

SH: In the beginning [that space] wasn’t meant to be used as an ex-hibition space. It was part of stor-age, but it was too big! We didn’t need it for that. A contemporary art museum needs a flexible space, for all different kinds of artists and media. It is a good space for the experimental. We are planning to have more activities [in the Proj-ect Room] with young artists.

JH: DAM has such a nice balance to offer both contemporary and traditional works.

SH: For the museum this is very important. DAM’s function is to provide high quality art to the

public. We have to be a center for activities—not only art but performances, music…

JH: Education?

SH: Yes, yes. A good museum, by definition, has lots of visitors. Right now we have to work hard to make [DAM] this kind of center. We have to meet people on many different levels.

JH: What is DAM doing to en-gage the foreign population?

SH: I don’t know much about them. I want to invite them to ac-tivities and I want to know about them. I’d like to have all foreigners come here—western, Russian, Chinese, Filipino…I’d love to do something with them. I think it would be great to have Korean

holiday events, like Chuseok, and share them.

JH: With foreigners?

SH: Yes! I did this kind of thing once in Gwangju. We made a nice big fire, and we danced together and prepared nice food. It was wonderful. Have you experienced that kind of thing?

JH: No, that sounds great. Would you be open to foreigners giving lectures and teaching classes in English as a way to engage the foreigners?

SH: Of course. Doing something like that 3 or 4 times a year would be nice.

JH: That would be a great oppor-tunity for the foreign population

to get involved with DAM.

JH: One more question about the museum: What challenges do you have with filling this space? The first floor reminds me of the Tate Modern in London.

SH: The atrium [here] is nearly 20m high. It’s like the core of the museum. Previous exhibitions haven’t actually fit the space very well. I want to use some powerful artists in that space, and you’ll see some of those ideas next year.

JH: I can’t wait to see that. I think your doing an excellent job here.

SH: Thank you. The museum [should be] a center for new ideas and to meet new people, and that is what we are trying to do.

TURANDOT TO TOUR CHINA

TURANDOT TO CHINA One of the masterpieces of Daegu is heading to

Hangzhou and Ningbo in China.Submitted by DIMF / Translated by Bosun Kim

DIMF(Daegu International Musical Festival, 이하 딤프)가 야심차게 준비하여 작년 개막작으로 초연 무대에 이어 올해 공식초청작으로 선보인 뮤지컬 “투란도트”가 문화체육관광부가 공모한 ‘창작뮤지컬육성지원사업’ 해외공연작에 선정되어 올해도 작년에 이어 중국시장에 진출한다.

The musical, “Turandot,” selected as the oversea-performance of “Supporting Project for Creative Musical Fosterage” by Ministry of Culture, is making headway into the Chinese Market this year again, following last year‘s magnificent reviews. Ambitiously prepared by DIMF (Daegu Inter-national Musical Festival), it had first debuted last year on opening night. This year it was the featured musical of the DIMF.

뮤지컬 “투란도트”는 ‘Made In 대구’의 창작 작품으로 세계인이 가장 좋아하는 동명의 오페라를 모티브로 삼아 유희성 연출, 이해제 작가, 장소영 음악감독, 오재익 안무 등 최고의 제작진이 힘을 모아 제작한 작품으로 지난해 제5회 DIMF 개막작으로 초연을 가진 후 올해 제6회 DIMF의 공식초청작으로 다시 한 번 뮤지컬 팬을 만났으며 지난 11월에는 한국 뮤지컬의 심장이라 할 수 있는 서울 무대에서 갈라콘서트를 선보이는 등 그 완성도를 인정 받은 바 있다.

The musical “Turandot,” the creative work of “Made In Daegu,” is a collaborative effort between director Yu Huiseong, writer Lee Haeje, music director Jang

Soyeong and choreography Oh Jaeik. After its first debut as the opening musical of 5th DIMF last year, musical fans could enjoy it again as the official invitation musical. Last November, it was part of the GALA concert series in Seoul, which is the pinnacle of Korean musicals. It has achieved recognition for its completeness.

특히 제5회 대구국제뮤지컬페스티벌의 개막작으로 선보인 초연무대는 전회 매진에 가까운 성과를 올리며 주목을 받았고 올해 초 중국 ‘동관뮤지컬페스티 벌’에 참가해 특별대상을 수상하면서 작품성을 인정받은 바, 또

다시 중국의 러브콜을 받아 뮤지컬 ‘투란도트’에 대한 중국내에서의 인기를 실감 할 수 있다. At the opening of the 5th DIMF, it received rave reviews and nearly sold out. Earlier this year, winning the Special Awards from “Dong-guan Musical Festival” in China, it received recognition for its musical quality. It again became a sought-after musical from China, which showed its popularity.

The musical “Turandot” will be shown in Hangzhou and Ningbo, which has sufficient infrastructure and the huge support and attention from Chinese musi-cal enthusiasts.

박현순 (사)대구국제뮤지컬페스티벌 집행위원장은 “올해 축제 때 대구를 방문한 중국의 바이어들을 중심으로 뮤지컬 ‘투란도트’ 중국 초청공연에 대한 러브콜이 많았다” 며 뮤지컬 ‘투란도트’의 중국진출에 대한 배경을 설명했다. Park Hyeonsoon, the executive chairman of Daegu International Musical Festival explained the back-ground of the musical’s advance into China, saying, “During the period of this year’s festival, “Turandot“ became the most desired one among the Chinese buyers who visited Daegu.”

뮤지컬 ‘투란도트는’ 오는 12월 20일 역사 유물과 자연의 아름다움으로 명성이 높은 도시로 중국에서 가장 아름다운 도시 10개 중 하나로 손꼽히는 항저우시의 대극원에서 열리는 공연을 시작으로 중국의 섬유와 의류산업의 유구한 역사를 자랑하며 해로와 항공로에 이르는 입체적인 교통 인프라가 갖춰져 닝보시의 닝보극원에서 12월 24일 그 화려한 무대를 선보일 예정이다.

