Editorial
I want to apologize to our wonderful writers for not publishing all the stories we were
sent for January because we had fewer volunteers this month to help us proofread
the magazine. We had enough stories to put together a much larger issue for
January, but since some of our regular writers are on vacation for the holidays, we
are reserving a few stories for the next issue.

We want to thank our new volunteers at the Gwangju International Center for their
tireless efforts to translate and prepare the new bus routes this month. If there is a
demand, we will republish the 8 page pull-out of the routes in March when many
new foreign workers will be arriving.

A Smart Cop
Policeman testifies in court...

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman.
He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the
policeman's credibility.
Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?"
A: "No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks
away."
Q: "Officer -who provided this description?"
A: "The officer who responded to the scene."
Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?"
A: "Yes, sir. With my life."
Q: "With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in
preparation for your daily duties?"
A: "Yes sir, we do!"

Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?"

A: "Yes sir, I do."
Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?"
A: "Yes sir."
Q: "Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker
in a room you share with these same officers?"
A: "You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk
through that room."
The courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated
for this year's "Best Comeback" line -- and we think he'll win.

GIC Talk
GROWING OLD IN KOREA –
REALITIES OF AGING IN A “BBALLI
BBALLI” WORLD
If you are 65 years old and Korean that means you were
born into a country under Japanese colonial rule. You
were four years old when the Americans and Soviets
divided Korea into two parts at the 38th parallel. You
were nine years old when your country entered a civil war.
You have lived, studied and worked through the
incarnations of Six Republics and survived life during
military rule. If you were in Gwangju you were thirty-nine
years old when you experienced the 1980 Gwangju
Uprising. You have seen your country obtain global
economic success that should have improved your living
situation; you took care of your aging parents. You know
what it means to be Korean, to hold the Confucian values
such as the responsibility between parents and children.
You took care of your children. Now it is time for them to
take care of you.
While the majority of people aged 65 are healthy, a
minority suffer ill health and disability. They need
support to live daily. In Korea this care is to come from
your family. Adult children are the primary care givers to
their parents. Following the civil code of caring for aging
parents has become increasingly more difficult due to
rapid social change.
The speed of aging, decreasing population with an
increase in life expectancies, categorizes 9% of the Korean
population as senior citizens (the U.S. and Japan are at
20%, Europe at 15%). Gwangju has 148,207 people
(10.48%) who are over 60 years of age and the rural
region of Jeonnam has 424,492 or 23.38% (2005).
Care needs increase as people age past 75. Since family
sizes are smaller than previous generations and more
women join the workforce, care for elderly family
members has become more stressful for families.
4 Gwangju News January 2007
Senior Fair
& Social Issues
While there are government programs to assist older
people who have no family to depend on, or are below the
poverty line, other families receive little assistance from
the government. Over 40% of older people live with their
family. There is little social infrastructure or support for
families to cope with the particular health and living
issues of aging family members. While, overall, Korea can
support aging parents at home due to improved standards
of living, many families are ill-prepared for the reality of
taking care of an elderly family member.
Home care service provided by the government is
increasing slightly, but there is still no respite care, a break
for the caregiver, that is offered or supported by the
government. Services that provide respite care are hard to
find.
Home care service, which includes laundry, food
preparation, cleaning and some companionship, is
available for older people living alone, but not provided
for family care situations.
The government is responding by building care homes or
hospitals, but these are more costly than most families can
afford.
In 2008 the government is planning to implement a long-
term care insurance system to help relieve the financial
burden. But is this enough? Other more alarming social
issues that are emerging are elderly mistreatment and
abuse, as well as abandonment.
GIC TALK SERIES– CARING FOR
SENIORS WITH DEMENTIA IN KOREA
BY PROFESSOR MI KYUNG CHO
Professor Cho Mi Kyung from Gwangju University’s
Social Welfare Department shared her expertise and
passion for older people care on December 16, 2006 at our
GIC Talk Series. Her area of research is in dementia. After
listening to her research results, it was easy to identify
with the emotions and frustrations of caring for loved
ones suffering from dementia. Her research also clearly
outlines some special troubles families caring for older
parents suffering from dementia face on a daily basis.
Of those surveyed, a majority felt it was their obligation or
duty to care for their parent, thus it was unavoidable.
Troubles occur especially when the senior can’t converse,
creating a loss of communication, which leads to
alienation. Additionally, caretakers feel resentful or bitter
because they must care for the parent with little support
from brothers or sisters. They also worry about the strain
on their relationship with their sibling(s). Some
care–givers have turned down promotions, as the elderly
parent would not be able to cope with such a large change
to their environment. Another issue is that while care
members receive practical and emotional support from
neighbors, they still feel reluctant to talk about their care
problems.
In the question and answer component of the GIC Talk, it
was shared that nongovernmental agencies are increasing
services for older people. Specifically, they are focusing
on social issues in order to help seniors maintain active
intellectual lives (for example, GIC, as an NGO,
encourages seniors to regularly attend the GIC Talks and
Tours).
SENIOR FAIR
The Kim Dae Jung Center also hosted the Senior Fair at
the beginning of December. Organized by the Gwangju
Metropolitan Government, highlights included exhibitions
on senior housing, care service, equipment, finance,
medicine, tours and commodities (fashion). Seminars
were held on senior care, dentistry, insurance, trade and
investment exchange, and welfare commodities. The
Public Senior Hospital Association, Senior Disease
Institute in Gwangju and Jeonnam, Home Nurse
Association in Gwangju and Jeonnam and Hospice
Association in Gwangju and Jeonnam also held seminars.
A Simulation Hall of Senior Life was also available to
educate attendees about the elements of a senior citizen’s
life.

