HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlinH AVA N A Fresh Food Fresh Ideas

Rarely 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 Ohs culinary philosophy

Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu hes 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 Im 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 isnt 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 havent 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 isnt your thing then try the Wild Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad Wow try saying that five times fast Congratula-tions you did it This isnt your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it either This is an assorted mix of wild gourmet spring let-tuce 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 8000w this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal The skinless chicken breast is touched

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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 Catch-ing 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 Its a trip that youll get more out of than a slightly damaged liver

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

Borneo is a land of adventure and precious gems that this world is slowly letting slip away Dont go if youre 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 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

G There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

May brings us the Dongseongro Festival which features our 4th annual lsquoScavenger Huntrsquo on Sunday May 20 2012 at 2pm We hope to see all of you there

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlinH AVA N A Fresh Food Fresh Ideas

Rarely 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 Ohs culinary philosophy

Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu hes 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 Im 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 isnt 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 havent 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 isnt your thing then try the Wild Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad Wow try saying that five times fast Congratula-tions you did it This isnt your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it either This is an assorted mix of wild gourmet spring let-tuce 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 8000w this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal The skinless chicken breast is touched

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

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 SuperColorSu-per for setting up the interview Please continue to support their great live shows in the future

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlinH AVA N A Fresh Food Fresh Ideas

Rarely 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 Ohs culinary philosophy

Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu hes 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 Im 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 isnt 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 havent 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 isnt your thing then try the Wild Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad Wow try saying that five times fast Congratula-tions you did it This isnt your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it either This is an assorted mix of wild gourmet spring let-tuce 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 8000w this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal The skinless chicken breast is touched

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlin

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlinH AVA N A Fresh Food Fresh Ideas

Rarely 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 Ohs culinary philosophy

Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu hes 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 Im 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 isnt 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 havent 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 isnt your thing then try the Wild Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad Wow try saying that five times fast Congratula-tions you did it This isnt your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it either This is an assorted mix of wild gourmet spring let-tuce 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 8000w this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal The skinless chicken breast is touched

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlin

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos the most important thing right now Of course there are other

things but this is what you long for the most

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlinH AVA N A Fresh Food Fresh Ideas

Rarely 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 Ohs culinary philosophy

Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu hes 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 Im 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 isnt 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 havent 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 isnt your thing then try the Wild Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad Wow try saying that five times fast Congratula-tions you did it This isnt your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it either This is an assorted mix of wild gourmet spring let-tuce 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 8000w this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal The skinless chicken breast is touched

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

a home away from homeWritten by Brad Piepkorn Photos by Ivan Broida

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

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 SuperColorSu-per for setting up the interview Please continue to support their great live shows in the future

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlinH AVA N A Fresh Food Fresh Ideas

Rarely 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 Ohs culinary philosophy

Having established himself as a top chef in Daegu hes 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 Im 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 isnt 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 havent 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 isnt your thing then try the Wild Spring Lettuce Chicken Breast Salad Wow try saying that five times fast Congratula-tions you did it This isnt your normal Korean side-dish iceberg lettuce salad with pink dressing on it either This is an assorted mix of wild gourmet spring let-tuce 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 8000w this salad is definitely big enough to serve as your main meal The skinless chicken breast is touched

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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 Catch-ing 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 Its a trip that youll get more out of than a slightly damaged liver

BORNEO

연구하고 있다 둑 위에 방목된 피그미 코끼리 무리를 엿보는 것은 표현할 수 없을 정도로 아름답다 또한 거대한 나비와 우스꽝스러운 새 상당수의 다른 원숭이와 마주칠 수 있다

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

완전히 인적이 없는 곳은 아니며 1주 혹은 2주간 방문 가능하다 한국에서 산다칸까지 비행은 편도 200 달러 정도이고 3시간 걸리며 하루에 몇 번씩 운행된다 원시 관광 답사도 있지만 허가증도 있어야 하고 거리도 방대하여 가이드를 이용하는 것이 더 나을 것이다 가이드에게 성급하게 굴지 마라 산다칸에 들어서는 순간 안내 방송이나 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 것이다 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 Dont go if youre 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 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

G There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HAVANA - FRESH FOOD - FRESH IDEAS

Written and photographed by Scott McLaughlin

with a hint of paprika and red wine to give it a distinct flavor that I havent tasted in seven ages of man If youre on a bit of a health kick dont 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

The King of Crab Pasta as I like to call it or Crab Cream Pasta (10000w) 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 doesnt 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

Havanas 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 chemi-cal free NO MSG food There isnt any other place like Havana in Daegu It is conveniently lo-

cated next to the new Daegu Bank downtown on the same street as Thursday Party as you are walking west towards the big stage Check it out sometime your taste buds will thank you mine actually said Wow you finally made a smart choice for once Thats never hap-pened to me before either

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

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 oppor-tunity 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 read-ing and writing at a basic level in Korean

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

a home away from homeWritten by Brad Piepkorn Photos by Ivan Broida

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 인도 유명 관광지를 더 둘러 볼 수 있다

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

a home away from homeWritten by Brad Piepkorn Photos by Ivan Broida

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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 Catch-ing 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 Its a trip that youll get more out of than a slightly damaged liver

BORNEO

연구하고 있다 둑 위에 방목된 피그미 코끼리 무리를 엿보는 것은 표현할 수 없을 정도로 아름답다 또한 거대한 나비와 우스꽝스러운 새 상당수의 다른 원숭이와 마주칠 수 있다

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

완전히 인적이 없는 곳은 아니며 1주 혹은 2주간 방문 가능하다 한국에서 산다칸까지 비행은 편도 200 달러 정도이고 3시간 걸리며 하루에 몇 번씩 운행된다 원시 관광 답사도 있지만 허가증도 있어야 하고 거리도 방대하여 가이드를 이용하는 것이 더 나을 것이다 가이드에게 성급하게 굴지 마라 산다칸에 들어서는 순간 안내 방송이나 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 것이다 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 Dont go if youre 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 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