Starting December 20th, “Turandot“ will start its performance at Grand Theatre in Hangzhou city whose historic relics and natural beauty has the high reputation and which is regarded as one of the ten most beautiful cities in China. On December 24th, it is expected to show its colorful stage at Ningbo Grand Theatre in Ningbo which is famous for a long and proud history of China’s textile and clothing industries.

강 신성일 (사)대구국제뮤지컬페스티벌 이사장은 “뮤지컬 ‘투란도트’가 두 번째 중국시장 진출이라 거는 기대가 더 크다” 며 “이번 중국 공연에서도 좋은 성과를 거둬 한국 창작뮤지컬 해외진출의 선봉작으로 거듭날 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다.“ 는 소감을 남겼다.

Kang Sin Seongil, the chairman of Daegu Interna-tional Musical Festival, mentioned, “Expectation is higher since this is the second inroad of “Turandot” into China’s Market. This performance in China will gain a great achievement and we will try our best to make “Turandot” be in the vanguard of Korea as it expands its musical culture overseas.

THE ARC - ARTISTIC RIVER CULTURE CENTER

Written and photographed by Emma Thompson

THE ARCthe future of

Art in Daegu

continued on p22

When President Lee Myung Bak was first elected he supported restoration of the four largest

rivers in Korea. Sixty dams have been built through-out Korea. These dams help control the water flow and each dam also creates enough electricity in a year to support 3,000 families for that year. The project also created recreation areas on the river banks, cycle tracks and five art galleries celebrating the dams.

The ARC (or Artistic River Culture Centre) is the largest of these galleries and built to celebrate all 4 of the river projects. It was designed by Architect Hani Rashid, the designer of 166 Perry Street in New York. Mr Rashid and his company Asymptote, have also been commissioned to design the Velo Towers in Seoul and the Solomon Tower in Busan. The idea was to use the flow of the river as inspiration for the design, so the shapes inside and out follow this fluid

theme.

We were lucky enough to be shown around the instal-lation by the River Culture Guide, Bak Jeong Mi. The River Culture Room on the right of the entrance is designed to educate visitors about the 4 rivers project. Each of the exhibits are in Korean and English. You can listen to President Lee Myung Bak speak on the 4 rivers project and his vision for it. You can learn about the inspirational effect the rivers of Korea have had on its people. There is a nook to learn about literature inspired by rivers, and another about art. At the back of the room are two touch screen TV’s. The program on these is designed as a game for children, they can draw lines and move the water around, they will then see reeds growing and water colour changing depend-ing on the way they work with the water. This teaches them the effect of dams and weirs on the river water.

The main hall is surrounded by ‘Welcome men’. This area will be used to show art, it is currently show-ing photographs of family scenes on the various redeveloped river banks around the country. It also has information about how dams are built in Korea. Up the stairs you will find two floors of a meditation area. Sit on cushions and watch the flow of the river

on huge 360° screens and listen to calming music. There is a Cafe Pascucci on the top floor. Out on the roof, there is a small pond and you can look out on the surrounding scenery.

The view is spectacular. On your left, facing South you can see across the city to Apsan mountain, and on the far river bank the newly finished exercise route. Walk-ing down that side of the river you might see rabbits or deer hiding in the wetland grasses and there are roses and traditional flowers depending on the season.

To your right, you look towards Beisulsan Mountain range and on that river bank you can see the new cycle track which now runs a full 15km, the almost complete further extension contines on the opposite side of the river at Hawon Resort. The little Gazebo straight ahead on the small mountain is at the top of the Hawon resort, a great place for a day out.

Behind and to your right is the Gangjeonggoryeong weir, this is a water containment structure which can serve as a dam and can create electricity. This was only recently completed and is already a favourite fishing spot for local cranes and herons.

22


A walk over the river weir will take about 30 min-utes, heading out of the ARC you can follow the cycle path straight there. On the weir itself there are pictures of local wildlife and scenes from the area, there is also information about the building of the weir. The sun sets to the North of the weir and there is a great picture spot right in the middle.

Thanks to this project the rivers around Korea are now a great place for a cycle ride. Very soon you will be able to cycle almost entirely around the outskirts of Daegu and on South to Busan, or following the river North to Gumi. It is hoped that these cycle tracks will entice tourists, they certainly are a great way to see the Korean countryside in peace and quiet. There is a bicycle rental place near the entrance to the ARC.

You can take buses 성서2번, 다사죽곡2리입구, 다사죽곡2리건너 directly to the ARC or the green subway line to Daesil and walk the 1.3 miles south from the subway to the ARC following the river. There is parking at the entrance also. Alternatively hop on your bike and stop off at the ARC for refreshments.

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL INTERNATIONAL CLINIC

A Special Hospital for ObstetricsSpecializing in Thyroid Disease

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

In order to provide a high qual-ity health service to clients, Hyosung Hospital (located in

Joong-Dong, Su-Sung Gu, Daegu) has set up a systematic coopera-tion system by 25 specialists from diverse fields, including surgery, internal medicine, radiology, pedi-atrics, anesthesia and gynecology, and postnatal care. For a more ac-curate and prudent health service, it recently introduced an up-to-date CT, and also runs breast and thyroid clinic, gastroscope and colonoscopy clinic, midlife center for elders’ health, and general check-up center where family members can check their health and receive treatments. The hospi-tal provides a high-quality health service not only for Koreans but also for foreigners at its interna-tional clinic.

Hyosung hospital was selected as the specialized hospital for obstet-rics last year. It carries out numer-ous studies and puts in efforts to provide an amicable health service for patients diagnosed with thy-roid disease, which have become a major disease among women since a few years ago. Thyroid cancer is one of the fastest growing cancers. Patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer show a high survival rate of 95-99%, thus there is no need to show fear if one receives a proper treatment after consulting the specialist.

Furthermore, Hyosung hospital has a competent medical team

with rich university hospital expe-rience, and comprises a one-stop system of examination, diagnosis, cancer surgery, and recuperation.