The 1988 Seoul Olympics
That Brought Together the
East and West
Hand in hand
See the fire in the sky,
We feel the beating of our hearts together.
This is our time to rise above,
We know the chance is here to live forever.
For all time, hand in hand we stand
All across the land we can make this world
A better place in which to live.
Hand in hand we can start to understand,
Breaking down the walls that come between
us for all time, arirang
(Refrain) Hand in hand breaking down the
walls between us,
Breaking down the walls.
C
ited above is the ‘88 Seoul Olympic theme song
sung at the opening ceremonies in both English
and Korean. Koreans took great pride in hosting
the Olympic Games after 8 years’ preparation.
Korea was and still is a divided country when it applied
in 1980 for the hosting of the ’88 Olympics. The world
at that time was still divided into East and West. Korea
being an ideologically divided country was
apprehensive lest it should fail to be nominated as the
host country. But all the people rejoiced when the
happy news of acceptance reached the country from
Badenbaden, Germany.
As “breaking down the walls” in the song suggests, the
Seoul Olympics was indeed an occasion to break down
the walls between the East and West. The two
preceding Olympics, the 22nd in Moscow in 1980 and
the 23rd in Los Angeles in 1984 were half Olympics, so
to speak, because the free world countries boycotted
the Moscow Olympics and the Communist countries
boycotted the L.A. Olympics in retaliation.
When Pierre de Coubertin of France revived the
Olympic Games in 1896, the ideal was the elimination
of politics, race, religion, wealth, and social status. It
was a great pity that international politics crept into
6 Gwangju News January 2007
The Korean Way No. 52
the sports arena.
In 1979 Russia invaded Afghanistan. They refused
withdrawal demands made by the Free World. As a
result United States President Jimmy Carter initiated
the boycott and 60 some countries followed suit. Only
6000 athletes from 81 countries participated in the
Moscow Games. Some participating countries did not
even attend the opening ceremonies nor did some
medal winners attend the medal award ceremonies. In
these instances the Olympic song was played instead of
the winner’s national. There was a riot among the
spectators and the level of competition was said to be
rather poor.
Four years after the ‘80 Moscow Olympics, Los Angeles
hosted the Games. This time countries under Russian
influence boycotted. Only 6,800 athletes from 140
countries participated in these games. Communist
China took part in these games for the first time.
Commercialism was also introduced in the 1984
Olympics and every game was telecast with large scale
advertising.
The 24th Olympics held in Seoul in 1988 became the
real breakdown of the walls between the East and West.
A total of 195 countries and 8,500 athletes from both
Worlds participated in these Games. It was also in
these Olympics that the long-held amateurism was
abolished and professionals were allowed to compete.

Feature Article
Hanukkah:
The Festival of Lights
L
ike many in the international community, I
really begin to miss shome around the holiday
season. In fact, nothing makes me miss the
sights, sounds, and smells of home quite like a
piping-hot dinner of plain white rice and kimchi in late
December.
The thing is though, that while many of my Christian
friends long for a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and
their grandmother’s “figgy-pudding,” I miss the
trappings of a different holiday.
I want to wait for sunset and light the menorah with
my family; I want to play dreidel with my cousins and
open my presents; I want to eat my bubbe’s oh-so-tasty
latkes.
I am a Jew, and I want to celebrate Hanukkah.
What is Hanukkah?
Hanukkah, which literally
means “dedication,” is known
throughout the Jewish world as
the Festival of Lights.
Hanukkah is an eight-day long
celebration that begins at
sundown on the 25th of Kislev
(the third month of the Hebrew
calendar). This year Hanukkah
lasted from sunset on
!fully lit menorah December 15th to sunset on
December 23rd. Hanukkah is a
festival that commemorates the survival of the Jewish
people and the rededication of the Second Temple in
Jerusalem. (The remnants of the Second Temple are
now the holiest place in all of Judaism—the Wailing
Wall.)
In the year 200BCE, the Jews were an independent
people who lived in Israel, which at the time was under
Syrian rule. They paid taxes to Syria and were allowed
to freely practice their faith. This all changed when the
Syrian-Greek King Antiochus IV came to power in
175BCE. By 168BCE Judaism was outlawed and its
followers were forced to convert upon pain of death.
However, the greatest insult came when Antiochus
turned the Second Temple into a temple for Zeus.
8 Gwangju News January 2007
This last act caused the Jews to revolt.
Led by Judah Maccabee, the Jewish revolt consumed
Israel for three years. In the end, Judah Maccabee and
his soldiers successfully drove the better-armed and
much larger Syrian-Greek army out of Israel.
The Miracle of Hanukkah
When Judah Maccabee returned to the Second Temple,
he found it in ruins. Everything religious was
desecrated or burned. Pig’s blood was strewn
everywhere. After cleaning and repairing the temple,
Judah Maccabee wanted to rededicate it from the
Greek faith back to Judaism.
The most important part of the rededication ceremony
was the lighting of the Second Temple’s large golden
menorah (an oil lamp with many branches). However,
after scouring the temple, Judah Maccabee and his
men could find only a tiny jar with enough oil for one
night. Miraculously, this tiny amount of oil burned for
eight straight nights—long enough for the Jews to make
more oil and keep the menorah continuously lit.
How Hanukkah is Celebrated
Every year the miracle of Hanukkah is celebrated by
Jewish families throughout the world. Although the
celebration varies slightly from region to region, the
essence remains the same.
The Menorah
The most important tradition for families, besides
retelling the story of Hanukkah, is the lighting of the
menorah. The menorah used in today’s homes is a
candle holder with space for 9 candles. Eight candles
symbolize the eight days of Hanukkah. The ninth
candle is called the shamash, literally meaning
“servant.” This ninth “servant” candle is used to light
the other eight candles and is generally placed either
higher or lower then the rest of the candles and in the
middle. On the first night of Hanukkah, the shamash is
used to light only one candle. Each night another
candle is lit until the menorah is full.
The lit menorah holds a special place in a Jewish home.
After lighting the candles and saying prayers, the
menorah is placed in a window, facing the street. Much
like Christmas lights, the menorah in the window lets
the world know that Hanukkah is being celebrated.
The Games and the Gifts
and the Food
Unlike many Jewish holidays
that require somber prayer and
repentance, the eight days of
Hanukkah are truly a festive
time. No Hanukkah is complete
without noise, gifts, games,
food, and more food. Because
the Miracle of Hanukkah !Sufganiyot
revolves around oil, traditional
Hanukkah food is nothing short of deep fried goodness.
The most common Hanukkah foods are latkes and
sufganiyot. Latkes are deep fried potato pancakes that
are smothered in sour cream, applesauce, or ketchup.
(For those of you somewhat familiar with the American
Jewish community, think of really delicious hash
browns with a side of extra cholesterol and guilt!)
Sufganiyot are ball-shaped donuts that are deep fried,
filled with custard or jelly, and then powdered in sugar.
Latkes are generally preferred in America, Canada, and
Europe while sufganiyot are more popular in Israel.
Another Hanukkah staple is the dreidel. A dreidel is a
four-sided top that children spin
in a game also called “dreidel.”
On each side of the dreidel is a
Hebrew letter. On dreidels in
Israel, the letters are nun, gimel,
hei, pei. These letters are an
acronym for “A Great Miracle
Happened Here.” Outside of
Israel, the four sides of the
dreidel are nun, gimel, hei, shin,

