2010 Colorful Daegu PreChampionships Meeting

Bus Services to be Upgraded

p until this year, the Colorful Daegu Pre-Championships Meeting took place at the end of September, but next year (2010) the Event will be held in the spring becoming a part of the IAAF World Challenge. More specifically, it will take place on 19 May 2010. International Association of Athletics Federations(IAAF) will soon introduce a system to divide the Grand Prix Events into the Diamond Leagues (14 cities) and IAAF World Challenge (13 cities), starting from next year. With this decision, a total of 13 cities in 13 countries including Daegu, Korea; Osaka, Japan; and Athens, Greece will be included in the new IAAF World Challenge. Given that they will take place in May in Daegu, Doha, Shanghai, and Osaka, more talented world class athletes are expected to run, jump and throw at Daegu Stadium.

he Daegu City Government plans to change the exterior colors of city buses in 2010 and 2011. The current city bus designs were assigned in 2001 and 2002, but the City Government believes that the color change will bring vitality to the city's atmosphere. They expect the change will increase the bus usage and other services. The city has been operating LED destination signs in front of the bus outside and the bus route information in English for passengers in the bus for 10 buses which run 5 routes since the end of September. There will be the test operation for a couple of months.

Daegu is...

Mass Transit Zone in the Downtown


Jungangno, which had been under construction for 10 months, has now been transformed into a totally different place. The 1 km area between Banwoldang Station, and Daegu Station Intersections was re-opened to the public as the Mass Transit Zone, on December 1. In a bid to limit congestion, only public transport is allowed to run through this area. There won't be any restrictions for the public buses, motorcycles and bicycles to pass this area, but taxies are only allowed to run from 10pm to 9am next day. Trucks with a special pass can pass this area three times a day from 9am to 11am, 3pm to 5pm and 11:30pm to 5:30am next day. Through the renovation work, the former four-lane roadway has been reduced to a two-lane roadway on the Jungangno. Instead, its sidewalk has been widened from 4m to between 6 and 12m. Sleek modern benches and streetside fountains have been established in several places, and artificial streamlets have also been created with the pedestrian in mind. The pre-existing 9 bus stops were combined into 4 bus stops, and there are 7 street crossings now.

Free Tour Bike on Dongseongno

Other than that, the Daegu YMCA is operating various programs for domestic and international residents. One of them is the walking tour program, called "Find Daegu Through Alleys". This program will take you around modern aspects of Daegu, which are hidden in the narrow alleys throughout the downtown area, in particular. As part of this program, the Daegu YMCA is preparing another walking tour program starting on Dongseongno, the main shopping street downtown, which will put several programs together. Such programs include a shopping tour, where you can visit shopping places along meandering alleys. Another program, consisting of modern cultural tours, will visit modern cultural sites and tourist attractions. For even better service, the Daegu YMCA has started to operate a free tour bike program. If you come to Debec Department Store, downtown, from 2pm to 5pm, Tuesday through Friday, between November, 2009 and February, 2010, you will find free tour bikes available. The bikes are operated by eager hosts who will peddle you around the DaeguEupseong Fortress area, the ancient name for Dongseongno. During this period, the bike operator will take you to anywhere on the Dongseongno, Namseongno, Seoseongno and Bukseongno.

Let's Hit the Road!