효성병원(대구시 수성구 중동)은 고객님들께 양질의 의료서비스 제공을 위해 외 과, 내 과, 영상의학과, 소아청소년과, 마취통증의학과, 산부인과, 산후조리원 등의 과목별 전문의 25명이 체계적 협진시스템을 갖추고 있다. 보다 정확하고 세심한 의료서비스 제공을 위해 최근 첨단 CT(컴퓨터단층촬영)를 도입을 하고 갑상선.유방 센터, 위.대장내시경 센터, 중년의 건강을 위한 미드라이프 센터(Midlife Center), 온 가족의 건강

Thyroid disease and thyroid cancerThyroid is a butterfly-shaped or-gan situated in the front below the neck. It is a small organ less than 20g. Thyroid hormones are made from this area, which control metabolism by affecting several organs and cells in our body.

Some thyroid diseases are thyroid dysfunction, which results from unusual amounts of hormones, and thyroid nodule, which devel-ops a lump on the thyroid. These diseases can be diagnosed through blood tests, x-rays, and micronee-dle therapy system.

Thyroid hormone plays an im-portant role especially during the embryo, infant and child stage, as it helps to develop and grow vari-ous organs in the body. A lack of thyroid hormone may cause fatal aftereffects. A pregnant woman should check if her thyroid is functioning well.

Thyroid cancer is the most com-mon cancer found in Korean women. Usually, it is known as a mild cancer as it grows slowly and leaves a moderate prognosis stage. However, the recuperation may vary depending on how much a patient retains the shape and function of normal cells. In case of papillary carcinoma, medullary thyroid cancer, and undifferenti-ated carcinoma, recuperation and treatment are rather difficult.

◆ 갑상선 질환과 갑상선암갑상선은 목 앞쪽 아래쪽에 나비모양으로 생긴 기관이다. 20g도 안되는 작은 작은 기관이다. 이곳에서 갑상선 호르몬이 만들어진다. 이 호르몬은 우리 몸의 여러 기관과 세포에 작용해 신진대사를 조절한다.

갑상선 질환에는 호르몬의 양이 정상보다 많거나 적은 기능이상과 갑상선에 혹이 생기는 갑상선 결절이 있다. 해당 질환은 혈액검사, 영상검사, 미세침 흡인 세포검사 등을 통해 진단할 수 있다.갑상선 호르몬은 특히 태아 및 영유아기에 중요한 역할을 한다. 몸의 여러 기관이 생기고 성장하는 것을 돕기 때문이다. 이때 갑상선 호르몬이 부족하면 치명적 후유증이 올 수 있다. 임신을 하면 임부의 갑상선 기능이 정상인지 확인해야 한다.

갑상선암은 우리나라 여성암중 발생률 1위다. 보통 천천히 자라고 예후가 좋은 ‘착한 암’으로 알려져있다. 하


지만 정상세포의 모양과 기능을 어느 정도 갖추고 있느냐에 따라 예후는 달라질 수 있다. 수두암이나 미분화암의 경우 예후가 좋지 않고 치료도 어렵다.

How do you know if you have thy-roid cancer? ◆ 혹시 내가 갑상선암?

Q1. Should I check for thyroid cancer if I'm tired for no reason? Thyroid cancer does not have a distinct symptom most of the time. It is not related to fatigue, lack of desire, and lethargy. However, patients with hypothy-roidism may experience fatigue, lethargy and cold, so it is advised that you visit the nearest hospital and get an examination when you feel too tired without any special reason.

Q1. 이유없이 피곤하면 갑상선암을 의심해야 하나?“갑상선암은 뚜렷한 증상이 없는 경우가 대부분이다. 피곤하고 의욕이

없으며 무기력한 증상과는 관련이 없다. 갑상선 기능저하증이 있으면 피곤하고 기운이 없으며 추위를 잘 타는 증상이 있을 수 있으므로 특별한 이유 없이 많이 피곤할 때 가까운 병원을 방문하여 갑상선 검사를 받는 것이 도움이 된다.”

Q2. Are patients with thyroid can-cer not allowed to eat seaweed?Seaweed, seafood such as clams and shrimps, bay salt, and milk contain plenty of iodine that is used to produce hormones in the thyroid. Iodine does not neces-sarily cause thyroid cancer, and there is no need for the patient to restrict iodine-high food except when he/she is receiv-ing an isotope treatment after surgery. However, in case of iodine deficiency, the thyroid cannot smoothly produce hormones and may swell as its cells expand to supplement for the deficiency. On the other hand, it is not a problem for normal people to overdose

on iodine, but patients diagnosed with thyroid disease must be care-ful as doing so may induce thyroid hyperthyroidism.

Q2. 갑상선암 환자는 김, 미역, 다시마 같은 해조류를 먹으면 안 된다는데?“김, 미역, 다시마같은 해조류와 조개와 새우 등의 해산물, 천일염, 우유 등에는 갑상선에서 호르몬을 만들어 내는 원료인 요오드라는 성분이 많이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 요오드가 갑상선암을 유발하는 것은 아니다. 또한 갑상선암 환자가 수술 후 방사성 동위원소 치료를 받을 때를 제외하고는 평상시 요오드가 많이 들어있는 식품을 제한해야 할 필요는 없다. 단 요오드가 부족한 경우 갑상선이 원활하게 호르몬을 만들어 내지 못하고 이를 보충하기 위해 갑상선 세포가 비대해지면서 갑상선이 부풀어 오를 수 있다. 반대로 요오드를 과잉으로 섭취하는 경우 정상인에게는 큰 문제가 되지 않지만, 갑상선 질환이 있는 환자에게는 갑상선 기능항진을 유발할 수 있으므로 주의해야 한다.”

26


Q3. What are some thyroid dis-eases that occur during pregnancy?Pregnant women should be especially careful about thyroid diseases, as thyroid hormones play a decisive role in the development of the embryo’s brain. Many times, pregnant women may mistake symptoms of thyroid dysfunction with that of common pregnancy symptoms. If we look at the psychological change of thyroid in pregnant women, globulin combined with thyroid propa-gates while thyroid-stimulating hormones dwindle. Also, as the iodine uptake of an embryo increases, the iodine value of the mother’s plasma decreases. For these reasons, a pregnant woman’s recommended intake is higher than that of typical adults. Some might experience an increase in the

thyroid’s size due to a decrease in iodide inside the plasma, but it will return to normal after pregnancy. About 0.05% of pregnant women experience hypothyroidism while 0.25% of them exhibit hyperthy-roidism. Postpartum thyroiditis, which occurs due to hormone un-balance within 1 year of pregnancy, can be experienced by 6~9% of women who have no record of thyroid disease. Postpartum thy-roiditis is an auto-immune system and can be improved without any special drug delivery. On the other hand, one may not recover from hypothyroidism and may need to receive thyroid hormone medicine for the rest of one’s life.