When children play dreidel they generally win
chocolate filled coins or money, better known as gelt (it
means “gold” in German).
Although many view dreidel as simply a children’s
game, it actually has great historical meaning. Although
Judaism was outlawed under Antiochus, many Jews
kept a lookout outside while they secretly studied the
Torah. Whenever Syrian-Greek soldiers came around,
the scholars would quickly hide their texts and play
dreidel. When the soldiers came around, they thought
the Jews were just gambling!
Finally, no Hanukkah is complete without gifts.
According to tradition, children are supposed to receive
small gifts on all eight nights. Usually, kids receive gifts
on only the first two nights. In order to combat the
undeniable lure of Christmas and Santa Claus,
Hanukkah has lately become more commercial in the
West. Some families give their children eight gifts, one
for each night, but they are generally two large
(expensive) gifts, and six smaller ones.
Hanukkah in Korea
Being a Jew in Korea is far from easy. If I want to enjoy
any Jewish services, I have to go to Seoul. However, I
also really enjoy being a “representative” of my
religious community in Korea. For many, I am the first
(and possibly last) Jew they will ever meet. This means
that I get to teach them about my family, my faith, and
my traditions. Last week I even cooked latkes for all of
the teachers at my school. Seeing a bunch of ajumas
talking and laughing over skillets full of latkes
reminded me of home. I couldn’t help but smile when
they took a bite of their first latke and yelled “맛있어
요!!” All in all, it has been a great Hanukkah!

colander (this may take awhile but it will make the
latkes crisp and less soggy).
4. Beat the eggs lightly with salt, add to the potatoes,
and stir well.
5. Film the bottom of a frying pan with oil and heat.
6. Spoon the potato/salt/egg mixture into the frying
pan until desired size. Flatten the latke on the frying
pan and put the heat on "medium" to cook the latkes
evenly through.
7. When one side is brown, turn over and brown the
other side.
8. Lift out and serve very hot.
Side Note: Latkes are generally eaten with sour cream,
apple sauce, or ketchup.

BILLBOARD in Cheomdan
I
n the Cheomdan area of Gwangju there is bar that is
frequented by the foreign community. The name of the
bar is Billboard, and it is a small family-owned bar.
One person told me, "The family who owns the bar
treats all of the foreigners like family." The son, Wong-
che, is the main bartender and the mother runs the
kitchen. Billboard is somewhat small but cozy.
There are tables with comfortable chairs around the
perimeter of the bar. In the center is what looks like a
large pool table converted into a table with bar stools
surrounding it. There is a decent selection of beer on tap
as well as in bottles. You can't really get mixed drinks
except hard liquor mixed with OJ or soda. Soda and juice
are available. There is a limited menu. The orders come in
large portions. Be prepared to share. The fried chicken
and chips are excellent. The draught is only 2,000 won.
About two and a half years ago, Sue Wheadon, an English
Bar Review
professor at Nambu University in Cheomdan, started
meeting regularly with other foreigners on Wednesday
nights at Billboard. Billboard has become a popular
meeting place ever since then. Sue explains, " I knew that
there were quite a few foreigners who lived in Cheomdan
and neighboring areas of Gwangju, with no place nearby
to meet. Going downtown is great on a Saturday night,
but it's quite far from Cheomdan. It's nice to get together
mid-week closer to home."
Billboard is a good place to meet people, foreigners and
Koreans, to relax or even vent with a beer or drink of your
choice.
The large table makes it easy for everyone to get to know
each other. The bathrooms are spotless which is always
important here in korea.
People start arriving anytime after 9:15, and sometimes
hang out until 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. ... or later!!
Billboard is located in the cheomdan area, across the
street from the graves of Wol-gye dong cemetery, and
caty-corner from LC tower/Baskin Robbins.
If you do not live in Cheomdan, take a bus or taxi and get
off at LC tower. There is a large sign above the door which
you can't miss. It is on the 2nd floor.
The regulars try to make all new-comers feel welcome.
There are farewell and birthday parties plus other events.
Most foreigners who frequent Billboard are English
teachers; but some are students who are studying at GIST
(Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology). There are
also Korean English teachers and locals who want to meet
and socialize with foreigners.
If you are free on a Wednesday night or if you live in the
outskirts of Gwangju, why not give Billboard a try?