Herb Hillz
Even though the weather is getting chilly, it is refreshing to get outdoors and appreciate the beauty of nature. There are several options you may take for this. You may go hiking in the mountains surrounding Daegu, or you may visit other neighboring cities. Among so many places in and around Daegu, the Herb Hillz may become one of your favorites. Herb Hillz is an eco-theme park located in Gachang, Dalseong-gun. When you hear the name of this area, it may sound very far from the downtown area, but in fact it is quite near. It can be reached within just 30 or 35 minutes by public bus, such as no. 449, 452, 704 or Express 2. Here in Herb Hillz, you can enjoy various activities, from making soaps, candles, name plates, etc., to appreciating natural beauty in a well arranged environment. It will take one or two hours to just look around Herb Hillz. In order to take advantage of all the diverse facilities which are available, it may take two or three days. Since most visitors will not have sufficient time to do everything possible, it is advised that we decide on our choices before arriving in order to make the best use of our precious time. If you buy a ticket for admission only, you can visit almost all the venues even though you cannot participate in hands-on experience programs, or appreciate the Animal Show, which is one of the best things to represent Herb Hillz. With this ticket, you can take a walk through the Herb Garden, which is composed of the themes 'Hillz Romantic', 'Green-tea Garden', 'Rabbit of Legend', and 'Fragrance of Yard'. Other than the gardens, there are many other places which are well worth taking in, such as the Maple Road, Metasequoia Road, Pine Forest, and Herb Valley. You can also enjoy yourself by visiting the Korean Farming Folk Museum, or the zoo. From springtime to Autumn, great performances take place on the outdoor stage, free of charge. If you are adventure-lovers, you may have fun with the EcoAdventure. It is composed of 5 trails: Tarzan, King Kong, Gorilla, Chimpanzee, and Monkey. EcoAdventure is an environmentally friendly recreational sports site, where you can traverse from trees to trees using ropes, cables, and wooden structures. If you appreciate the beauty of nature, in particular during winter, you will be able to spend a wonderful time sliding over the snow in a sleigh or at the Ice valley. Here, there are two kinds of snow slides: a 120 meter, main slide for adults and children, and a 50 meter slide for infants. For the snow slide, you'll need to bring gloves. High-heeled shoes are not permitted in the slide area. The Herb Hillz will also give you the opportunity where you can learn from hands-on experience programs. Events are scheduled for each season, so a variety of programs are waiting for you to enjoy such as planting herb flowers, making herb soaps and herb candles, making wooden door plates or topiary, etc. You may work up a hefty appetite with so many things to see and do. Luckily, you will also be able to eat meals using fresh herbs. You can choose one of several restaurants ranging from the herb Bibimbap restaurant, western herb restaurant, or fast food and snack bars. You can also buy herb items at the gift shops. For the ticket prices, a ticket for general admission costs 7,000 won for adults and 4,000 won for those under 18. A ticket for admission, and one hands-on experience program costs 12,000 won and 9,000 won, respectively. A ticket for admission and the Eco Adventure costs 13,000 won for adults and those under 18.

Life in Daegu: In the Mirror of Imagination


I have been living in South Korea since last one and half years. Being an expatriate has given me a unique perspective; it has made me more responsive toward the issues of global awareness and cultural sensitivity. More importantly, studying as a Korean Literature at Kyungpook National University Daegu, South Korea has rewarded me with firsthand experience of the cultural differences and their implication on both my professional and personal life. Through this article, I would like to share my experiences - good and bad - with Daegu s citizens, and how they make a big space in my heart. As an expatriate in South Korea it took me just one week to realize how different Korean Culture and Korean people are compared to our country. Before starting my Masters at KNU, I took one year Korean Language training at Wonkwang University Iksan, at Jeolla-bukdo province and then, I joined KNU in august 2009 for my Masters program. While I was coming Daegu, searched on the internet about Daegu and fortunately entered in the Daegu City Hall website, where I saw the different nicknames of Daegu which are given i.e. "Colourful Daegu", "City of Environment", "City of culture", "City of Fashion", "City of international mind", and the most important thing was written there "Daegu helps your dreams come true " . And these words are given me encouragement for making my dreams true here. As more and more workplaces become multi-cultural, there is a great sense of appreciation and respect toward people from different countries, cultural backgrounds, or ethnicities. Take Korean corporate or academic fields like KNU, for instance, where the concept of "Global" students has become quite popular. At KNU, you are more likely to meet contact students from India, China, Russia, Ukraine, Japan, America, United Kingdom, and Germany. They always use to sit together with Korean intellectuals and share their thoughts and learn from each others. One important thing observed here that there is no discrimination between expatriate and native. Daegu s people have keen interest to talk with the foreigners, and want to share their ideas but also observed that unfortunately there is a language barrier between us. If we foreigners use to speak a little bit Korean, you may observe that they become very happy and always praise you and always want to help you to improve Korean skill. Anyway after spending a week settling in and seeing some sights around KNU, I began to get itchy feet and decided to visit some interesting place of Daegu. So again I visited Daegu City Hall website where you can find full

information about Daegu, then I collected some important information and made plan with my friends and jumped on the local bus to spend a few hours wandering around and getting my bearings. I d also heard from some Korean friends that Daegu s down town was an interesting part of the city and decided it was good a place as any to begin exploring. And really I have found that it was a pretty nice place, with a long pedestrianised street full of souvenir and sweet stalls and a number of little back alleys. My first impressions of the city were positive, in that I found it a vibrant and cosmopolitan place, buzzing with energy. It had more style and was more developed then Iksan where I have spent my first one year to learning Korean. During my one and half years, I have visited almost all over Korea accept some rare places, but indeed I have found Daegu is different from all. One more thing I should share with you that before coming here in Daegu I d heard from many Korean friends that Daegu girls are much beautiful than other part of Korea. And really I found them same. So I have given a new interesting nickname to Daegu in between my friends, "The Land of Beauty". As we all know that its human natural mental disorder to keeping interest in their opposite gender, so my eyes always use to enjoy around inside-outside of the campus of KNU, in the downtown, buses, subways, taxies and in whole city. When we see them, blooms flower in heart and mind plays guitar, every minute falls in love with the beauties, and dream up again and again. If you don t dream then I will suggest you dream at least once. No body know, when it comes true, and you can be hero in a moment. Now let s