Q3. 임신과 동반된 갑상선 질환으로는 어떤 것이 있나?“임신부는 특별히 갑상선 질환에 유의해야 한다. 갑상선 호르몬이 태아의

뇌 발달에 결정적인 역할을 하기 때문이다. 하지만 임신부는 일반적인 임신의 증상과 혼동돼 갑상선 기능에 문제가 생겨도 발견이 어려울 때가 많다. 임신부에게서 관찰되는 갑상선의 생리적 변화를 살펴보면, 임신 초기에는 갑상선 결합 글로블린은 증가하고 갑상선 자극 호르몬은 감소한다. 또 태아의 요오드화물 사용량이 증가하면서 산모의 혈장 내 요오드 수치가 감소하게 된다. 이러한 이유로 임신부의 요오드 하루 섭취권장량이 일반성인 기준보다 높다. 일부에서는 임신중 혈장 내 요오드화물의 감소로 인해 갑상선의 크기가 증가하게 되지만 분만 후에는 대부분 정상적인 크기로 돌아오게 된다. 임신부중 0.05%에서 갑상선 기능저하증 소견을 보이고 0.2%에서는 갑상선 기능항진증을 보이게 된다. 출산 후 1년 이내 갑상선 호르몬의 균형이 깨져 발생하는 산후 갑상선염은 갑상선 질환의 과거력이 없는 여성도 6~9%에서 발생할 수 있다. 산후 갑상선염은 자가 면역 질환이므로

continued on p28


갑상선 기능항진증은 특별한 약물 투여없이 스스로 좋아지는 반면 갑상선 기능저하증은 일부에서는 회복이 안 되어 평생 갑상선 호르몬 약을 투약할 수도 있다.

When a thyroid tumor is discov-ered during pregnancy, many worry over whether it is okay to undergo a checkup for thyroid cancer. The most fundamental checkups such as ultrasound, microneedle cytoscopy, and thyroid gland function test do not affect the embryo and can be done rather safely. Even if thyroid can-cer is found during pregnancy, one can receive equal treatment that is done by non-pregnant people. Also, even if a woman undergoes a thyroid cancer surgery, she can give birth without any particular concern. As long as she pays attention to the rules, both the embryo and the mother would not be harmed.

Expert surgeon Mi-Sun Kim said, “Regardless of race, recuperation is easy for thyroid cancer so it is important that you consult a spe-cialist at a hospital with a well-knit cooperative medical system.”

For such reasons, Hyosung Hospital aims to go above just an ordinary obstetrics specialized hospital, and to improve its medi-cal quality in the department of surgery (thyroid/breast cancer) and the department of internal medicine (stomach/large intestine endoscope).

임신중 갑상선에 종양이 발견된 경우, 갑상선암에 대한 검사를 해도 괜찮은지 걱정을 많이 한다. 검사들 중 가장 기본적이고 중요한 검사인 초음파, 미세침흡입 세포검사, 갑상선 기능 검사는 태아에 영향을 주지 않으면서 안전하게 시행할 수 있다. 임신중에 갑

상선암이 발생했더라도 임신을 하지 않은 다른 사람들과 비슷하게 치료할 수 있다. 또한 갑상선암으로 수술받은 경우에도 별다른 걱정 없이 임신을 할 수 있어 적절하게 주의만 기울이면 태아와 산모 모두에게 나쁜 영향을 주지 않는다.”

외과 전문의 김미선과장은 “갑상선암 치료는 동서양 인종에 상관없이 잘짜여진 협진의료체제를 갖춘 전문병원을 찾아 전문의와 상의하면 예후가 좋으니 걱정말고 병원을 찾으시면 된다”고 말했다. 이렇듯 효성병원 산부인과전문병원을 넘어 외과(갑상선/유방)적, 내과(위/대장내시)적 진료도 산부인과전문병원 못지않게 의료 질 향상을 위해 오늘도 변화와 발전을 꿈꾸고 있다.

“Do not hesitate to visit us even if you do not speak Korean.”Hyosung Hospital was designated as the leading health care organiza-tion for foreigners in Daegu. It accommodates an efficient and

systematic cooperative system of 25 specialists from different fields. Its international clinic is open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.

KOREAN SOUVENIR SHOP IN SEOMUN MARKET

Written and photographed by Jen O Grady and Erik Liimatta

a LITTLE GEM IN SEOMUN MARKET

It’s that time of the year again; when everyone leaves their Christmas shopping to the last

minute and then realises how dif-ficult it is to find Korean souvenirs for the folks back home!

The day after Thanksgiving can send chills down the spine of even the most fervent of shoppers due to the swarm of wild-eyed moth-ers and their children looking for “deals,” but Seomun Market on the weekend is a comparable reminder of what Christmas shop-ping might be like back home. The narrow rows are packed with tiny, steaming market restaurants, racks

of clothing, toys, hardware, and pretty much everything you could find at a flea market anywhere in the world. Daegu is famous for textiles, so any venture indoors might blind you with the sheer amount of patterns and color emanating from the never ending rows of fabric. There is no short-age of stimulation, but be careful lest you be run over by a stampede of people surely coming your way. Regardless, a good couple hours worth of shopping will surely turn up at least a few random gift ideas.

But the real gems of the market, and one that is particularly suited to the foreigner living abroad, are the Korean traditional gift

shops smattered around the market. It is common for foreigners to think they need to wander up to Seoul in places like Insadong or Itaewon to find Korean gift items. But this, as it turns out, is un-necessary as there are a handful of quality Korean gift shops located right here at the market. These shops, generally located indoors, offer items that are very difficult to come by in other areas of the city. Things like traditional fans, wood carvings, wooden masks, statues, beautiful handmade chopsticks, mother-of-pearl jewelry chests (Na-jeonchirgi), handbags, as well as the standard key chains and postcards.