Around The World
Defending the helpless in Sri Lanka
L
ast summer vacation, I traveled Europe with my
friend. Although I was a poor backpacker, I was
always worried about pickpockets because I had
heard from so many other backpackers Europe is
heaven for pickpockets. Sometimes when I saw some
police officers, I felt relieved and glad.
However, after I went to Sri Lanka, my thoughts and
beliefs about the police wholly changed. The police are not
the reliable ones any more. I even thought it was better for
me to avoid the police. Did I commit a crime in Sri Lanka?
OF COURSE NOT!! I am innocent in Korea as well as in
Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, although I am an innocent citizen,
it's better to avoid the police.
Do you know about the period from 1950 to 1980 in
Korea? Actually, I don’t have any experience in this period
because I was born in 1985. However, through books,
media, and persons who experienced it, I got to know this
dark and gloomy age. Under dictatorship and National
Security Law, innumerable numbers of the innocent
citizens were arrested, tortured, and imprisoned.
Sometimes they were killed or became disabled. At that
time, the police were not working for citizens but for
persons in power. Of course, I believe that the present
Korean police might protect the nation’s life and security.
Anyway, the present situation in Sri Lanka is the same as
the past period in Korea.
Last October 26th and 27th, the Disappearances Day was
held in Seeduwa, Sri Lanka. From 1987 to 1991, large-
scale disappearances took place in Sri Lanka, especially in
the Southern district. The Disappearances Day is to
commemorate the disappeared. The problem is that army
14 Gwangju News January 2007
and the police are responsible for these disappearances. At
that time, the JVP (the communist party) tried to seize
power through insurrection, like in the Bolshevik
revolution.
To deal with this situation, Sri Lanka government gave
unlimited power to the army and the police. The police
and army unmercifully arrested and kidnapped large
numbers of people and then killed them. According to
official data, more than 30,000 people disappeared during
this period. In the name of securing the country from the
JVP, the police and army kidnapped and killed so many
people. However, the police and the army abducted and
killed not only JVP members but also innocent people or
the opponents of the UNP (the UNP was a ruling party at
that time). The method of "finding" JVP members was
unreasonable. One of my Sri Lankan friends was arrested
three times because he had beard. Luckily he is alive.
However, unlike him, so many people were killed because
of trivial reasons. If the disappeared were real JVP
members, did the police and army kill these people? No! If
they were real JVP, they thought it was better to imprison
or sue them. I think not all of the disappeared people were
real JVP members, so the police and army didn't release
them but killed them. The police and army wanted to hide
their faults arresting and torturing the innocent people.
UNP and persons who are liable for this incident still keep
silent.
This disappearances day, Ms.Jayanthi, who is the
coordinator of “Families of the Disappeared" and won the
Gwang-ju award in 2003, invited the Sri Lankan president

Feature Article
Actions speak louder than words
A
couple of months ago a local Gwangju newspaper
printed a poorly researched story about ESL
teachers in this city. It implied that English
teachers are a violent bunch of drunks who prowl
the streets at night looking for a fight. What upset me
most about that article wasn’t the shoddy journalism but
that it propagated a negative stereotype about a group of
people that I am part of and it simply is not true.
I happen to know for a fact that the foreign community in
this city is generous, friendly and family oriented. Had
you been at the soccer game/barbecue at Chosun
University on Saturday November 18th than you would
have seen proof of this for yourself. More than a hundred
foreigners and dozens of Koreans donated to the Sung-bin
orphanage by attending the soccer match between our
local men’s Inter-FC team and their rivals from Gecko’s
Seoul. There was an after-party
at Mike and Dave’s Speakeasy
where Seoul rockers “The Forty
Days” put on another spectacular
show for us. In total over 1.5
million won was raised for the
orphans.
Of course a sensational
story about a street fight
between Koreans and
foreigners is going to
play right into the fears
of many Koreans and
probably sell a lot more
newspapers. But, it is
this same “feared” group
of people who regularly
16 Gwangju News January 2007
donate their time, efforts and money to help
support a number of local charities.
Throughout the barbecue I overheard a lot parents saying
how great it was for their kids to get a chance to play
outside with other kids their age. Children were
everywhere! Many people remarked that we should
organize this type of “family oriented” event more often. I
say “go for it” based on the deliciousness of the food
alone!
Droves of people came out to eat western style barbecue. I
love Korean food, but it’s nice to have a little taste of home
sometimes. There were hot dogs, chicken kebabs and a
huge pot of homemade chili (that was consumed in record
time). It wasn’t just the foreigners digging in either. Plenty
of Koreans were sampling the
fair too.
I’m really impressed by the way
collectively everyone pitched in
to put this event on. I
understand it’s going to become
an annual event now. It wasn’t
just a few organizers that made
that day such a success. When
you realize just how many
people contributed in some way
it ends up being almost the