G There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

JJrsquos Bar and Grill

When it comes to foreigner-aimed bars downtown

Daegu has a nice pool to choose from There does however seem to be a shortage of what I refer to as ldquomid-tempordquo establishments Either yoursquore elbow to elbow with every perspiring lubricated way-gook downtown or yoursquore sitting in a dark basement listening to sad indie music If only there existed some middle ground between pul-

sating and drab between sweaty and lonely between LMFAO and Elliot Smith Enter JJrsquos Bar and Grill

Opened on March 15th of this year JJrsquos Bar and Grill has already seen its fan-base multiply There are a number of reasons for this hangoutrsquos warm reception by Daegu bar-goers the most obvious of which is JJrsquos casual and friendly atmosphere Much of what makes JJrsquos 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

recreated the casual hangout feel that is sometimes missing from the hotspots here in Daegu

According to JJ the only lsquothemersquo he had in mind for his new bar was ldquoa good place to meet people kick back and have some nice conver-sationrdquo Mission accomplished JJrsquos layout is particularly well suited to this endeavor Located on the third floor of what we old-

timers would refer to as ldquothe old Holy Grillrdquo the interior of JJrsquos is as warm and open as its staff The wall facing the street is comprised

entirely of large glass windows allowing for a nice view of the prob-able 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 JJrsquos of-fers about a dozen different beers with Cass Alley Kat and Guin-ness available on tap All of your standard favorite cocktails and shots are available at prices start-ing at 4000w Donrsquot let the menu limit you though the staff speaks English and can whip up just about anything your heart (liver) desires JJrsquos also sports a surpris-ing whiskeycognac selection

Now onto the mouth-wateringly delicious cuisine JJ has owned successful restaurants in Washing-ton State as well as Los Angeles

and his experience in Western-style cooking is readily apparent JJ describes the items on his menu simply as ldquobar foodrdquo but that label is selling this food (and the selection) short

Whenever possible JJrsquos food is made from scratch using fresh ingredients

To start JJ presented us with his hot wings (only 50 cents each

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos the most important thing right now Of course there are other

things but this is what you long for the most

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

JJrsquoS BAR AND GRILL - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

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 (12000w) According to JJ this is a fan favorite and when combined with his fresh homemade salsa and guacamole itrsquos easy to see why JJ then brought us the chicken

fajitas which were simple but phe-nomenal 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 (12000w)

Though our homesick sensibili-ties lead us toward the Tex-Mex style options that is far from all that JJrsquos menu has to offer Over a dozen other dishes are available ranging from the Chipotle Ranch Bacon Burger (10000w) the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (12000w) and a number of salads and wraps If yoursquore feeling like a treat try JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos Itrsquos also important to note that since JJ makes his food fresh

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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 인도 유명 관광지를 더 둘러 볼 수 있다

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

JJrsquoS 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 ldquoWing Nightrdquo--wings are 50 cents (500w) each The bar also hosts Texas Holdrsquoem tourna-ments 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

JJrsquos opens at 500 pm and stays open until the customers are gone For those of you who like to party really late into the night JJrsquos begins serving ldquoHangover Breakfastrdquo in May from 600 am until 900 am on the weekends These potentially life-saving meals include breakfast staples such as eggs sausage bacon pancakes and of course bloody marys JJrsquos 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 JJrsquos is located on the 3rd floor on the left If yoursquore looking for a new place to hang out drink and stuff your face with some awesome food stop by JJrsquos

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos the most important thing right now Of course there are other

things but this is what you long for the most

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

A Look Into Denizenrsquos Horus ChorusYou donrsquot have to look very far if you are looking for a rock and roll band playing good lsquoole Americana music Daegursquos own Denizen just released their first album Horus Chorus on April 10th 2012 The album is available at httpdeni-zenbandbandcampcomalbumhorus-chorus You can purchase the whole album for $7 and listen to catchy upbeat love songs anytime you want Songs to check out are ldquoCulture Shockrdquo and ldquoVenicerdquo Here are a few words leader singer Michael McFarlane had to say about their new album

Whatrsquos the meaning behind your albumrsquos name Horus ChorusWe 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 record-ing 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 (writingpracticing recording and mixing) Was it a difficult processIt was a challenging process but not a difficult one If you likewhat you do you dont care how hard it is In fact there was a day

when I was re-working the song Honey Yourdquo and I began working at 200pm on Saturday and worked straight until I finished at 800am 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 temppractice 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 fam-ily back home feelIt feels great to have this under my belt Ive 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 mu-sic album I will be able to listen to and share this music for the rest of my life Reactions have been

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its 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 abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

보르네오는 모험의 땅이고 이 세상이 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

largely positive I am mortified to tell my family though I have a feeling that they will only hear their mumbly goofy-voiced little-brother or at least be so scathingly critical that Ill never think to do this kind of thing again Honestly Ive 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 creat-ing songsI 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 ex-perimented with vocal harmonies and recording techniques such as overdubs I also added guitar solos to songs we hadnt done during the live recording I consider this the most important step of creating the album and also the most fun

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

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 mix-ing on his own

What plans do you guys have nextI 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 sta-tions venues and other connec-tions Maybe mom and dad will get a copy too

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its 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 abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

G There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BORNEO - LAND BELOW THE WIND

an EYE opening experience in the Land below the WindThe 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 보르네오는 여러분의 상상력을 자극하고 설렘과 떨림을 준다 고립된 마을들 높이 솟은 나무 크고 섬뜩한 벌레들 빠르게 멸종되고 있는 희귀한 동식물을 발견할 수 있는 땅 보르네오는 여러분을 실망시키지 않을 것이다

Not on the travel radar of many expats in Korea either because of itrsquos absence of bucket drinks or itrsquos 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 happen-ing outside of our comfortable little bubble In a country where itrsquos hard to find a trash bin on the sidewalk there isnrsquot much we re-ally do in terms of being proactive But a trip to Borneo can and will open the eyes to the need for a dif-ferent approach to our travels