Finding this shop can be difficult, but thanks to a new numbering system, it as simple as asking for kimchi in a Korean restaurant. The quaint stall named ‘대동사’, number 907 is located in the second main building just after the tiny Angel-in-Us coffee shop.

This is a stall comprised completely of traditional (not one PSY image to be seen), mostly hand-made, Korean souvenirs. While browsing I noticed


for sale, among other things, pens, chopstick sets, beautiful handheld mirror sets, Taekwondo figures, beer mats, cool coin sets, fans; and the usual keyrings, magnets, socks etc. What stood out as a really great gift for moms or sisters were these beau-tiful jewellery boxes decorated with stained cut glass designs, and the numerous rainbow- colored purses and clutches. For dads, there were really interesting framed paintings, and some traditional ‘Hahoe’ masks, which ive been told are now used as

symbols of good luck!

Finding this hidden treasure is a bit of a hunt, but here my best efforts at detailed directions!

Take the bus to Keimyung Universi-ty Hospital, walk through the market entrance directly across from the hospital itself, walk until you pass the ‘Angel in Us’ until you see small orange signs with 4지 구 on them, go down that side street and you should see a big blue sign reading ‘4지 구종

합 상 가’. The stall is indoors on the left hand side of this street under a door with a sign reading ‘Elizabeth Canival’, once inside just look for stall 907. Easy!

If you take the take the subway you will end up at the main entrance, just follow all the small colored signs with numbers on until you locate the 4’s. From there you just look for the blue sign, as described above, and you will see the entrance door! It takes a little bit of searching but I do think it’s worth it, especially be-cause all the trinkets (magnets, pens) all ranged from ￦2,000 – 5,000, while the larger items like purses and pictures varied from ￦25,000 – 70,000; all were light enough not to cost too much in postage fare too!

Contact details for 대동사 are 010-4756-0333 or 010-4758-0333.

Enjoy your Christmas shopping!

E-WORLD - AN AMUSING AMUSEMENT PARK

Written and photographed by Chris Anderson

E-WORLDAs autumn winds down and

winter makes itself felt across the Korean penin-

sula, the time for venturing far out of town to have a day out is fast coming to an end – for those that are not fans of winter at least.If you are looking to have a great time in Daegu without travelling for hours on the bus or subway then it is highly recommended that you spend a day at Daegu’s amusement park E-World,

E-World, formerly known as Woobang Tower Land (after a construction company, I am told), is quite a comprehensive amuse-ment park. According to the Ko-rean Tourism website E-World has 31 rides, ranging from fun rides for the kids to heart-wrenching rides for the big kids. One of the really great things about the park is that the queues are not really long, so waiting time between rides is not bad at all. Some of the most popular rides are the Flume ride, the Viking, the Tambourine (why this is popular baffles me!) and pretty much all 3 of the roller coasters.

As you enter the park from the main entrance, (located a few hundred meters south of subway line 2 – Duryu Station) you will notice you have two options – take the walkway that is lined with

flowers and photo opportunities, or take the cable car to the base of Duryu Tower. I personally prefer the cable car as it gives you a good idea of E-World’s layout, plus you get some really good views from way up in the air. The walkway will

lead you towards the children’s section of the park, and from there you can walk through the outdoor food court or take a left and check out the grass slide in the corner of the park. In the winter months they transform this slide in to a

snow slide, so be sure to pack your winter jackets and prepare to have fun!

One of the most striking things that you will notice about E-World is the number of families that can be seen strolling along the well manicured walkways. There are many restau-rants for the hungry and there is quite a wide range of food, consider-ing you are in an amusement park. They do have many kiosks dotted around the park that sell beverages (no “drunken” people are allowed on the rides, so alcohol is more difficult to come by) and other light snacks, and they also allow you to take your own food in to the park. So if you have something in mind for lunch, or would like to have a picnic under the trees, be sure to pack your picnic bags.

If you are going to be going to the park with young children, you should note that many of the more dangerous rides do have a height requirement of 100cm, or 120cm. Even though your children will not be able to go on many of the thrill rides, E-World is still an excellent place for a family to spend the day. There are many rides and activi-ties designed specifically for small children. There is a theater where you can watch performances throughout the day (you might have to wait some time for the next show if you miss one) and they have a decent mini-zoo, too. The zoo is on the far south side of the park and you can see quite a few small animals, and you can even buy some carrots to feed to the rabbits and sheep that are milling around the zoo.

Another major attraction at the park is Duryu Tower (aka 83 Tower/Woobang Tower). You can go up to the observation deck for a small fee (of around W5000), or if you are lucky you might not even pay at all. At just over 200m tall the tower of-fers excellent views of the city and for those of you looking for a different kind of restaurant, you could give La Vista a try. They are located right at the top of the tower, and are open from 13:00 until 10:30. Please call them ahead of time if you are planning to eat here, just to make sure they are open and have available seating.

There is an ice rink in the tower, as well as a trick art museum. The ice rink and trick art museum do charge extra for entering, even if you have an all-day pass for E-World. For those who go skating, there is a small food court right outside the rink so you can be sure of getting some hot coffee and the odd snack or two.

All in all it is a great place to spend the day, getting your head bashed around or just relaxing on the carousel. I highly recommend a trip to Daegu’s only real amusement park.

Entrance prices range from W7,000 (for kids) through to W28,000 (for adults with full access to all rides).

TIPS FOR A WARMER WINTER

Written by Sanita SaengvilayTIPS FOR A WARMER WINTER

You’ll be glad to know that though Daegu is the hottest city in South Korea, it actually isn’t the coldest city. The mountainous basin that

it lies in does bring in cold breezes, but not so much snow. Sorry, if you were hoping for a white Christmas. The average temperature in winter is around 1.5˚C (29˚F), but can easily drop down to -10˚C at night. It is predicted that this winter is going to be worse com-pared to the years prior. So if this is your first winter in Korea or your first winter in general, here are some tips on staying warm in the winter.

