pre baseball game wandering
Before going to the baseball game last Sunday, we wandered around Daegu for most of the day. Under much of the city there are underground markets. In one of them, there was a shop selling beautiful hanbok, traditional women's dresses.
We were also amused by this mannequin, sitting in a junkyard, fully dressed.

Fun with masks
Everywhere I go, I see these 1000-Won (less than a dollar) masks. Seemed fun, so I bought a bunch to try with Naomi. They are hilarious.
The assortment:
I went with the pomegranate. It is supposed to control my aging.
It makes a happy face!
So elegant:
Naomi strikes a pose:
The stuff nightmares are made of:
Of course, we walked up and down our hall scaring/annoying people and giggling. After removing the mask, you are supposed to squeeze any leftover "essence" from the pack and apply it to your face and neck. The "essence" is essentially the slime the mask soaks in but we cheerfully obliged. Mostly, I felt sticky and goofy. So yeah, I'll do it again soon!

day off
This past week, I worked Monday thru Friday, but the week before, I had a Friday to myself. I took the shuttle to Chilguk, enjoyed a cup of coffee and wandered around for the morning.
I was alone on the bus (most everyone else was working at DGEV) so to pass the time I took some photos of the scenery outside. It was a beautiful day.
It is mostly farmland and most of the farming seems to occur under these long sheltered greenhouse things. There are a few on the DGEV land as well.
My delicious Americano, at a local chain called Sleepless in Seattle. It seems that Koreans love their espresso drinks, which is good news for me!
I did not eat here that day, but McDonalds is ubiquitous ....

high-tech toilet
We passed an LG store while walking around Chilguk and decided to check it out. Lots of fun gadgets, included some high-tech toilet seats that we got a kick out of. The buttons were so confusing! The toilets apparently come equipped with an extra nozzle, which can be aimed, and its pressure adjusted. At least I assume ... I mean, what else could all those buttons do? There was also a button to heat the seat.
I did not whip out my camera and take photos there in the LG store (I'm a classy broad) but then when I used the restroom at the barbecue restaurant, I was thrilled to learn that they had high tech toilets there! Photos had to be taken.

Maybe I'm just not adventurous enough - I did not try pressing any of the mysterious buttons. But I will ... oh, yes, I will.

mmmm, meat!
Naomi and I went to a restaurant that I believe could be called a Korean Barbecue (I'll have to check on that). We did not get Bulgogi, a popular spiced meat barbecue dish this time around, but I'm sure we'll go back soon so I can try that, too. This was actually the first time I've had Korean food that wasn't prepared in our cafeteria here. As I had been told many times, the "real thing" is SOOO much better than what we have in our cafeteria!
After we removed our shoes at the door, we were escorted to a private room with a low table and cushions to sit on. In the center of every low table was a hole covered by a metal disk. The owner/manager, who told me to call him An, speaks a little English, and recommended something from the menu that would be good for someone who had never tried that kind of food, so we got that. (Couldn't tell you what it was called; he pointed at some Korean words on the menu, we agreed to the Korean words, and that was it.) Then a different man came and removed the metal disk from the hole and inserted a pan of red-hot coals. He lowered a chimney from the ceiling to suck up the smoke. I was drinking a frothy glass of Hite beer.
Next, a waiter and waitress came to the table with a huge platter of dishes, which they spread out all over the table. There were 3 different types of lettuce-based salads, a small scoop of a potato salad, a few different types of kimchi and pickles, onions soaked in soy sauce with a dollop of wasabi, some random seaweed-type dishes, a bowl of red bean paste, a plate of octopus with cabbage and hot chili sauce, cloves of garlic, and a basket of green leaf lettuce and sesame leaves. It was a spread! A waitress also had a plate of thinly cut steaks, and she cooked them one-by-one on a grate over the coals. (I'm told that often restaurant guests do it themselves, but they probably thought we were too clueless and would set the place on fire! Anyway, it was sweet of them to do that for us, so we could focus on chowing down!) One way to eat the meat is to roll it with various toppings in a green lettuce leaf or a sesame leaf. Yummy!
In the photo below, there pieces of meat cooking (they start with a strip of meat like the one above, and as it cooks, they cut it into smaller pieces with scissors). At the left there are a few salads and watery kimchi of some sort, and on the right there is a sampling of more delicious food!
I love eating meals where you get to try dozens of different things, and this did not disappoint! Here's a shot of my own dish in the center. I had decorated my meat with some garlic the waitress had grilled and onions and wasabi. The garlic, onions, and wasabi were mild so they accented the flavor of the meat perfectly without overpowering it. You can also see the dish of octopus with chili to the left of my dish. I admit that I'm wary of big tentacles of octopus, but I tried one piece. It was so drenched in chili, there wasn't much else to taste.
After the meal, they took the coals away and covered the hole back up. We got some "popinsue" (sorry, I don't know how to spell it, but that's how it sounds!) for dessert.
It's a sort of strange dish - it's shaved ice with fruit cocktail, red beans, rice gluten nuggets (sort of taste like marshmellows) and a little yogurt. It's COLD and sweet and was pretty good!