말레이시아 동부지역 사바는 술 한 잔 할 수 없는 환경과 불편한 접근성 때문에 한국에 있는 많은 외국인이 선호하는 여행지가 아니다 하지만 생태관광을 추구하는 사람들에게 숨겨진 천국이다 때때로 우리는 안락하고 작은 우물 밖에서 무슨 일이 일어나는지 잊고 산다 길에 쓰레기통 하나 눈에 띄지 않는 나라에서 여행을 하기에는 많은 어려움이 따를 수 있다 그러나 보르네오는 기존과 다른 여행 접근법에 눈을 뜨게 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 itrsquos 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 주변이나 키나바탕간 강 유역은 친환경 여행에서 특히 주목할 만한 장소이다 사바 주에서 가장 긴 키나바탕간 강의 거대한 범람은 그야말로 야생생물의 낙원이다 이 강은 긴코원숭이 오랑우탄 악어 코뿔소 코끼리와 맞닥뜨릴 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 단순히 동물의 서식지를 넘어 그 이

상의 의미를 가지고 있다

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-

gans banks with small powerless villages that do more than just fish and travel the murky waters Without the river and its dense jungle valleys their culture and way of life would erode away into nothingness

이 강은 궁극의 생명줄이다

사바는 30개 이상 부족의 본거지이고 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하고 있다 범람원에는 오랑숭가이 사람들이(ldquo강 사람들rdquo이라는 꽤나 적절한 별명도 가지고 있다) 키나바탕안의 둑을 따라 살아가고 있다 전기도 없는 작은 마을이지만 흙탕물에서 낚시를 하거나 여행하는 것 외에 다양한 모습으로 살고 있다 강과 밀집한 정글 계곡 없이 그들의 문화와 삶의 방식도 존재할 수 없다

With such a potent combination of rich tribal tradition and abun-dant wildlife and the constant threat from outside sources it is no wonder why there are a num-ber of powerful bodies involved in the preservation of this ecosystem The Kinabatangan Corridor of Life is a multilateral initiative under

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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 Catch-ing 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 Its a trip that youll get more out of than a slightly damaged liver

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

완전히 인적이 없는 곳은 아니며 1주 혹은 2주간 방문 가능하다 한국에서 산다칸까지 비행은 편도 200 달러 정도이고 3시간 걸리며 하루에 몇 번씩 운행된다 원시 관광 답사도 있지만 허가증도 있어야 하고 거리도 방대하여 가이드를 이용하는 것이 더 나을 것이다 가이드에게 성급하게 굴지 마라 산다칸에 들어서는 순간 안내 방송이나 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 것이다 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 Dont go if youre 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 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos the most important thing right now Of course there are other

things but this is what you long for the most

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

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 Reha-bilitation Centre the most famous of its kind A trip wouldnt be complete without a visit to the Gomantong

Caves home to thousands of swiftlets and bats If youre 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 Catch-ing 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 Its a trip that youll get more out of than a slightly damaged liver

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

Borneo is a land of adventure and precious gems that this world is slowly letting slip away Dont go if youre 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 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

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 get-ting 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 bet-ter 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 Eng-lish and learn how to speak Korean We are con-fident 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

a vital way to learn another language too So what are you waiting for Join us today and start learning

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

연구하고 있다 둑 위에 방목된 피그미 코끼리 무리를 엿보는 것은 표현할 수 없을 정도로 아름답다 또한 거대한 나비와 우스꽝스러운 새 상당수의 다른 원숭이와 마주칠 수 있다

Its not entirely untrodden and so it makes a week or two visit very doable Flights from KL to Sanda-kan run around 200$CAD a pop and are scheduled a few times daily (3 hours) Theres a primitive tour-ist trail but with the amount of permits and vast distances to cover the preferred method is to hire a guide Dont jump the gun on these guides either The microphone blasting umbrella holding pack-aged tours were accustomed to seeing here couldnt be further from what youll get in Sandakan Its 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 Youll get to interact with villagers not just observe

완전히 인적이 없는 곳은 아니며 1주 혹은 2주간 방문 가능하다 한국에서 산다칸까지 비행은 편도 200 달러 정도이고 3시간 걸리며 하루에 몇 번씩 운행된다 원시 관광 답사도 있지만 허가증도 있어야 하고 거리도 방대하여 가이드를 이용하는 것이 더 나을 것이다 가이드에게 성급하게 굴지 마라 산다칸에 들어서는 순간 안내 방송이나 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 것이다 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 Dont go if youre 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 천천히 미끄러져가는 것을 허용하는 귀중한 보석이다 여러분이 편안한 여행과 아름다운 해변을 찾는다면 그곳에 가지 마라 경험을 위해서 그리고 여러분의 자각을 위해 떠나라

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

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 oppor-tunity 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 read-ing and writing at a basic level in Korean

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

INTERVIEW WITH MITCH TALBOT

On a sunny afternoon stand-ing 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 Samsungs first win of the season over the KIA Tigers (10-2) in spectacular fashion

A right-handed pitcher Talbot began throwing strikes with his lsquochange uprsquo since he was little Growing up in southern Utah with 3 older brothers as motiva-tion 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 Dur-ham 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 years Samsung Lions foreign player Justin Germano decided to test his arm against Koreas 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 sum-mer 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 inter-view that would make him a locker room fa-vorite 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 dont distract him from

retiring the side

Mitch Talbot is a great addition to this years team At the time of this writing he is 1-0 but the Lions are 3-7 Im pretty confident Coach Ryu will get his team in championship form soon After a summer of celebrating where Im 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 well get to know Brian Gordon a veteran of the KBL He jumped ship from SK Wyverns to help pitch the Lions to 2012 glory