come out from the fantasy life. I have not only felt external beauties of Daegu but also the internal beauties, and we all know that internal beauties are more meaningful than external one. That internal beauty of Daegu is so called their kind hospitality. We can feel their hospitality around us, whether we go to restaurant, bus, taxi, down town, markets, or in university. So their kind hospitality made me adore of Daegu and its people. Before getting start my 1st semester I enjoyed a lot what shortly explained above, and visited many times down town and other places, for example Yugasa Temple, located deep in the valley of Mt. Biseulsan, Daegu Arboretum, Daegu National Museum, Daegu Opera house, Daegu Stadium, Gyesan Cathedrals of Downtown etc. but when my semester started for Masters, I realised that I am very week in my major and need that will have to study very hard for a good outcome and also want to make good impression on my teachers, but as you know Korean literature is even though difficult for the Koreans, I was going through very tough time, meanwhile studying my major, was searching some thing on the internet, accidentally saw a notice on the Daegu City Hall website that there was a cultural tour programme of two days for the foreigners. So I applied it and got selected for it fortunately and visited Yongju s Sunbichon(The Scholar s Village) traditional village. The Programme was well organised by Daegu City Hall, they have provide all kind of facilities to us and made us fully enjoyed there during the weekend. We experienced there traditional Korean culture with a variety of hands-on activities such as making colourful handkerchief, Calligraphy, played Samulnori a traditional game and also other traditional games of Korea, participated in the Traditional Wedding Ceremony. We all participant were almost one hundred and all stayed overnight there in Sunbichon s traditional house called the "Hanok". I really got free from all my study stress and made lots of friends during two days short programme. That was really one of good moments in my life which I will remember for a long time. I am lucky to getting education in Korea in such a beautiful environment and gaining international exposure both in academic and professional world. Once while I was in India, one of my friends asked me what do you want to be in your life? What is your dream? I just smiled as usually I do, and replied him, don t know, on my reply, he laughed loudly, and said, you should have some aim in your life. I reply him 'yes, you are right, I should, but I don t know why my heart use to say me that desire is more important than aim. Our aim may be fail but desire never fails.
Chingusai

Desire may take beyond the aim where some other beautiful world will be waiting for our welcome. So I am full of desire and my desire will never ruin from my heart. And I want to go beyond my aim. For me, aim is only stoppage where I would take a long breath and start another journey to fulfill my desire. As some one said very interestingly: Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment. Learning is a continuous process! It is not dependent on our age, but it is how we perceive ourselves to learn and increase our knowledge; consequently to become a successful and respected member of our community. Again, I am fortunate to be educating far away from home here in South Korea and the travelling that goes with it is a lifetime experience that money can not buy! During these fast and busy schedules of daily life I made many Korean friends who use to help me not only in my study but also in all aspects in the same way I also try to help them where they need me. And we use to share our intellectuality on the international basis on various topics. One thing is clear that Koreans in general are ambitious, well friendly, and hard workers and used to finishing things as quickly as possible, which I have learned by them. In fact, one of the expressions we foreigners hear most often in Korea is "Hurry Hurry" or "Palli Palli". But sometimes they rush things too much and make things go wrong, or ignore job efficiency or safety rules causing undesirable outcome. Korean place a lot of emphasis on little; it could be said that nowhere in East Asia does little hold more prominence than in Korea. Try addressing a Korean colleague of the same age group but higher designation with his name, and chances are you will be asked to prefix a title. If you don t use a title to address someone higher in the value chain, Koreans are likely to consider you disrespectful or discourteous. Koreans are to be very serious about manners. Even they maintain courtesy between close friends. Finally, my recommendation for dealing with intercultural issues is to have an open mind and heart. While we are all unique in some ways, at the core we are all the same. Our values, goals, and daily issues are pretty much the same. We might exercise different practices and customs, but they all fulfill the same basic needs or desires.