#1 Stay inside! If you HAVE to go outside, make sure to protect your extremities including your ears, neck, hands and feet. It’s time to invest in a good pair of ear muffs, a scarf, gloves and those socks that are essentially sweaters for your feet. If you could actually make it so that none of your skin is being exposed to the cold then that’s even better.

#2 Layers on Layers on LayersYou should wear lots of layers. You’ve never owned a pair of long johns? Well, it’s time to get a pair. Ladies, you can use those ever so versatile leggings. You’re going to need to wear them to bed, to work, and when you go out. You could also just pile up by wearing a long sleeve tee, a sweater, a cardigan and a coat. Don’t forget to double up on socks too!

#3 When in Korea, do as the Koreans doYou will observe a lot of things that Koreans do in the winter such as wear medical masks. You thought that was to stop from spreading germs? Nope, it’s great for keeping your nose warm too! Bubble jackets, those things aren’t just trendy; they are essentially walking saunas that wrap around your body. Lastly, instant heat packets, also known as a Hot Pack (핫 팩) are most commonly used by students. You can buy them at most stores including Homeplus, Emart, and Daiso. They usually sell for 2000\ for a pack of two. You shake them to start the chemical reaction and they last for up to 8 hours.

#4 Eat and drink warm foods and beveragesIf there is something Korea is plentiful of, besides

kimchi, it’s soups. Try them all, I like 김치찌개(Kimchi Stew) and 갈비탕(Rib Soup), or if you’ve always wanted to bust out that family recipe of chicken noodle soup. This is the best time to warm the body with a hearty warm meal. What else is this season great for? Drinking coffee, tea, and hot cocoa and it feels nice holding it too.

#5 Stay active and healthy.This one is a bit cheesy, but it’s true. I know you’ll be tempted to hibernate and put on that extra layer of fat, but don’t! Having a healthy heart and exercising is the best way to keep all that blood flowing to keep you warm.

Extra fun fact: Skip adding Bailey’s to your coffee. Many say drinking alcohol is a great way to stay warm or as people say, an “alcohol coat.” In reality, it dilates your blood vessels, bringing blood to your skin surfaces making you look and feel “hot,” but really you are losing heat. So if someone tells you to take that whiskey shot to stay warm, you tell them, “It’s an illusion, Michael!”

SAVE ON WINTER GAS BILLS

I just got my December gas bill: a whopping 47 bucks. Not entirely unreasonable,

considering that some people spend double that per month on phone bills, but then again, it’s just slightly less than what I spent in total from May through Novem-ber. Not to mention that last year I apparently used twice as much gas in January as in December, meaning that next month I may have to fork over 100 bucks. That’s five percent of my salary, or the equivalent of 20 meals out at my favorite restaurant. I’ve been racking my brain, and my friends’,

for ways to avoid such a catastrophe. Here’s what we’ve come up with:

1) Window blockers. Everyone knows better than to leave windows open, but sometimes even double-paned windows that are locked tight still let in a bit of a breeze. If this is the case in your place, and if you’ve got access to the area outside your window, consider putting up one of these plastic sheets that keep the cold out and the heat in. You

can buy them at HomePlus (usually around the automo-tive section), and all they take to install is some tape and a hairdryer. You’ll feel the difference im-mediately.

2) Limit the area you heat. If you live in a studio, lucky you, you can ignore this one, but if you’ve got spare rooms, go have a look at your boiler. You can remove the metal case cov-ering the pipes that come out of the bottom,

fiddle with some valves, and turn off the heating to the rooms you don’t use. It may take you a few tries to figure out exactly what’s what, but a cold shower or two never hurt anyone, right?

3) Speaking of which, if you’re daring enough, incorporate more cold into your shower. Your hair and head aren’t all that sensitive, so it’s definitely pos-sible to do your shampoos cold, provided you contort your body just-so and avoid getting it wet.

4) Get low, get local. Forget couches, beds, and dining room tables. Eat, sleep, and play on the floor, closest to the source of the heat.

5) Turn down the tempera-ture. This should be a no-brainer, but just in case: have a look at what you’re wearing . If you’re in your underwear, something’s wrong. High temperature dif-ferentials make the outside feel colder, and also make you more likely to catch colds. 20C (68F) is the suggested indoor winter temperature in many parts, but

The Gassiest Months Are Yet to Come

SAVE ON WINTER GAS BILLS

I’ve found that guests don’t start complaining until about 17C (63F), and even as low as 13C (55F) is bearable for someone as

stingy and environ-mental as myself.

6) Layer up! Again, com-mon sense, but sometimes the convenience of pushing the “up” button a few times makes us forget that it’s just as easy to put on another pair of socks. Or two. I recently discovered that it’s entirely possible to wear two hoodies simultaneously, and have even received a few compli-ments on the look. (Admittedly, that may say more about my usual attire than about anything else.) Long undies, parkas, and gloves aren’t only for the slopes.

7) Eat hot food. If you consider yourself cu-linarily adventurous, take the opportunity to try

your hand at porridges, roasted or steamed veggies, soups, and stews.

There are surely a ton of other strategies out there – if you’ve got any to share, don’t hesitate to drop in on the Daegu Green Living Facebook group, or visit the blog at http://noksaeksari.blogspot.com. Keep an eye out for updates on organic shops, vegetarian-friendly restaurants, and monthly Eco-Film Nights!

LOVE AND DATING IN DAEGU

Written by Simon Swain

LOVE AND DATING IN DAEGU

Now that Pepero Day is safely behind us, we can start to prepare for the next official day of loving and giving - Valentine's Day. To

celebrate, the DTT wants your love stories. We want you to tell us your thoughts and experiences of love, romance, flings, one-nighters (anonymously) so that the marvellously creative folks in the planning team at the Daegu Theatre Troupe can use those ex-periences to create a unique performance to be staged just before Valentine's Day. Love and dating in Daegu is an adventure in itself. From late night rendezvous to expiration-dating, all the way to marriage, our experiences are endless and we invite you to share them with us…anonymously, of course. We don't want to put anyone out on the street, so please leave out any incriminating informa-tion that might identify the parties involved or leave

your belongings scattered on the side-walks. After all it is a secret and we want it to remain that way. Once we have collected all of your thoughts, feelings, and stories we will then create an entire performance based on yours and our own love adventures. The show will be performed in February just in time for Valentine’s Day. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at any time. Submissions can be of any size and format. Whether it’s a one-liner, a short story, random thoughts, poem, song or budding novel please feel free to submit with confidence. To prevent losing your draft, it is a good idea to compose your story in a text editor (like Microsoft Word) and then copy/past it into the form. Thank you for sharing! ENTRIES TO: http://daegutheatre.org/lovesecret The new show for Valentine’s Day will be the platform for the 2013 calendar so please come send in your ideas, keep checking future copies of the Daegu Compass and the Daegu Theatre Troupe website for updated details and come and give some of your spare time!