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos the most important thing right now Of course there are other

things but this is what you long for the most

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos the most important thing right now Of course there are other

things but this is what you long for the most

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

JEONGDONGJIN - A SEASIDE TOWN

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

continued on p30

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

G There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

continued on p30

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

G There are some cool videos from our Asian tour on there and some from Korea too

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 인도 유명 관광지를 더 둘러 볼 수 있다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

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 get-ting 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 bet-ter 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 Eng-lish and learn how to speak Korean We are con-fident 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

JEONGDONGJIN - A SEASIDE TOWN

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

continued on p30

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

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 SuperColorSu-per for setting up the interview Please continue to support their great live shows in the future

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

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 SuperColorSu-per for setting up the interview Please continue to support their great live shows in the future

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

ELEGANT HAIR CUTS AT COHEART

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 (15000 ndash 25000 won depends on the hair dresser) Hair Digital Perming (starts from 50000 ndash 100000 won) Hair Color (starts from 60000 won) Exclusive Hair and Scalp Treatment (starts from 70000won) Nail art (starts from 15000 won) and Make-Up (70000 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 lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

This is a pretty big Asian tour where have you been

alreadyG We started off in Hong Kong then to China to do like 12 shows 12 I think 12 Its been so long wersquore all confused But then we went to Taiwan and now here in South Korea

How are you finding South Korea so farM For me I donrsquot know but because Irsquove been to Japan and Irsquove 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 beginningK 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 bound-aries we all had other bands which were releasing records and stuff so we did this more for fun

So you werenrsquot worried about moving away from a more con-ventional format of a bandG 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 wouldnrsquot surprise me if you didnrsquot share many because of your unique soundK 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 Irsquove always been fond of melo-dies ever since I was a kid I lis-tened to Iron Maiden (chuckles) and thatrsquos all based on melodies Thatrsquos always inspiring to me (Big smile on his face)

Explosions in the sky Thatrsquos always a name dropped around you guyshellipK 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 lsquoExplosionsrsquo even though we like lsquoExplosionslsquo also but I think Mono was closer I think

M Also Mono has a special rela-tionship with us because our first show in Sweden was supporting them

What is your favourite track that yoursquove recorded and what feelings do you attach to itG 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

Written and photographed by Fuzz Chucas

Pg Lost is that mellifluous instrumental band of the stoner ilk whose sound lulls in slow arcs of contempla-tive 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

Hello lsquoPg Lostrsquo Interview

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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 hersquos the great talker of the band

And finally web stuff to check outM Google lsquo Pg lostrsquo

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 SuperColorSu-per for setting up the interview Please continue to support their great live shows in the future

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

HELLO - PG LOST INTERVIEW

Is there a song you wrote in which at the point of concep-tion you feel strongly about it and every time you play it afterwards do you feel the same againM I think lsquoYes I amrsquo of our EP It was one of the first things we ever recorded I donrsquot 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 thatrsquos a personal favourite of yoursM For me its growing I didnrsquot see it at the time but the sound was special

G Since then wersquove evolved that track sound wise and when we do

it live now itrsquos a different track you know That kind of song al-ways works and always feels good when we play it

What are the most important things in your lives right nowK 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 feel-ing its like our goal to go to new places Big shows or small shows doesnrsquot matter as long as we get to travel

G Its hard to say anything else werrsquore all on the same page This is what we love the most thatrsquos why itrsquos 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)

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

suspects Any particular evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 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

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

INDIA TRAVEL STORY INDIA TRAVEL STORY

Travelling in India is a chal-lenging and interesting expe-

rience 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 Itrsquos an experience a lot of fun and lets be honest They canrsquot really cheat you that much Itrsquos 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 도전적이고 흥미로운 경험이다 인도를 여행하는 두 가지 방법이 있는데 이곳에 도착하면 쉽게 알게 된다 한 가지는 당신을 끊임없이 속이려 드는 사람들이 있는 관광지에 한 달 정도 머무는 것이다 그것은 싸고 재미있을 것이다 솔직히 말해 그들이 그

렇게 심하게 속이는 것도 아니다 택시를 탄 후 원래 요금의 3배를 요구하는 운전사와 종종 실랑이를 벌이기도 한다 하지만 그 금액이 고작 5달러라는 사실을 깨닫고 그냥 웃게 된다

The other option is to come to India for a longer stay There are

numerous NGOrsquos 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 인도에는 구호활동 기회를 제공하는 비정부기관이 많다 여기는 작은 도움으로도 많은 혜택을 받을 수 있는 사람들이 있다 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 그 나라의 정과 정신을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다 만약 비자를 더 연장 할 수 있다면 인도 유명 관광지를 더 둘러 볼 수 있다

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 andequal opportunity at education

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

현재 나는 닐리코타이에 있는 일람 고아원에 와 있다 인도 남부에 위치한 이곳 사람들은 열악한 환경에도 12살부터 19살의 청소년 40명을 키우고 교육시키는 데 최선을 다하고 있다 놀라운 것은 교육을 받아서 많은 사람이 성공한다는 점이다 지금 인도는 모든 사람에게 교육의 권리를 보장하려는 새로운 지도자와 급성장하고 있다 이제 수백만의 젊은이들이 교육에 대한 평등한 기회를 가진다

One of the major problems though is that English is taught here as a written language What is offered is a comprehensive education in grammar and memo-risation What is needed is help in conversation and spoken language Anyone who is interested in making a real difference and experiencing an amazing country and different culture should contact Khader Mohammed at najigagmailcom The children will welcome you with open arms just like a pack of younger brothers

그러나 문제점 중 하나는 이곳에서 영어를 쓰는 용도로 가르치는 것이다 영문법과 암기법에 관해서 상당한 교육이 이루어지고 있다 하지만 정작 필요한 것은 대화에 사용되는 영어교육이다 진정한 변화를 만들고 놀라운 나라와 새로운 문화를 경험하는데 관심이 있으면 카더 모하메드(Khader Moham-med)에게 이메일(najigagmailcom) 하면 된다 그곳 아이들이 남동생처럼 반갑게 여러분을 맞아 줄 것이다