Cover Story
What Are You Watching?
S
ometimes I'll try to strike up a conversation with
someone about television or movies. I'll ask, "What
are you watching these days?" or "Have you seen
such-and-such a movie?", and I'll get a response like "I
hate television" or "I don't really watch many movies".
Being a self-professed lover of TV, movies, music and
entertainment in general, I never know how to react to
those statements. I know that society deems television
addicts quite "low-brow" and movie junkies only a notch
above them, but I cannot discount the endless hours of joy
and pleasure that television and film have brought me
throughout my life. I was a film major in university! If you
are one of the aforementioned stoics who can exist
happily without tuning in to your favourite show or tuning
out for two hours of comedy, cheap thrills and popcorn
munching, then congratulations-you need not read on. If,
on the other hand, you are like me and crave
entertainment pretty much constantly...let's talk.
Where do you find your English entertainment in Korea?
Let's turn on the TV. At any given time you might catch a
ten-year-old episode of Friends, Under Siege with Steven
Seagal, Delta Force with Chuck Norris or a reality show
that is so lame you've never even heard of it. If it's late at
night, you could stumble across a soft-core porno or a
collage of European lingerie runway models (probably
narrated in French-but does that really matter?). It's easy
to understand why so many Koreans develop a skewed
impression of what "Westerners" are really like. According
to Korean television, we have a collective penchant for
violence, sex, dumb jokes, burgers and boobies. Who is
this garbage aimed at-Westerners or Koreans? That's
another debate. For now let's take a trip down to the local
video shop and see what they've got.
Oh look! Jean-Claude Van Damme in a movie that went
straight to video! Weekend at Bernie’s One AND Two!
Blade! Spiderman! The Hulk! Crap, rubbish, shite! Hey
look! Way back here it's Scarface. That's a good one. But
32 Gwangju News January 2007
the second tape is missing. Wait a minute, I just realized I
don't have a VCR because it's the year 2007! Okay, let's
just go to the movie theatre.
Seems like they're only playing Korean movies at this
theatre. Let's try a bigger multi-plex...now you're talkin'!
Superman Returns, Batman Begins, Madagascar-only the
biggest-budget blockbusters for these folks. How about an
indie? No dice. A documentary? Opso. You can see the
point: limited selection. It's not a conspiracy. It's basic
supply and demand. If there's no demand, why supply it?
Hence, only the biggest features with the most hype get
through. So once again I ask: where are you getting your
English media?
Several months ago, I was talkin' TV with a buddy down in
Speakeasy. He told me that he could get me all six seasons
of my favorite show, The Sopranos, on a burnt DVD. We
negotiated a hard bargain: I buy him one beer for every
disc that he gives me. The next day I was in possession of
every Sopranos episode ever aired, and he was drinking on
my tab. He quickly became my connection to a world of
entertainment I'd been estranged from for so long. Within
a few weeks, Simpsons, Seinfeld, Six Feet Under and a
collection of documentaries and movies I'd yet to see
resided happily beside my laptop at the foot of my bed, and
my buddy's beer belly was bubbly and bloated. How did he
get all of that entertainment so easily? Download.
About four years ago I saw Michael Eisner, the head of
Disney, on a talk show proclaiming that, in the near future,
the internet and television would merge to become the
predominant source of entertainment for every household.
For millions of people around the globe, that day has
already arrived. Korea is in a particularly unique position
to be a front-runner of this trend. This country boasts the
world’s highest number of internet connections per
household. Copyright infringement is loosely-if ever-
enforced here, and download speeds range from fast to
faster. Swapping copywritten material online is still against
the law, but where? Periodically, you'll hear stories about
chronic file-sharers who have been caught and
prosecuted, but that still doesn't deter millions of people
from downloading and uploading TV shows, movies and
music on a daily basis-and how could it? Look at how
attractive it can be.
A camcorder bootleg of a newly released movie becomes
available online as soon a film is screened publicly. Once
films go to DVD, a ripped copy becomes available. Most
popular television shows appear on the net within hours
after first being broadcast. If a box set of any show’s entire
season is available in stores, then it will surely be available
online. This means that TV programs and films can be
stockpiled and watched any time the user feels like it-
without ads. English-language entertainment just went
from being a rare treat to a buffet. Small groups of people
are assembling in dark, seedy places, French Resistance-
style, all around this country. They're passing around
shows like Lost, Jericho and the uber-nerdy Battlestar
Galactica on their 100,000 won Geumho World portable
hard drives. Skeet Ulrich isn't getting a penny from it! The
same goes for music. Entire discographies of artists are
often much easier to obtain than specific albums or tracks.
But what about Lars from Metallica? Where's his cut?
Those who want to do the right thing can pay a visit to any
one of a number of pay sites where one can pay per
download; otherwise, torrent sites are completely free,
and there's no shortage of them. There's even free
streaming online TV from www.tvunetworks.com, but
once again you are a slave to the time schedule. The
advantages of bit torrent downloads make it hard for any
other option to compare.
I'm not going to focus on the minutia of how to get
completely set up in the download game because I'm not
advocating file sharing (especially on your work computer,
dumb dumbs), but how do these other people go about
doing it? In seven easy steps:
1. Buy a computer.
2. Get the internet.
3. Download the program Bit Lord or Bit Comet.
4. Download the ACE codecs pack.
5. Visit the site www.torrentspy.com.
8. Type in a search for a TV show or film.
7. Click download.
Lastly, to all those legal-eagle party-poopers out there who
oppose this current trend of renegade file swapping, let
me just pose this question: is it wrong to steal a loaf of
bread to feed your starving family? Okay, Sopranos is not
a loaf of bread and I'm certainly not starving, but Korean
TV, video shops and movie theatres can offer a bleak
selection. There are other possibilities.

Let’s Ski!
Muju Ski Resort
S
kiing and snowboarding are becoming
increasingly popular winter pastimes in Korea.
Nearly all of the resorts in Korea are in the chilly
northern provinces, a far cry from Gwangju. The
one exception is Muju Resort, near the centre of the
country in Jeollabukdo.
Muju Resort opened in 1990 and proudly hosted the 1997
World University Winter Games. It boasts nineteen
slopes, which apparently include Korea’s longest at 6.2km
and the steepest at sixty degrees. It's one of the largest and
most popular resorts.
There are two main parts, the official Muju Resort and a
“ski village”. The resort is conveniently situated right at
the foot of the slopes and offers pretty much everything,
such as shopping, an Italian restaurant and a nightclub!
Of course, this all comes at a price. The village is an ever-
expanding collection of independent ski shops, condos
and noraebangs. It's cheaper for things like
accommodations and equipment rental, but is
inconveniently located about two kilometres away.
Either way, you need to get to the resort to actually ski!
There are two main “bases” serving adjacent faces of the
mountain. At each you can buy ski passes, rent
equipment, use lockers and access the ski lifts. There are
also cafeterias, coffee/snack/drink kiosks, cash machines,
etc. so you can stay on the slopes the whole day without
34 Gwangju News January 2007
needing to go back anywhere. Ski lifts and slopes connect
the two bases, making it possible to ski between them. In
the evening the slopes are illuminated so you can continue
skiing under floodlights.
If you've never skied before, there's a small “ski school”
area at one base to get you started. For families with
young children, there's also a “Kid's Land” tucked in
between the two bases, with a few fairground-style
amusements and a slope for sledding.
Virtually everything you could think of for skiing is
available for rent, such as skis, snowboards, boots, poles,
jackets, pants, gloves, etc. The general cost is very cheap
compared to abroad, with skis plus boots costing about
12,000 to15,000 won per day and ski jackets or pants
about 10,000 won each.
There are five basic skiing sessions: dawn (6:30-8:30
a.m.), morning (8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.), afternoon (12:30-
4:30 p.m.), evening (6:30–10 p.m.) and night (10 p.m.-
midnight). There are various options when buying your
ski lift pass, depending on which sessions you choose. For
example, a single four-hour session pass currently costs
47,000w, or a full morning plus afternoon and evening
pass will cost 89,000won. These prices may change in
peak season.
Being so far south in the peninsula, Muju often lacks
sufficient real snow, so bumper snow-making machines
churn out artificial flakes to keep things going. January is
considered the peak season. The resort normally shuts up
shop around the first weekend in March, though this is
dependant on weather and demand.
Reserving a place to stay in advance is highly
recommended. At the resort, there's the extravagant Tirol
Hotel, or the more reasonable Family and Kookmin
Hotels, which are tailored for families and groups. Full
price details are listed online (see below). Note that costs
often include the lift pass. Alternatively, there are plenty of
condos in the village. This cheap and cheerful option
usually consists of one or two rooms, a kitchen and a stack
of thin mattresses for people to sleep on. It's mostly aimed
at families and larger groups. Costs range from 10,000 to
25,000won per person per night. A good place to start
looking is Naver.com, though of course it's all in Korean.
If you're going by public transport, then your only option
will be to stay at the resort. Express buses go from
Gwangju to Muju bus terminal (eight daily, 3.5 hours)
where you can connect to special shuttle buses to the
resort during season. However, it's much easier if you have
your own transport, as you can come and go as you please
and will also be able to move all that skiing gear. If neither
you nor your friends have a car, consider renting a car or
minivan for a day or two. There are plenty of “렌트카”
(“Ren-teu Ka”) places around and all you need is a Korean
or international driver’s license. Rental charges are
anything from 60,000 to120,000won per day dependent
on the size and class of motor.
If you don't have a car, or simply prefer your travel to be
nice and easy, then it might be worthwhile visiting a local
travel agent. Most offer transport and accommodations
package deals from Gwangju to Muju Resort.