DAEGU CULTURE AND ARTS CENTER

DAEGU FIGHTCLUB

Written by Nick Heroux / Photo submitted by Nick Heroux

IT’S TIMMMEEEEE! FightClub SK"Are you interested in learning

martials arts in Asia, but don’t know where to start? Would

you like to get involved in a sport but aren’t really into Softball or Frisbee? Maybe you’re trying to get healthier but need impetus, something to work towards? Are you an experienced martial artist looking to round out your game? Maybe you just really like the UFC and would like to learn more about mixed martial arts (MMA)?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then you might want to check out the Daegu Fight Club. Contrary to the name, the club’s main goal is to facilitate learning and growth in Daegu’s martial artists. The club serves as a place for the experienced to meet up and trade techniques and knowledge with fighters of differ-ent backgrounds. It serves as a safe atmosphere for beginners to be introduced to a variety of martial arts styles and disciplines. It also serves as a open training space for fighters to work on skills and drills they don’t get to practice often and to spar with people of differ-ing backgrounds.

The club is open to anybody, of any style or skill level. The club is open to men, women, Koreans, and foreigners. There is a strict code of behavior for all partici-pants, stressing sportsmanship, respect, and an openness to new ideas and learning. Sparring is

–NOT- mandatory. However, if your goal is to become a compe-tent martial artist, they stress the importance of sparring, as learn-ing to defend yourself without it is akin to “learning to swim in an inflatable kiddie pool.”

The average session begins with a cardio warm up with basic tum-bling and mobility drills thrown in. This is followed by three to four skill drills, which can utilize techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Folk

style and Greco-Roman Wrestling, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, or Sanshou Kung Fu. Often times, the drills will utilize combinations of these arts. The drills range in degree of contact but participants are free to sit out any drills in which they may be uncomfortable. The session is usually ended with free sparring, in which any member can spar in the format of their choice (Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Sanshou, MMA) at the level of contact they are comfortable with. This time

46

DAEGU FIGHTCLUB

is also an opportunity to ask questions about various moves and scenarios.

Longtime members or experienced fighters are en-couraged to try “the Brick” at least once during their stay with the club. The Brick is a challenge in which one fighter enters the ring for five minutes, and must fight five different fighters for one minute each under full contact MMA rules. So while the main fighter grows more and more fatigued, the other fighters come in fresh and ready to take the fight to them. The Brick is a test of ones’ cardio fitness, striking, grappling and overall adaptability to different situa-tions that may arise during combat. The Brick is not generally open to beginners, but it is something that is emphasized as a goal, should a member really commit themselves to martial arts over the course of the year. The Brick encapsulates the goal of Fight Club, not to get in fights or hurt others, but to become a well-rounded, adaptable martial artist at the peak of your physical condition.

The club, started by Nick Heroux in 2008, is home to experienced martial artists of many backgrounds and

disciplines, but the average member is either a begin-ner, or someone who started as a beginner, discovered they preferred a certain martial art style, and began training in that style during the week. A number of foreigners in Daegu competing in Muay Thai or Bra-zilian Jiu Jitsu competitions were initially beginners who discovered their love of martial arts with the club.

With regards to Fight Club’s plans for the future Nick said,

“We want to see member start as beginners and gradu-ate to full MMA sparring. More importantly though, we want to become well known as a great place to meet good friends and as a way to avoid spending all of one’s time in Korea in a soju induced catatonia.” General Info: The club meets every Saturday at 12:45 PM at the Daegu MMA gym near the Jukjeon subway stop, line2, exit 4. Anyone interested should feel free to join the FB page “FightClub SK or call or text Nick at 010-7637-7783 for more information.Also, it is more than ok for people to come and simply watch if they would like.

DAEGU’S TIME TO GIVE - GIFT APPEAL 2012

DAEGU’S TIME TO GIVE ~Give a Gift Appeal 2012

Submitted by Daegu’s Time to Give Rebecca Baker

As the festive season fast ap-proaches and we think of time away from our loved

ones, many of us think of finding a distraction and channelling our energy into something new. The Give a Gift Appeal 2012 is the perfect way to boost your festive spirit and do something different before the end of the year. Anyone can get involved, it takes hardly anytime and most of all you will be making a difference in a child or young person's life. The idea is simple: many disadvantaged children do not receive what we take for granted at this time of year and it can often be a lonely time for them. Orphanages and welfare centres throughout Daegu need our help. We have set up the ap-peal in order to give the children a small token for the end of the year, bring a smile to their faces and remind them that there are people out there who care!

After the huge success of last year’s appeal, with over 190 children re-ceiving gifts, we hope we can make this year’s appeal even bigger and better. We were overwhelmed last year with the amount of support we received and had to take on an additional two orphanages to meet the demands of our kind-hearted and generous volunteers. We want to spread the word of our project to as many people as possible and hope you can help us to do that.

Over a year ago, three Daegu Na-tive English Teachers decided to make the most of their time here and give back to the commu-nity. The Daegu’s Time To Give organisation was set up with the ultimate aim of helping disadvan-taged children in the Daegu area, strengthening the bonds between the local community and the large expat community with sustainable projects. Through volunteering, fundraising and increased aware-ness, we hope to bring happiness to children and young people, and make their lives a little bit more special. We now have a strong army of volunteers who participate in both regular and one-off volunteering placements, and events such as speed dating have helped to raise much needed money for the orphanages and welfare centres we work with. The Give a Gift Appeal is one easy way for you to get involved and make a

difference!