My Adventurous Life in Daegu


It is now easy to find international students on college campuses in Daegu. I am also one of the international students. My name is Zhu Chao and I am studying at Keimyung University here in Daegu. I came to Korea after graduating from a high school in China. Five years has already passed since my arrival. I am about to graduate in a couple of months, and I have a mixed feeling. International students might be of different nationalities, races, dreams or goals, but they have similar lives with others on campus. I have experienced and learned a lot living with Koreans. My mind has expanded through my friends as well as with other people. My life in Korea began in January 2005 when I was 20 years old after graduating from a high school. Honestly, I wasn't a good student during my high school years. Sometimes, I caused trouble. My father told me he wouldn't expect much from me and he asked me to go abroad for study for a new start only on one condition: to speak fluent Korean. When I first arrived in Korea, the language was the biggest problem. I lost confidence in myself and I worried too much. As my Korean ability improved, I gained confidence again and assured myself I could do anything if I tried hard enough. Two months after I arrived in Korea, I broke my leg while playing basketball. For the first time in my life, I had an operation and was in a hospital for a month. When I called home to get a signature as written consent for the operation, my mom cried and I felt terrible for her. I experienced loneliness when I was in a hospital, but this experience made me feel closer to my fellow Koreans. Even with my language problems, other patients in the hospital ward took good care of me and my school friends often visited me. I was really grateful and may never forget this feeling. My gratitude toward Koreans made me have a deeper affection for Korea. I like to meet and talk with people and feel lucky to meet many nice people who happen to give me many wonderful opportunities. For example, I met Mr. Lee Jae-ryong while I was working part-time at a restaurant. Thanks to him, I could work at a library to help Chinese students learn how to use the library efficiently. This led me to be recommended by the librarians as the president for the Chinese Student Council. I had a great time while serving as president. Last year, I worked very hard. I served my internship at a company in the morning, worked parttime at the library in the afternoon, and took evening classes. Other than serving for the Chinese Student Council of the KMU and for the international residents committee of the Dalseo-gu District, I have worked as an interpreter. I also had a chance to work with newspapers and broadcasting companies while interpreting. In a couple of months, I will graduate. Other than going back home after graduation, I have decided to work here in Korea to gain more experience. Last May, I started working as an intern at Samick THK that has a branch company in China. I don't think, however, that all the international students adapt themselves to their lives of studying abroad. There are some students who regret studying abroad. Most of them decided to study abroad for fun or they just came to Korea because of the socalled Korean Wave. But, when they found out that real life in Korea is different from the movies or TV dramas, they felt lonely and couldn't easily adapt themselves to their new lives here. When you looked at them, they just made friends with only Chinese students and went back home during vacations. They didn't make efforts to learn about Korea and that made their life here less fruitful. I would like to ask people to open their minds and get along with Koreans. Then, you will learn naturally about Korea and understand Korean cultures. I love Korea and the Korean people. My girl friend is a Korean. For me, Korea is my second home. Though I came to Korea as an international student, I am now an assistant promoting the friendship between Korea and China. I hope that more and more people will work together for further exchanges between the two countries, which will lead a friendlier KoreaChina relationship.

Restaurant Review

La Bella Cucina Jr.


from its name, this is a branch of the restaurant "La Bella Cucina", but it is decorated without the frills, mostly in black and white. When you enter the restaurant, it is dimly lit and there is a candle on each of the tables. Two sides of the restaurant are covered with lightly coated glass. This will permit a soft natural light to come into the space. Also, thanks to this lightly coated glass, you can candidly enjoy watching people as they walk by on the street. Passers-by may see you inside if you are seated at a window table. Sometimes when you go to a small restaurant, you may feel uncomfortable because the tables are crowded together. Luckily, you may not feel that kind of congestion in this restaurant because the space is used well. The main menu is classified into three specialties: pasta, risotto, and pizza. There are ten or so variations of pasta, three selections of risotto and three or four types of pizza. For these dishes, a cup of tea or coffee is included at the end of the meal. Other than main menu, you can also order garlic bread, soup of the day, or tiramisu cake for dessert. Beer and wines are also available. Regarding price, most of the main dishes in this restaurant cost from 8,500 won to 11,000 won per dish. Garlic bread, soup, and cake cost 2,000 won to 3,000 won per order. The restaurant "La Bella Cucina Jr." is located in the alley on the behind the Kyobo Book Store and Academy Theater. It is open from 11am to 10pm. The restaurant has a seating capacity of 52 seats. Credit cards are accepted. For more information, please contact the restaurant at 4225740.

When people choose a restaurant, the quality of food, environment of the restaurant, and the service in general will be considered according to one's tastes. The downtown area is full of restaurants, and it may be difficult to select one among so many restaurants with diverse menus. Thus, taking the safe route, we usually go to restaurants which are frequented by many people, or simply just return to a restaurant that is familiar. If you are familiar with Daegu's growing array of fine eateries, you may have already visited the restaurant "La Bella Cucina" in Suseong-gu District or at least you may have heard the name. The food is excellent with a wide range of wine selections, and the decor are great, too. However, you need to spend quite a money here. If it is a special occasion it may not matter, but if you just want to sample the menu, and the cozy environment for casual meetings, it may be too much. If you belong to the customers in the latter category, you don't have to go to the Suseong-gu District. In the downtown area, a new smaller version, called "La Bella Cucina Jr." opened several months ago. As you may guess