 World Through the Eyes of a Teenager
Is Fashion to blame?
R
ecently, I watched the movie
“The Devil Wears Prada.” I was
attracted to all the beautiful
looking actresses and luxurious
brand names, some of which I had
never even heard of before. I liked it all
the more because it allowed me to think
about the rising phenomenon of
teenagers craving for brand-named
clothes. As we see from the title, it
provides us with a glimpse inside the
fashion industry through the life of an
ordinary girl who was seeking to be a
journalist, but totally changed as she
was hired to be the secretary to the
chief editor of a fashion magazine. As
the movie goes on, we could actually see
her ‘progress’ in fashion; from a humble
girl wearing a typical sweater to a
stunning stylish girl. Though the movie
portrays life in the fashion industry as
one that many aspire to have, the point of the movie
seems to be the typical saying “You should not judge a
book by its cover.”
This typical message deserves attention. Certainly,
nobody would deny it, but very often their behavior
speaks the contrary. A lot

can be differentiated by
wearing brand names that not many people can afford.
So, people criticize the trend and commercialism saying
they have terrible effects on children. However, is fashion the value of money and the items they buy. This could
to blame?
In Korea, students are obliged to wear school uniforms,
and one of the intentions is to reduce the possible
discrimination of certain students who are not rich
enough to buy brand names. If it worked, clothes
shouldn’t be a reason that students become social
outcasts. It is funny that some of my schoolmates wear an
expensive T-shirt inside their school uniform when we
have PE class so that others can see the brand name when
we change into our training suits. Also, we still see cases
of how teenagers group themselves according to not only
the brand of their watches, cell phones and MP3 players
but also their GPA or even height. Like these, kids will
include or exclude each other with or without fashion and

brand names.
Also, there is no denying that we are
living in an era when what you look
like determines who you are. We
cannot assume that teenagers
suddenly became so subordinate to
fashion. Teenagers learn from adults
and, nowadays, adults seek brand-
name clothes, and similarly, they try to
show their wealth and social class
through their clothes. When this is the
reality, can we blame fashion for
spoiling teenagers?
Instead of criticizing the desire for
fashion among teens, we could be able
to use fashion to create and teach
values to teens. The money most teens
spend for the brand-name clothes are
from their parents. Many parents feel
happy when we fulfill our desires. Some probably give
their children the money to the extent that the family's
financial state becomes strained. This is abusing parents’
love for us. It is tough for the parents, and bad for the
children, as it creates a poor sense of reality for them. If
parents give away the money, their children will not
realize the value of it.

earn,’ a key strategy to live in a capitalistic society.
Desire to wear the most stylish product is quite natural
and it is not the fashion industry which spoils teens. What
matters is a sound consumption climate, and that teens
are to be led to the proper sense of values. We can use
fashion as a means to create value, and help young people
realize that there is more to life than the label you wear.

Proud Korean!
Ban Ki-Moon became the
first Korean Secretary-
General of the UN
officially when he took the
inaugural oath at the UN
headquarters in New York.
His inauguration as
Secretary-General draws
world attention because he
is from S. Korea, the only
divided country in the
world and N. Korea’s
nuclear issue is still pending. He discarded archaic
prejudices that a person from a divided country can’t be a
Secretary-General and rewrote history by being the
world’s best diplomat. Ban Ki-Moon also elevated the
status of S. Korea and increased Korean pride which
deserves support and admiration.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon declared that he would
set as a priority re-establishing the UN’s trust and fully
dedicate himself to be a mediator and an arbitrator in
disputes. He also said that he craves a dynamic and
courageous bureau rather than a passive one. There are
many issues such as unresolved disputes, famine, severe
gaps between developed countries and developing and
underdeveloped countries, etc. None of these issues will be
easy to deal with. They will require international
cooperation for solutions and this is where his work as an
international mediator comes in. Also, on his plate, is the
upcoming” 6 Party” talk (which will resume soon) and an
early solution for the nuclear issue. It will be a great deal
of pressure on him, since he is from S. Korea, but, he must
seek help and compromise considering its gravity and
influence on security in the Korean Peninsula and North
East Asia.
UN staff members must be ready for dedication and
commitment to ensure that the UN can carry out its
missions. As Ban Ki-Moon indicated, it is high time to test
the efficiency and integrity of the UN staff members.
We wish Ban Ki-Moon well with his new post as the
Secretary-General of the UN. We look forward to the UN
making progress in enhanced security and development
and human rights as it paves the way to make the world a
peaceful community free from hardships for all.

