Welcome to United States Garrison Red Cloud and Area I

You have arrived at a location that is an exceptional Military Community situated within the two main cities of Uijeongbu and Dongducheon. Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is located approximately 24 kilometers from Uijeongbu and a must see destination while you are either stationed or in transit.

Area I has the best of both worlds, the Korean Culture just outside our gates and the U.S. Culture right inside our gates.

You may be located at one of our Area I Camps Red Cloud, Stanley, Jackson, Hovey or Casey. Regardless of where you may be, you will still find the great services, programs and products that you are accustomed to at stateside garrisons.

Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) provides a diverse number of programs and services to you, and if accompanied, your family. We pride ourselves on having some of the very best programs and services located on the Korean Peninsula. You can pick up the “In the Zone” magazine which features most, if not all the programs and services available throughout FMWR and our other services within the Area I community.

If you require additional information on USAG Red Cloud and Area I or the surrounding area, please contact the ACS Information and Referral or Relocation Services Team for assistance. In fact, you can reach out and touch any of our FMWR services and they will be glad to provide you with the assistance you seek.

We have a lot to do, to see, opportunities to travel and much, much more and we hope to help you, with the Warriors’ Guide, in taking your first step to better understanding the great opportunity you have being part of USAG Red Cloud and Area I Community or Korea for that matter!

Again, Welcome and I look forward to seeing you out and about in Area I

Most Americans have little or no

knowledge of Korea’s history and culture,

and much of what they do know may

be an erroneous impression garnered

from the news media or old newsreel

footage from the Korean War. In reality,

the Republic of Korea is a vibrant, vital

country of more than 49 million people,

all striving to keep up in this fast-paced,

modern society. Koreans have become

world travelers, world-class economic

competitors, and they are highly regarded

participants in world affairs. Underpinning

all their vast economic and commercial

accomplishments over the last twenty-five

years though, lays the Korean people’s

spiritual wealth, their traditional respect

for elders, their strong belief in community,

their love of nature, and their sense of

national pride.

Many newcomers find South Korea to be

an exotic place. Keeping an open mind and

being willing to experience and appreciate

cultural differences will make your tour of

duty here one of the most memorable of

your military career.

Embark on your Korean experience

with a sense of adventure and your

Welcome to Korea 4

5

journey may surprise you in new and

wonderful ways. Soon after you arrive,

you will realize the Korean people are very

friendly. They will exert themselves to the

utmost to understand you. Many Koreans,

especially in Seoul, speak some English.

At times though, communication can be

a frustrating task. The key is to exercise

patience, speak slowly (not loudly!) and

express gratitude. Your reward will be their

readiness to cooperate and to support you.

Korea’s history is an amazing mixture of

events and trends. Against the backdrop

of strong cultural uniformity that started

to emerge in the seventh century and has

continued up to the present day, we find a

pattern of rich contrasts. Buddhist pagodas

stand side by side with Confucian Shrines,

cycles of great commercial growth are set

against downturns of financial decay and

numerous foreign invasions are countered

by attempts at territorial expansion. A

land-owning aristocratic scholar class ruled

over a rigid social structure, supported by

less-respected merchants and agricultural

peasants who toiled as tenant farmers.

Within the Korean government, periods of

factional strife and political coups contrast

with long periods of stability. Learning

about Korea’s past helps put the present

into true perspective.

On a busy day in Seoul, the capital city

WARRIOR’S GUIDEYour Family & MWR Welcome Packet to Korea

of 24.5 million people, we guarantee you’ll

notice the following:

• The industriousness of the people - The official work and school week is

Monday through noon Saturday. The

second and fourth Saturdays are not

official work days.

• Traffic - Everyone tries to “get there

first.” The traffic in many parts of Korea

is legendary and rivals the worst that New

York, Paris, London, or Washington D.C.

has to offer. Rather than a methodical,

legalized culture of driving, Korea’s driving

habits have been described as currents in

a vast river all flowing in the same general

direction.

• A myriad of smells - Visitors quickly

come to believe garlic must be the national

food staple. It is used extensively in Korean

dishes. Two very popular dishes are Bulgogi

(barbecued marinated beef), and kimchi

(a fermented vegetable dish with as many

variations as there are Korean cooks.) Once

you acquire a taste for it, eating Korean-

style can be inexpensive and delicious.

• The clothing - Koreans are much

more formal in their dress than most

Westerners and take great pains with their

appearances. As the culture becomes even

more westernized, the number of Koreans

who still wear a traditional Korean dress

called “Hanbok” (graceful, full-length

garment in several pieces) is declining

except on holidays or for formal occasions.

• The Korean alphabet, Hangul - This

phonetic alphabet, invented by King

Sejong and a group of scholars in 1443,

is actually straight forward but often

intimidating to foreigners. The 1988

Olympics in Seoul encouraged the Koreans

to print most major road and street signs in

both Hangul and English.