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

London Olympics 2012what crosses your mind when you hear thisIt 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 go-ing Do you feel like you can conquer both the 10K and 5K this summerPreparations are going very well I trained well this winter and still have four months to go I am aim-ing to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough I am confident but canrsquot take anything for granted What is your daily routine leading up to the main event DietExerciseI 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 havewhen you came back and won the 5000 metres This summer with the whole stadi-um behind you do you think you can produce something special like 1) a gold medal for the UK and 2) a potentially

new World RecordLast 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 donrsquot expect an y world record performances in the Olympic Games in the menrsquos long distance races ndash they are usually tactical affairs Was the indoor season a good way to start the season or has it damaged your confidenceThe 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 canrsquot take anything for granted It is very unusual for one athlete to dominate in the long distance races The impor-tant thing is to win when it counts in London Have you refocused on any specific areas after the in-

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

MO FARAH - INTERVIEW

doorsI 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 evenduelmatch up that you are look-ing forward to seeingThe good thing about athletics is that there are so many star athletes In many events there are great com-petitions 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 womenrsquos long distances Paula Radcliffe who will be hoping to win the mara-thon on home soil

Away from the track how do you feel your beloved Arse-nals season is panning outIts looking like another trophy-less 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 abun-dance of success is there one thing in particular that you would love to be able to tell your grandchildrenI hope to have a lot of things to tell them Ask me again after London

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

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 Thats right Erin How many times do you get home and see all those magnetic menus scattered all over your door If youre 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 Koreas super-fast and efficient home delivery system Whats the deal Intimidated Scared Afraid if you dispatch a crazed scooter-cruising 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 Daegus area code (053) first and then initiate the call

Gang Sanggu - Nice Erin So youve got the phone number cued up in your phone Its shaking Youre nervous Like calling Jenny Sanderson to ask her to the prom Remember those jitters

Erin - HEY Whos Jenny Sanderson You never told me about her

Gang Sanggu - Umwell 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 Its time to call the restaurant Which expres-sions 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

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

FREE KOREAN CLASSES WITH DESC

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 oppor-tunity 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 read-ing 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 cultureDonrsquot 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 get-ting 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 bet-ter 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 Eng-lish and learn how to speak Korean We are con-fident 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

a vital way to learn another language too So what are you waiting for Join us today and start learning

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DARREN CLARKE - INTERVIEW

Darren Clarke Interview

With the Ballantines Cham-pionship only a couple

of weeks away this year Korea will once again welcome some of the best golfers to its shores to compete for this illustrious trophy Among them will be Darren Clarke the current British Open champion He was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few ques-tions I put to him

Are you looking forward to your first trip to South KoreaVery much so I have always loved travelling and Irsquove heard so many good things about the country its people and culture

Will you bring the Claret Jug with you Do you still have to pinch yourself at times when you see the jug in your pos-sessionI try to take the jug with me whenever possible It did take a while for me to believe that I had actually realized my dreams but now I have the satisfaction of knowing they cannot be taken away from me

What do you know about this

event from talking to fellow Pros who com-peted here last yearThey all said what a great challenge it is and how educated the galleries are

Do you think that Asia and Korea in par-ticular can produce a World No 1 in the futureI donrsquo think it I know it I am sure it will happen sooner rather than later The girls are currently leading the way but the boys will quickly catch up and in K J Choi they have a great role model

Have you sampled Ballantines Whisky before ImpressionYesItrsquos everything you could want in a whiskyhellip

Is there any particular routine you have when lighting up a cigar on the course or is it just when you feel like having oneI try not to smoke cigars on course but love one socially

After last years Open victory do you feel like there was a huge weight lifted off your shoulders or has it led

to added pressure to perform more consistentlyI completed a lifetimersquos ambi-tion last summer but it didnrsquot lift any weights or pressure from my shoulders because I still want to win more and am doing everything I can to perform more consistently

The Ballantines Championship is set to take place from April 26-29 in Blackstone Golf Course Icheon As well as Darren stars such as Adam Scott Ian Poulter Miguel Jimenez and local favorite YE Yang will be in attendance It once again promises to be another memorable few days of golf not to be missed

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU THEATRE TROUPE PERFORMS CLOSER

Written by Rachel Brownwell

This coming May will mark the opening of the Daegu Theatre Troupersquos 2012 theatre season

While the Troupe has been active in Daegu for about 4 years the last year has easily been its most active Theyrsquove been expanding the number of performances the size of their audiences and are beginning to take productions to other cities around Korea Between the 24-hour Theatre Challenges Musical Revues Murder Mysteries and other full-length productions there is nearly always a new show just around the corner and this month is no exception

This year the DTT will open with the play Closer by Patrick Marber Made famous by the 2004 film star-ring Jude Law Natalie Portman Clive Owen and Julia Roberts the two-act play is a slightly darker and more cutthroat version of the film adaptation However the focus remains on the four main characters (an aspiring writer an ex-stripper a doctor and a photographer) and what theyrsquore willing to do to get the people and things that they want With clever dialogue raw sexual tension and a harsh look at how people are willing to treat the ones they ldquoloverdquo Closer is a dramatic portrayal of all the little ways we lie to one another-- and the consequences big and small

Closer is showing at 8pm on May 19th and 6pm on the 20th at the Actorrsquos Story theater (a few minutes from downtown) The show is directed by DTT vet Rachael Brownell and it promises to be a captivat-ing show When asked about the show Rachael said ldquoIrsquom looking forward to working with some well known members of the DTT and some new ones This show has always been of interest to me and wersquove been waiting a long time to get it on stage Irsquom really excited to get it out there and share it with everyonerdquo The roles of the 4 troubled characters are filled by a mix of veterans and newcomers in Simon Swain Alex Hernandez Christopher Hodgson and Lorna A Camacho Souchet Tickets are 10000 won and reservations by sending an email to dae-gutheatregmailcom In addition following the show an after-party will be held at JJrsquos Bar and Grill in the heart of the downtown area Further details check us out on facebook