So if this sounds like the kind of thing you want to get involved with, keep reading! Give a Gift Appeal instruc-tions:

1) Come along to one of our designated meeting points and pick up a gift bag. The gift bag will include details of your given child’s age and gender, and further instructions and guidelines.2) Take the bag away and fill it with gifts. We ask that there is a 20,000 won spending limit to make it fair for all children. Think of items such as pens, pencils, socks, jewellery, winter accesso-ries, candy, toys etc.3) Return your bag to us at an-other meeting time! We will then deliver the gifts to the children over the festive period.

FRIENDLY REMINDER

WHY PETS DON’T MAKE GOOD GIFTS (A KAPS REMINDER)

Wrtiten and photographed by Emma Thompson

Has your child already be-gun to nag about getting them a puppy? Are you

the one wondering if you should get yourself a puppy for Christ-mas? Every year around this time millions of animals are bought as gifts. And every January millions of animals are brought to shelters after being discarded by their new owners.

The average dog or cat lives 15 years, Rabbits 8-12 years if prop-erly cared for. Even hamsters live 3 years or so. Any prospective owner needs to consider if they have the time, energy and money to care

for an animal for the whole of its life before they buy it.

Living in South Korea we have a whole extra set of issues. Firstly many dogs in pet stores have come from puppy mills. These places are not clean and the animals are not vaccinated. The puppies are removed from their mothers far too early. This means they tend to have serious illnesses (PARVO and Distemper are the most com-mon) and often have socialization problems because they didn’t spend enough time with their litter mates.

Once the puppy is home it will need vet care, medicine, training, and accoutrements (bed, bowls, food, flea treatment, worming treatment, even clothing if you’re into that). Training itself can turn into a nightmare for working peo-ple. Your puppy is home alone for 8 hours a day, and he isn’t watch-ing TV! You might need to crate train him, you will need to house train him, then socialization so he is good with people and animals, basic ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ commands. All of this can take anything from weeks to months.

And it doesn’t end there. As you

aren’t in Korea forever you also need to consider how to get your new pet home. What are your country’s import laws? Which vaccinations are compulsory? Do you need a Health Certificate? What about blood tests? Now, even just to come into Korea you need a blood test, which can take 3 months. For countries like the UK it can take as much as 6 months to prepare your animal to leave. You need to consider all of this before you buy your pet.

Better still, don’t buy one at all. Wait until after Christmas, really think about it and if you still believe you and your family are ready for a new addition, come to KAPS and adopt instead. Many animals at KAPS are already house trained. They are older, so less likely to have terminal diseases and the tireless energy of a puppy or kitten. Almost all of the animals we see at KAPS are extremely friendly, and love people and children. We will help you choose an animal that suits your family and situation and help out if you have any questions at any time in their lives.

This year, please remember the timeless Dogs Trust catch phrase: A dog is for life, not just for Christmas.

ANDONG ARCHERY TOUR

ANDONG ARCHERY TOURWritten by Gary Lynn/ Photos by Kimberly Smith

Well it all started like most Daegu Compass tours do

at 8am in front of Banwoldang Station exit 17. There we met up with the leader of the tour, Ha Mi Yong and her assistant Yujeong Lee. These are some nice, friendly ladies who translate and answer any and all questions throughout the tour.

Once everyone arrived, we were off heading north for about an hour and a half. Our first stop was Andong’s Jeowoori Theme Village. We met Tae-Jeong Usom, a nice lady who had us pick which mask we wanted to decorate. With our mask, we received some colored clay that looked like tiny dippin dots (ice cream). The clay colors were basic black, white, red, blue and yellow. The cool part was that you could mix the different colors to make another color. Blue

ARCHERY TOUR

and red made purple while blue and yellow made green. Well when we finished, there were some interesting designs and colors. Everyone enjoyed what we had created, but it was time for lunch and we were getting hungry. We drove about 6km for some real BBQ. The res-taurant we stopped at was impressive. There were several hundred kimchee pots varying in size, from 12” to 72” in front of the restaurant. We walked up the driveway, looked back down the hill and it looked like a sea of pots. We walked through the restaurant into the back where they had set up a special area just for us. The cook had already started cooking the pork, turning it with a small shovel, with an open flame under it. Real BBQ! The food was terrific! Everyone had eaten and was full and satisfied. Back to the bus but before we got on, a photo op. Some of us took pictures of the pots, with the pots and even on the pots. Still others took pictures on the fiberglass cow in front of the pots by the road. (Mike, Greg & I) Silly men having fun! Our next stop was a place where we learned to draw calligraphy style art, while we were wear-ing traditional Korean hats. Mr. Yeong-jun Kim was extremely nice and friendly. Once we finished painting, he had us go outside to shoot traditional Korean bows. We all had a turn at archery. It was fun shooting at a picture of a tiger, a deer and a boar (wild pig). After saying good-bye to our host,

continued on p54

ARCHERY TOUR

we were headed to Andong Hahwe village. We got off the bus then started up this trail that was a little steep but not that difficult to climb. At the end of the trail, there was this awesome view of the village. We must have been up at least 400m, surrounded by a river, there was this village and from this cliff you could see the entire valley. It looked like a painting. We walked back down the trail to get in a boat to cross the river to get to the village.

Once at the village, we were given 2 hours to explore. We needed the time to see all the different things in this 600 year old village. A funny moment came though, when we saw an old traditional house with a satellite dish. We were told that Queen Elizabeth of England visited this village; they had pictures of her and the chair she sat in. There were a lot of Koreans visitors as well. As the day was com-ing to an end, everyone was leaving and there were so many people.

On the way back to Daegu, I asked different people on the bus how they heard about the trip. Some said, “Facebook.” Others said, “From a friend.” While oth-ers said, “From the Daegu Compass.” Everyone said they enjoyed the day and was looking forward to the next trip. (Candyland Tour –Sat. Dec. 1st- Gyeongju Korea). They liked making new friends and seeing old ones. Thanks again to Hami and Yujeong for an awesome trip. Also thanks goes to the Daegu Compass for a continued experience and exposure to Korean culture.

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 descrribe the experience.

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