Pet Store!
I have been teaching in the Pet Store "situational" since last Saturday. I had a day off on Sunday, and also get a day off tomorrow. The classes this week have been GREAT - only a few minor behavior problems, and really fun students. Their English level is low, but I'm getting better at running the class to scaffold their learning. It's going well!
One of the activities I do is a scavenger hunt, which allows the kids to pick up and play with the animals while also filling out a worksheet. Here's a photo of some of the more adorable kids, hard at work ...

Good clean fun on Saturday night!
After my nightmare last-class-of-the-day on Saturday, I relaxed in my room for a while, and then a group of friends and I caught the 6:10 shuttle into Daegu. We stopped first at some ATMs on the campus of Yeungjin College, which is the University that runs DGEV. It's a beautiful campus, but I didn't get any photos of it.
We walked to a bowling alley, here are shots of me, Naomi and Antonio on the street, and the street itself. I hadn't been in this area of Daegu before; it was pretty hoppin'.
We passed a medical clinic, and I was surprised to see patients walking around on the street in their hospital PJs (no open backs, thank goodness), including one who was dragging his IV around with him! My companions informed me that this was completely normal.
I liked my shoes at the bowling alley, they were pretty awesome. I probably should have put both on before I took this picture, but I got excited about the one shoe I had put on.
I bowled well, for me! My first game I scored 126 points! The bowling alley had 8 or 10 lanes, and the rest were occupied by Korean men who meant business. They probably weren't expecting our ragtag group to come in!
That's Lauren, Chris, Jazmin, Naomi, and Michael.
After bowling we went out and wandered around. Someone wanted Indian food, so we went to a touristy restaurant. The food was delicious, and I had my first Korean beer to wash down my very spicy Masala. Hite makes a lager and a stout - I didn't try the lager but the stout was not bad at all!

First class ...
I found out on Friday afternoon that I would be teaching my first class on Saturday morning. Yep, plenty of time to get a lesson together! I was to teach four classes in the Pet Store situational room, and the students were all part of a one-day field trip to DGEV. I didn't know their ages, behavioral problems, or language level ... we sort of fly blindly into these things.
I prepared a lesson plan for the 70-minute class with about 2 hours worth of activities - always good to overplan these things! The students for the first period were 40 minutes late, which was nice ... a good short class. They were excited to play with the animals, and seemed to enjoy the scavenger hunt. After that, a DGEV staffer approached me and told me that my second class was canceled. Off the hook until after lunch!
The first class after lunch was still pretty good. 70 minutes is a long time (and usually, the classes are 90 minutes!!) but I filled it up. My last class of the day was the nightmare class. It was filled with LITTLE kids - Not the 9-11-year-olds from other classes, but probably closer to 5-6 years old. Twenty-one of them! There were a couple older students there, too, but they were sort of trouble makers. I ended up kicking one of them out of the class. Although I had overplanned my lesson, it was still contingent upon the kids at least being able to write English letters ... these kids couldn't! I had to wing it, and then I finally gave up and just let them play with the animals.
Here, some shots of the pet store. The walls make it sort of a strange room to be in, but it's nice and green. They tried to match some of the fake plants in the store with the plants in the photo on the wall, which is a cool effect, but after the last class, most of the fake plants were strewn across the floor.
Pet Store seems to be one of the more popular situationals - at least there are toys to play with! And it was one of the classes I had observed, so I had some idea of how it could be planned. It could have been worse. All in all it was an OK first day!

Nori Bong
This being Asia, Karaoke is a very popular thing. Instead of drinking until you have the courage to sing in front of a bar full of strangers, here you can rent private karaoke rooms (Nori Bong) for you and your friends. Of course here at DGEV, we have 3 Nori Bong for the students to use, but we teachers are also free to enjoy ... the first time I was invited to Nori Bong, on Tuesday or Wednesday, I was very apprehensive, but it ended up being fantastic! So we went back again on Friday, and I took a few photos.
Our favorite room has darker wallpaper with a bit of a swanky safari feel.
This is Antonio, who sings a lot of Coldplay and Sting. The picture is a little blurry, but you can see the TV and the awesome disco light above.
The TV just plays random Korean pop videos while you're singing your song, at least for the English songs. I don't know if it's more accurate when you sing Korean songs, in terms of matching the video to the song. But the Korean videos are entertaining. They typically involve tragic love-lost type of plots.
We spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get the disco light to work ... finally, we gave up and started singing, which is when we realized that the light goes on when the music starts! I used the "slow synchro" setting on my camera to take these shots, which is why they're blurry but the lights came out really well. Here you can see Jim and Jennifer waiting their turn.
This is Michelle ... she gets really into singing the songs. I think here she was doing "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base.
I haven't gone to a real Nori Bong in Daegu yet, but it's only a matter of time!