Daegu Theatre Troupe Presents Closer

We look forward to seeing you there

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU STAMP TRAIL STAMP TRAIL

For those of us living in and around Daegu itrsquos sometimes

difficult to know which local attractions are worth visiting If you are one of those people who has not gotten out there and seen much of Daegu yet or would love to do something a little different then I would highly recommend the Daegu Stamp Trail as an excellent way to see our cityAs most readers might not be aware of the Daegu Stamp Trail herersquos a brief introduction Many cities in and around Korea have

their own tourist attractions and in order to promote their cities they produce a ldquostamp trailrdquo or ldquostamp tourrdquo A stamp trailtour is basically a suggested list of locations within a certain area that the local tourism body would like tourists to visit

When I mentioned the Daegu Stamp Trail to my co-workers none of them knew what I was on about Although itrsquos been running for several years now itrsquos not very well known The basic point of the

Daegu Stamp Trail is for tourists and residents alike to get out into the city and see what Daegu has to offer

For those of you that are inter-ested and want to see more of this colorful city the stamp trail booklets are easily available You can get them at any of the tourism information booths in Daegu (the small booth close to the stage in Dongseongro (close to the stage) or just outside Daegu Station) and one stamp booklet will cost KRW1000 This KRW1000 might just end up being the best money you spend on touring in Daegu and it can be the gateway to many places in Daegu that you have not yet thought of visiting or were not even aware of yet

A quick heads-up ndash if you want to get rewarded for completing the stamp tour the booklet needs to be filled in before October 30th 2012 This does not really leave

The 30 sites that are listed in the 2012 Daegu Stamp Trail are (in the order that they are in the booklet)

1 Gyeongsang-gamyeong Park and the Daegu Modern History Museum2 Daegu Yangnyeongsi3 Old Residence of Lee Sang-Hwa and the Old Residence of Seo Sang-don4 Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy5 Gukchae-bosang Memorial Hall and Gukchae-bosang Memorial Park6 Dalseong Park7 EXCO8 Bullo-dong Tomb Park

9 Otgol Village (Gyeongju Choersquos Head House)10 Arbor Vitae Forest at Do-dong11 Donghwasa Temple12 Bangjja Yugi Museum 13 Pagyesa Temple14 A Historic Site of General Sin Sung-gyeom15 Buinsa Temple16 Gatbawi17 Daegu National Museum18 Daegu Stadium19 Nokdong-seowon Confucian Academy20 Herbhillz21 Spa Valley22 Myogol Village (Yukshinsa

Shrine)23 E World24 Mt Apsan Observatory25 Inheung Village (Nampyeong Moon Clanrsquos Original Residence Area)26 Daegu Arboretum27 Yongyeonsa Temple28 Hwawon Resort29 Dodong-seowon Confucian Academy30 Mt Biseulsan Natural Forest Resort

So now that you have no excuse not to do the stamp trail get out there and do it Happy stamping

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

STAMP TRAIL

too much time for you to complete the tour but if you get at least a stamp or two a week you should be well on your way to getting something for your efforts However if you donrsquot finish by October 30th you can still complete the stamp trail but you wonrsquot get any rewards for doing so You will still have your completed stamp trail booklet and all the memories that go along with those stamps

Rewards I hear you say Sorry to say but there most likely wonrsquot be any monetary gifts The good news is that you will get something unique to Daegu A quick chat to the kind operator at Daegursquos Tourist Information Center (053-1330) got me this information A stamp trail pocket book completed before the deadline will result in the ldquotouristrdquo getting a small gift (most likely something small ndash no specifics were given) and a certificate which gives them the honorary title of being a Goodwill Tourism Ambassador for Daegu City (the wording on the certificate could be a bit different but this is still really cool) These gifts will be given at a ceremony which will most likely be held at the tourist information office in Duryu Park As there are certain readers here who will be back home by October 30th there might still be something that can be done for you if you complete the tour before you leave If in doubt call the tourist information offices (053-1330)

If you get yourself a stamp trail booklet yoursquore go-ing to need to start filling it up with stamps When you have visited a location you need to look out for an office or tourism booth This office is where you will be able to get your booklet stamped and most likely get some extra information about the attraction that you are visiting Remember to visit between 10am and 5pm If you are lucky then there will be an English guide to show you around as well

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

Suseong Lake area is one of the classiest places in Daegu A perfect date area After taking your sweetheart out to a nice meal Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

ALL4SKIN - ADVERTORIAL - SKIN CARE

Domestic skin beauty treatment today is attracting the worldrsquos attention- lsquoHallu waversquo is growing in the medical field especially dermatoplasty

The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology was held at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul last May Dermatologists around the world gather together once every four year to pronounce new technology and studies at the so-called lsquoWorld Dermatol-ogy Olympicrsquo This meeting is the largest medical conference ever held in the country Dr Pokkee Min the education director of the Association of Korean Dermatolo-gists and the advertising executive of Korea Hair Research Society gave a lecture as senior person in the area of skin pores and scars Dr Min is the head of All For Skin a medical group that has six branch clinics nationwide

The headquarter and main branch in Daegu designated as lsquothe Leading Institute of Medical Tourism in Deagursquo last December actively participate in developing new medical technology and promoting medical tourism in the city Medi-cal doctors and staff from many countries including Dr Douglas J Grose from Australia Dr Sanju

Babu Shresth from Nepal and the professors from Xirsquoan Vocational College of Begonia China are rushing to learn the state-of-the-art technology employed at All For Skin