Sexy Inventions
A Cape Town plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Peet van
Deventer, has developed a way to lift breasts by using a
lightweight mesh attached to the chest wall. The mesh
reinforces the 'hammock' created by the horizontal and
vertical ligaments in the breast. These are the strongest
ligaments in the breast and, less than 10 years ago, were
not known to exist. - The Cape Argus
And another SA invention is raising more than eyebrows –
or breasts. Willem van Rensburg is marketing his Pronto
condom as an answer to the annoyance of tearing off
condom wrappers and figuring out the right way up. He
says his condom can be used in less than three seconds
because it is applied without having to remove it from the
wrapper first. – The Cape Times

ditching stodgy peasant food for sophisticated dishes with
an exotic twist. Reinharz and a growing cadre of young
African chefs are determined to showcase African flavours
with finesse, using traditional ingredients like plantain

Shrek’s icy birthday shear
How to take advantage of the recent
media attention caused by the ice
bergs floating around the South
Island? Why, shear a sheep on one of
course. This is where Shrek’s fame
came into play, just in time for his 10th
birthday. How lucky can you be? New
Zealand Wool decided to combine the
two events in order to generate some
publicity and raise money for the “Cure Kids” charity.
Good idea? To Shrek’s owner, John Perriam, it seemed so
at the time, but he vows “never, never again”. Perriam
even tried to halt the stunt days before it was due to take
place, realizing that it probably wasn’t the safest or wisest
thing to do. However, the plans had been made and the
shear went ahead. Luckily for Shrek, there were no
fatalities, his custom-made crampons* keeping him steady
enough. But Perriam admitted the experience was
“terrifying”. While on the iceberg, it had a ‘convulsion’ and
the ice started to crack and split. It seems his concerns
about safety were warranted.
Shrek, the Bendigo merino, rose to stardom worldwide
when he was discovered in a cave in the high country of
Bendigo Station. He hadn’t been shorn for 6 years.
Consequently his first fleece weighed a whopping 27.5 kg.
This latest fleece is expected to generate a healthy
donation for “Cure Kids” when it is auctioned off. What
better reason to be shorn on an ice flotilla for your 10th
birthday celebration?

*A spiked iron or steel framework that is attached to the
bottom of a shoe or boot to prevent slipping when walking
or climbing on ice and snow. (www.dictionary.com)
Marriage on ice rocks?
It seems New Zealand Wool is not the only one wanting to
take advantage of the iceberg phenomena. A Dunedin
couple decided they wished to make their wedding
ceremony unique, saying their vows atop one of the ice
flotillas. This however, did not come to be.
The couple had planned to hire a helicopter, grab a
wedding celebrant and their crampons, and fly to one of
the Antarctic visitors to say their “I do’s”. However, the
proposal was seen as too risky and put on ice (pun
intended). According to a noted search and rescue
helicopter pilot, Richard ‘Hannibal’ Hayes, the unstable
icebergs made the mission highly dangerous.
Another blow was delivered to the couple’s dream when
Internal Affairs informed them that people had to be
within 12 nautical miles of the coast to be married legally.
The icebergs are at least double that distance from land.
Cynics may suggest, however, that perhaps the pair just
wasn’t famous enough.

Iceberg alert!
A flotilla of icebergs floating off the coast of the South
Island proved rather lucrative for the area’s small aircraft
pilots. A rare sight, tourists shelled out up to $500 for
each return flight to capture the mountains of ice on film.
Some even took the trip twice to admire the spectacular
anomaly. The Antarctic icebergs usually don’t venture so
far north, melting before they make it. However the
combination of a cold snap around southern NZ and
favorable ocean currents allowed the bergs to arrive in the
area intact. According to the National Institute of Water
and Atmospheric Research, the phenomenon hasn’t been
witnessed since 1948. This being a fair reason for the high
price tag perhaps.

Danger-ous victory
County Roscommon is not known for its victories on the
Gaelic football field. So when County Roscommon beat
County Kerry in a recent minor football match, they
celebrated in style. All previous Roscommon All-Ireland
winners were invited to a grand banquet at Hyde Park, the
county grounds. Any surviving members of the 1943-44
senior double, the U-21’s of 1966 and 1978, and any
former minor winners were feted and photographed for
posterity. Also, seen at the event were the most powerful
lawyers, judges, and law enforcement officials in County
Roscommon society.
Naturally, James “Danger” Beirne, Roscommon’s most
ingenious and audacious criminal, stood out from the
crowd.
Danger is well known throughout Ireland and Great
Britian for his dramatic criminal flare. Although he tried
to import several million Euros of cocaine into London in
1999, such felonious acts pale in comparison to his earlier
work.
Danger is possibly best known internationally for his
cameo performance in the “Great Nigerian Fish Scam.
Thanks to Danger, the Norwegian bank Tromso
Sparebank lost a cool $3.5 million in commission to Tom
Forde for a multi-million fish deal between Norway and
Nigeria. Although this was a “fishy deal,” there were no
actual fish, no money paid for it, and the Norwegians were
left high and dry. Part of Danger’s role in this memorable
enterprise was to chauffeur the highly impressed
Norwegian bankers in a Rolls Royce and transport them
by helicopter to Forde’s ‘manor estate’.
Incidentally the nickname “Danger” comes from his
exploits on the football field, especially near goal and not
from anything he may have subsequently become
involved in. Danger likely knocked more fun out of the
banquet than all else in attendance.