Confusing graphic...
Confusing signage in all the elevators at DGEV ... i suppose that the first one means "no leaning on the door"; the third one is "don't stick your hands between the doors" (maybe?) ... but the one with the yellow background seems really terrifying, yet I don't know what it could mean!
Where is that poor individual falling from? There appears to be a chute high on the wall that he slipped out of, to fall on the floor and crack his head.
The simple solution is to ask a Korean the next time there is one who could explain ... but I prefer to be bemused and amused.

airplane shots
Here are two photos that I took from the "sky lounge" - it's a teachers' lounge that's above the dorm rooms and higher than just about everything else. In this first one, you can see the pyramid, the Creativity building, and the Main building in the distance.
This is another shot of the airplane, surrounded by scaffolding. Since I took this photo, they've draped the entire thing in blue and white tarp ... and now the workers are gone and it's just sitting there ... presumably it'll get repainted some day.

DGEV grounds
I walked around outside the other day and took a few photos of the buildings and the grounds. There are essentially 4 buildings here: The Main building, the Creativity building, the Situational building, and the dorms. All the buildings except the Main building are connected by hallways underground, but because these passages are all completely functional, there's no clear delineation from one building to the next. One minute you're strolling past the laundry room in the dorm building, and the next thing you know you're in the cafeteria, which is in the situational building.
In this picture, you can see the Creativity building. The playground is in front of it, and a nice little gazebo.
I took this shot a little closer to the Creativity building, and the Main building is visible on the right.
There are lots of beautiful flowers here, though it has been mostly hazy weather.
Here's a closer shot of the main building and the flowers in front of it. You can't see it in this photo, but there is a cool fountain in front of the building that actually starts at the top of the steps.
Turning around from the place where I took the picture of the main building, you can see the Situational building (sort of) at the right, and the dorms at the left. The glass pyramid in front is at the center of a cul-de sac, and serves as a skylight for a large round area below. That round area is where most of the situational rooms are. I don't have photos of the situationals yet, but they are the areas that are set up for hands on learning: a grocery store, police station, post office, gift shop, et cetera. They are all arranged around the central, sky lit area under this pyramid.
Looking to the left of the Situational building, you see the DGEV airplane, which is currently being painted and that's why it's surrounded by scaffolding in this photo. Its nose is pointing toward the situational building. Since it's being painted, I really haven't gotten to check it out.
Behind the airplane are the dorms. The brick rooms with balconies are teachers' dorms (mine is on the other side of the building) and the yellow building beyond is where the students stay. The grounds beyond that are more gardens and ponds, and way off in the distance is greenhouses where they grow lettuce and maybe some other vegetables for the cafeteria (though I've only had lettuce, so far).
If you click this link you can see an aerial rendering of the village with the Main building on the right, the dorms on the left, and the pyramid more or less in the center. There is an extra building shown between the Main building and Creativity building that hasn't materialized yet, but apparently it's in the works.

First Post!
Daegu English Village (hereafter DGEV) is about a 30 minute drive outside of Daegu, in a little valley surrounded by trees. It seemed completely dead when I arrived, around 10:00 PM on Friday. Not having slept for 30 hours, finally being able to hit my bed was a wonderful prospect, but Saewon, who had picked me up, insisted on showing me lots of stuff and taking me around first.
On Saturday, I woke up early and immediately rearranged my room and unpacked my stuff. This is a shot of my dorm room:
At lunch, I met several fellow teachers. I decided to take the shuttle into Daegu with a coworker named Naomi. The ride all the way into town took about an hour and ended at Dong-A department store. It was several floors of clothes, housewares, shoes, accessories, and cosmetics - fun but expensive! On each floor there were many salespeople, more than you'd think would be necessary, who were ready to help. I relied on Naomi, who's been in country for about a month, to greet folks and ask questions while I just looked around. The basement of the store had a bustling food court and grocery store. I had a great time checking that place out. There were people offering samples of food on every aisle, which was tasty. I really loved the produce department; its standouts were huge stacks of bundled seaweed and more different types of mushrooms than I've ever seen!
After we had our fill of wandering around in Dong-A, we set out to look around the neighborhood a little more. This was at the heart of Daegu and it was Saturday, so the streets were packed, mostly with young people. We walked down narrow streets of cramped shops, and even found a Senegalese guy selling jewelry and drums. I think I really freaked him out when I started speaking Wolof to him! We had delicious Pho at a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner. The shuttle back to DGEV picked us up a little after 9. It was a different bus than the one we rode in on - it was decorated with scalloped panels of red brocade on the windows that had pom-poms and little gold tassels. There were green and gold lights running above the seats and a pink light running above the aisle. Deluxe!
This is an instruction page I found attached to my chair. It's a reeeeally dangerous chair, I guess.