The dermatology group provides a wide range of treatments including laser skin renewal scar removal wrinkle care anti-aging whitening hair transplantation treatment body correction

and non-surgical face sculpting Having nearly 70 cutting-edge medical devices the dermatology clinic introduces highly-developed

technology which is ap-propriately used according to the purpose of treatment Other than health profes-sionals a growing number of overseas tourists also visit All For Skin The number of overseas visitors was 68 in 2010 but it almost doubled to 104 in 2011 When it comes to their nationalities US accounts for 39 percent

of the total followed by China Japan India and Vietnam in order

Most patients from the States have concerns about skin aging so they look for lifting treat-ment and so-called petit surgery (Botox Filler Sculptra and so on) Asian visitors mostly from China and Japan are interested in whitening and are most satis-fied with MeDioStar a German whitening-lifting laser system The most popular treatment that medical tourists look for very recently at All For Skin is lsquonon-surgical facial sculptingrsquo

which needs no incision but uses mainly three procedures Ulthera Laser Fine Thread also called Polydioxanone and authorized by Korea Food and Drug Administra-tion injection treatment called Scupltra

It is very hard to pick the most reliable clinic in a medical street crowded with aesthetics and der-matologists The smartest way to choose the best one is to meticu-lously check the quality of medical equipment and professionals that a clinic has

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

HYOSUNG HOSPITAL

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BEHIND THE DECKS - NIC FANCIULLI SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

Behind the DecksNic Fanciulli first caught our attention when he shared the decks with the legendary Der-rick Carter at Club Garden His ability to blend into the previous set and make it his own created a lasting memory for all Fanciullirsquos versatility to open headline or close a night is not only a reflection of his artistry but his character His collaborations on and off the decks have changed the electronic landscape the world over His tour schedule production and record label have solidified him as a protagonist for quality dance music Presently he is in the studio putting the finishing touches on his upcoming album with EQ Recordings (Balance 021) For information on Fanciullirsquos Asian tour check out his website Nic graciously took some time off to grant us an interview

How did growing up in Maid-stone influence your careerMaidstone has definitely had a big impact on my career We had a thriving electronic music scene in the late 90rsquos My favorite club was a place called Atomics this is where I really learnt about electronic music Atomics hosted a Friday night called Club Class All the big names would feature there from the likes of Sasha amp Digweed all the way through to Carl Cox Then on the Saturday night it would be a drum and bass night called Pure Science

which at the time was the longest weekly drum and bass event in the country I was exposed to so many styles of music that it taught me to become more open minded and creative in what I was playing myself When I became resident for Club Class it was the best feeling This was my hometown and I was playing at the best night in the area Week in week out I would get to warm up for the likes of Pete Tong and Paul Oaken-fold so each week would be different but my job was to always make the crowd ready for the main DJ This is where I learnt to become a real DJ as I think itrsquos the hardest part of DJing I got a lot of help from the guests that played and I still owe them all so many thanks for the help they gave me I think thatrsquos why I still always try and push new talent as I wouldnrsquot be here now without the help of my peers What do you attribute to your success as a DJproducerI would have to say my residency at my local club night Club Class As I mentioned before it was a place that used to invite all these remarkable guests so I learnt to be very adaptable in certain situ-ations from opening the night to

closing the night and everything in-between Every week would be a different situation and I learned from my mistakes You need to read the crowd and also recognize the time and place to play certain records This was an area that I made mistakes in during the early part of my career but I learnt quickly to fix them I also learnt a lot from the guys that used to play week in week out The majority of the DJrsquos were genuinely nice people and did not forget we all started in the bedroom making mix tapes Once I was happy with my DJrsquoing I wanted to learn how to make music I got put in touch with a producer named Andy Chatterley and we started making records We collaborated under the moniker Skylark He

SPOTLIGHT PART 2 - BLAINE MCGAFFIGAN

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

WORK AND PLAY IN OZ

This column was published with the express permission of urbanEVENTS wwwsamuraifmseoulvibes ~ seoulvibesgmailcom ~ wwwmyspacecomseoulvibes

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

was the guy that basically taught me everything in the studio I owe him so much What was your initial reaction when you were nominated for a GrammyShock I think it was because I never imagined that a deep house record would be on their radar We were up against the likes of Madonna and Coldplay We didnrsquot win but it was something that Irsquom really proud about

Who is your favorite artist at the momentI think James Blake did a great job to create a very underground sound and getting it to the masses Of coursefrom the house music world there are some really excit-ing new artists like ampME Clio Philip Bader Andrea Olivia and Alex Tepper that are really influ-encing my sound at the moment What are your bestworst mo-

ments for you as a DJStopping the wrong CD player during a live Essential Mix on Radio 1 That was not the best thing I could have done Being nominated for a Grammy was one of my many highlights Is there a track that you never get tired of playing outLaurent Garnier

mdash ldquoMan with the Red Facerdquo This is one of those records that we all dream about making Itrsquos a record that you could never imagine writing In fact it really is that clever I only have to play a second of the record and people know exactly what it is To sum it up this track is a complete mas-terpiece and so ahead of its time when it first came out Do you feel that technology is replacing or improving a DJrsquos setI think technology evolves con-stantly and audiencersquos expecta-tions are changing all the time so you constantly have to adapt whether thatrsquos through technolo-gy music choice or mixing styles Technological advances are al-ways exciting but therersquos a certain character and feel to playing vinyl that cannot be replicated Irsquove chosen to use Traktor with CD controllers I find that I still get the hands on approach by using

the CDJrsquos but then I get the added bonus of having lots more music and EFXrsquos At the end of the day all that matters is that people are enjoying themselves and having fun on the floor

How does one make the transi-tion from DJ to producerAs a DJ you learn to see what works and what doesnrsquot which is always a good start Then after that you have to really learn the hardware Nowadays itrsquos so much easier as computers make the whole process that much easier What was your vision when you created your record label SavedIt was originally a label to release my own music But then I realized people would get bored of just my own music We were getting sent so many amazing records that I wanted to sign too so it just made sense Our vision is simple mdash if itrsquos good and I play it we will put it out What can we expect from Nic FanciulliWow thatrsquos a hard one to answer about yourself I think that I always try and bring enjoyment with the music I play and I also like to throw in a few surprises like a special re-edit of an old record that I did Every set is dif-ferent but I always play with the same goal of bringing energy to the night