A Visit to the Indian

Cultural Center in Gwangju

M
y very first view of the Indian Cultural Centre
occurred on a rainy evening as my taxi
approached the building. It was a multi-floored
modern building with a traditional Indian painting on the
front wall and carved ethnic window frames. The painting
reminded me of similar paintings in my homeland. When
the taxi stopped at the front door of the Centre, I heard
the melodious hymns of Indian bhajan. I got out of the
taxi quickly, as it was drizzling, and rushed towards the
entrance. I was taken by surprise to see full-scale
decorations at the entrance to welcome the guests; it was
on par with any Indian home on a festival day. The feeling
seemed to dominate all my senses, making me believe I
wasn’t in Korea anymore. The aroma, colors and melody
blended with each other to create an Indian atmosphere.
The Indian Cultural Centre is a little India spread across
three floors, with two floors of galleries, an exhibition
space, one concert hall, a gift shop and a visitor
information office. I followed the signboard to the elevator
and then walked through a passage to reach the volunteers took me around. I got a chance to have a

I personally feel as if the collection is slightly biased to
only a few regions of India. I am impressed by the
Centre’s plans to incorporate more themes on diverse
aspects to portray complete facets of Indian culture and
tradition. I appreciate and wish them good luck in their
effort to promote knowledge, understanding and an
appreciation of India’s culture to the people of Gwangju

A
hhh, December and January - arguably the
best months for any sports loving couch
potato in the United States. And, believe
me, there are many. In Korea, I am slowly
transforming into a PC bang potato in order to
catch the latest scores and highlights.
What's going on, you ask? Almost too much too
keep track of, but here goes:
NCAA FOOTBALL
There are 32 Division I-A Bowl games, spanning 21
days (Dec, 19 ~ Jan. 8), culminating in the Tostitos
Bowl Championship Series title game
between top-ranked
and unbeaten
Ohio State (12-
0) and the
University of Florida
(11-1). The so-called
championship match-up will take
place in Arizona on Jan. 8.
Once again, the BCS, or “BS” system, as many
like to call it, did not do its job, which is to create a
clear-cut national title game. This time around, no
one had any problem with the undefeated Buckeyes
being there, but the Gators and the University of
Michigan have only one loss.
Many felt the Wolverines (11-1), whose only defeat
was a 42-39 loss at the hands of Ohio State,
deserved a rematch in Arizona. Unbelievably, after
the all the formulas and mathematical calculations
that make up the computer part of the BCS system
were completed, Michigan and Florida were in a tie
for second. The human polls gave the Gators a
slight edge and, thus, a berth in the championship
game.
"I hope that, in the future, we can have a system
where all of the answers are decided on the field,"
said an understandably peeved Michigan head-
coach Lloyd Carr. "We need to get away from
anything that's not decided by the players
themselves."
42 Gwangju News January 2007
If Ohio State beats Florida, as it should, the
Buckeyes will be the consensus national champion,
but if the Gators pull of an upset and Michigan
knocks off the University of Southern California (10-
2) in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, there may, yet again,
be dual-national champions. When will the powers
that be stop the insipid debating and go to a playoff
format, just like every other division of collegiate
football does to decide its champion?
On another note, is it just me, or does there seem to
be a new bowl game added every year? This year,
there are "Poinsettia" (what the heck is that?),
"Papa John's", "Meineke Car Care" and "Chick-Fil-
A" Bowls. Good gracious, will it ever stop? I hear
next year they may have a "Clean Your Stinky
Toilet" Bowl.

Sung Bin Orphanage
Sung Bin Orphanage is looking for long
term volunteers. We would like you to give
at least two Saturdays per month. As well
as being a friend, you will be asked to
teach basic English to girls aged 7 to 14.
For more information please contact
Michael at: sungbinvolunteers@gmail.com
Looking for Native English
speakers
Kona Volunteers is a registered
organization for helping underprivileged
kids by teaching English using storybooks.
We are looking for long term volunteers
who desire to enrich their lives by
volunteering. We would like you at least 2
Sunday afternoons per month.
On the 2nd Sunday of each month, we
help children of low income families or
single-parent families. On the 4th Sunday,
we help orphanage children. If you have
any picture books and storybooks, please
donate them when you leave Korea.

Looking for a volunteer
We are looking for a volunteer to help us
with the development of a new sun bear
education exhibit which will contain
interactive displays and information
aimed at the local public in Kalimantan.
As part of the position we hope that a
volunteer will be keen to help with the
care-taking of ex-stray cats (55) and dogs
(5) currently looked after by us at the
facility (i.e. feeding, medical care, nursing
of small newcomers, cat enclosure
enrichment). Ideal would be someone who
has some experience with training dogs
(in good behaviors) and who is also
interested in enrichment work with the
sun bears in their natural enclosure at the
facility.
There is no deadline for sending in
applications-but the sooner the better! We
recommend that a volunteer would be
able to stay for at least 4-6 months. At the
facility we can provide housing and food
for a volunteer, but unfortunately not the
airfare. Airfare to East Kalimantan will
depend on where someone is coming from
and whether cheap AirAsia flights can be
used. South Koreans can get a visa on
arrival in Indonesia, but we suggest any
volunteer to come on a social visit visa for
Community Board
which we can arrange the necessary & Gwangju News are only as good as the

Everyone is welcome.
“Often people ask me, what Hapkido is? Certainly, Hapkido can be defined in many
ways; philosophically, spiritually, and physically. But to simplify the matter.
Hapkido is the study of coordinated energy (Ki). It's important to realize that initially
because beginners tend to be focused on the physical aspects of Hapkido. However,
like dance with partners, the focus is on rhythm, energy, and moving together as a
whole.” - Jon Leroux.

 BEEF UP YOUR
RESUME
Have you ever thought that you
would like to publish your
writing or photographs? Are
you willing to hone and
improve your writing with a
team of writers, proofreaders
and editors?

How would you like to add to

your resume that you wrote
several feature articles, regularly wrote news blurbs, and
proofread for an English Language magazine in South
Korea?
We are developing a team of people who are willing to
commit 5 to 6 hours a month toward either writing,
researching, proofreading, or photographing. You can be
in any city or province in South Korea. English does not
have to be your native language, because other writers will
be helping you. As long as you are willing to improve your
work and are committed to turning your work on time,
Gwangju News has a place for you.
Gwangju News is only as good as its volunteer magazine
staff. Your writing, proofreading, and photography can
reach over 6000 foreigners in the Jeollanam-do region not
to mention the countless Korean readers. If you’d like to
be involved, write to gwangjunews@gmail.com.