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

CHEONGDO TOUR REVIEW

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

While some well-rested participants arrived on

time at 845AM to the departing buses others rolled out of bed at 830AM rushing after endur-ing the aftermath of a fun-filled night No matter what their story everyone on the two buses had one common anticipation on that gloomy wet Saturday morning the Cheongdo Bullfighting Festi-val For only 30000 won partici-pants experienced a delicious and entertaining agenda wine tasting at the Wine Tunnel Bullfighting Festival in Cheongdo (an hour and a half away from Daegu) and

strawberry picking While the event itinerary was perfect the weather was wet wet wet No matter the condition people entered the 107 year-old tunnel to get wine-wasted Par-ticipants received cheese crackers and a tasting of two white wines one dry and one very sweet One fellow Mark Salas appreciated the history of the tunnel and described the Persimmon wine as ldquouniquely sweet and memorablerdquo

After indulging on these treats people were able to explore the tunnel further which ended to a perfect photo op with a luminous light display of a wine glass Like Mark most participants left the tunnel a bit tipsy Perhaps they should rename the tunnel into the ldquoTipsy Tunnelrdquo

Letrsquos get ready to rumble On this rare occasion of gambling in this neck of South Korea the audience at the Bullfighting Festival are allowed to place bets from 1000

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

BULLS AND BERRIES

Written by Wendy Seng Photos by Stephanie Gall

won and up Each round matches a red-stamped bull (Redbull) versus a blue-stamped bull (Blue Balls) so you place your bets on whichever your gut feels lucky towards Prior to the rumble six referees are presented and then the two bulls are escorted to the dirt-battlefield The bulls knock heads and joust at each other with their hard stiffening horns Whichever bull runs away is the loser and the other is proclaimed as the victor Lady Luck Stacey Riches got a little richer by winning 10000 won and was interviewed by KBS a Korean national TV broadcasting channel She stated that ldquoThe bullfight was awesome and I had fun Getting interviewed was funnyrdquo Whether you win or lose this exciting Bullfighting Festival left their audience feeling anything but ldquobullshitrdquo

Lastly participants were able to pick and bring home 5 grams of sweet succulent sexy strawber-ries Dhaima Williams expressed her love for strawberries ldquoI ate more than I picked I love strawberries so in a sense it was an all you can eat buffet The folks were super nice I had an amaz-ing timerdquo

Hopefully the hilarious and rambunctious group at the back of the buses will remember this culture and life-enriching event Despite the rain participants seemed to make the most out of this wonderful experience About 90 of the time from being at the events to riding in the buses you will hear genuine laughter The other 10 of the time is snoring Similar to the feeling after a climactic moment the Cheongdo Bullfight-ing Festival event left their participants wet and satisfied

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

Suseong Lake area is one of the classiest places in Daegu A perfect date area After taking your sweetheart out to a nice meal Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

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 Therersquos 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

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

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 Therersquos 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 Irsquod recommend Napoli Ganga La Bella Cucina or New York New York take a stroll around Suseong Lake until you come upon the famous lsquoduck boatsrsquo and paddle your way into each otherrsquos 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 Photos by Aygul Sarvarova Chanel Barlow and Jeremy Taylor

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

DAEGU RUNNING CLUB - HEALTHY LIVING

After a quick search ever-faithful Google breaks the

news Koreans are particularly keen on running and competing in marathons Korea is home to over a million runners and hosts hundreds of road races each year Many runners have even travelled outside of Korea to compete in international marathons Itrsquos of-ficial-- Koreans love to run

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

Running for Health and Charity Thatrsquos WINNING Written and photographed by Sara Tilley

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present

Yet I canrsquot help but ask myself where are all the runners I have been running around Daegu for 8 months without seeing a single Korean runner My boyfriend has seen two though so I feel com-pelled to mention this here There is one foreign runner in my area but he always seems to be running away from me

Running is often considered an individual sport While this might be true for elite athletes it certainly isnrsquot true for recreational runners There is a great sense of camaraderie accountability and fun when you run with a group And so after months of running

alone ignoring the stares that a solo waygook runner comes to know all too well and of relying on only myself for warnings of oncoming scooters and cars on sidewalks I decided that enough was enoughmdashDaegu needed a running club

On April 14th 2012 Daegu

Running Club was launched with our first Saturday morning run at Keimyung University Total participants Five Our numbers may have been small but we got out there and had a gorgeous run among the rows of cherry blossoms As one of Korearsquos top 10 most beautiful university campuses Keimyung is the ideal backdrop for any run and offers a great opportunity to explore another part of Daegu

Daegu Running Club is a social club for runners of all abilities-- from beginner to advancedmdashthat meets every Saturday morning at 10am Keimyung University station (exit 1) Runners will be divided into groups based on their comfort level and will reconvene at a nearby coffee shop afterwards where members will get to know one another better

In addition Daegu Running Club is offering a 10-week ldquoLearn to Run Beginner Clinicrdquo The clinic is designed to introduce novice runners to a support system that will allow them to progress from a would-be runner to a group runner Each week we will discuss a different topic ranging from proper hydration and nutrition to selecting the perfect running shoe for your foot type

Since arriving in Korea my passion for running has been matched only by my passion for animal welfare and I dedicate as much time as possible to both of these interests The Korean Animal Protection Society (KAPS) in Daegu has become my home-away-from-home (away from home) and all proceeds from the running clinic will be donated to the KAPS Fostering Program which moves rescue animals from KAPS shelters into foster homes that provide veterinary care rehabili-tation socialization and love

Three years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life by joining a ldquolearn to runrdquo clinic at a running store in Canada I had considered taking the clinic for a year and never thought I could be a ldquorunnerrdquo The funny thing is most other runners I speak to say they felt the same way If yoursquove ever considering running therersquos no better time than the present