• The jostling crowds - Space is precious

in Seoul. Koreans are accustomed to tight

crowds, and they assume everyone else

is too. Therefore, pushing and shoving is

normal and not to be taken personally.

Welcome to Korea 6

• The markets - Nowhere in the world,

Hong Kong included, are there markets

and shopping areas to rival those of Seoul.

Itaewon, located just outside Yongsan

Garrison, is probably the most famous

of the Korean shopping meccas. The

true Korean markets, however, are not

as Western in style as Itaewon. In the

traditional markets like Dongdaemun (East

Gate) and Namdaemun (South Gate),

products are grouped according to type.

Astonishingly you will encounter rows and

rows of leather jacket vendors in one place,

miles of fabric in another, and thousands

of electronic gadgets in another. The range

is truly amazing! See Markets under the

Shopping section for more information.

As with any other prospective

assignment, try to visit or correspond

with others who have been stationed

here before you come. Stay open minded,

though, to form your own opinions. While

you are here, take every opportunity to

venture off Yongsan and explore this

beautiful, mountainous country. Strike up

conversations with the Korean people,

taste the delicious and sometimes unusual

food and enjoy the cultural arts. It will

definitely be an experience you will never

forget.

• History - Korea is said to have been

founded about 4,300 years ago. Its

recorded history dates back to 300 B.C.

The Republic of Korea (South Korea) was

established in 1948.

• Language - The Korean written

language is referred to as Hangul; the

spoken language is simply called Korean

(Hanguk-mal).

• Geography - Korea is a peninsula

thrusting from the northeast Asian

mainland in a southerly direction for about

620 miles/1,000 kilometers. The peninsula,

contiguous to the two continental

powers of China and Russia to the north

and nearby oceanic Japan to the south,

functioned for a long time as a land bridge

through which continental culture was

transmitted to Japan. Its peninsula location

has both the advantage of easy access to

adjacent cultures and the disadvantage

of becoming the target of aggressive

neighbors. South Korea shares a land

boundary with North Korea of about 150

miles/238 kilometers.

• Topography - Approximately 70

percent of South Korea’s land area is

comprised of mountains and uplands.

Mount Halla (6,396 feet/1,950 meters)

on Jeju Island is the tallest mountain. The

longest rivers are the Naktong River, the

Kum River, and the Han River, which flows

through Seoul.

• Area - 8,452 square miles/ 99,237 sq.

km (about the size of Indiana).

2010 have had several weeks of below

20°F temps.) In July the averages are 71°F

to 82°F. The annual rainfall varies from year

to year but usually averages more than

39 inches/100 centimeters. Of that total,

two-thirds of the precipitation falls between

June and September.

• President - Park, Geun-hye

• Capital City - Seoul (Est. population of

24.5 million).

• Monetary Unit - Won

• Population - Approximately 48.6

Million (July 2010).

highest in the world).

• Industry - South Korea’s workforce is

20 million strong. Fifty-two percent of the

labor force work in the service industry with

27% in mining and manufacturing. Exports

include: agricultural products, electronics,

machinery, textiles, steel along with metal

and chemical products. Major products:

clothing, textiles, processed foods,

chemicals, and electronics.

• Natural Resources - Iron, copper ore,

tungsten, and graphite.

• National Bird – Magpie (traditionally

said to bring good news)

• National Flower - Rose of Sharon.

Your Ticket to Travel in Korea

The Korean transportation system is

among the most effective and widely

used transit systems in the world, with the

subway systems alone, accommodating

more than 8 million trips daily. This

robust system connects Seoul, Incheon,

Gyeonggi-do Province, and most Northern

and Western provinces with each other;

which basically means, that if you learn the

fundamentals of riding the bus or train,

you’ll have access to most tourist locations

and Korean hotspots that you’ve previously

heard or seen on a Korean travel brochure.

Adventure Seoul Class 10

Korea Bus Transportation

BUS TIP #1: Hold on for Dear Life!Korean bus drivers are known for their

speed. Many of them drive really, really

fast, enough so that you can feel a bit

unsafe. But for the most part, bus drivers

don’t get into accidents. So although

they’re a tiny bit reckless, you’re still

pretty safe. That is if you’re holding onto

something for dear life! That’s because

as fast as they can speed up, they can

brake just as fast. That can result in a lot

of commuters falling over or even flying

across the bus when the bus comes to

an extremely abrupt stop. If you’re riding

the buses in, remember to hold onto

something, almost literally for dear life!

BUS TIP #2: Be Awesome and Get Up for the Elderly and Children

If you think you’re in danger of going

flying in a Seoul bus, think about how hard

it is for a little child or an elderly Korean

person to hold on for dear life. Just as

Korean subway etiquette says you should

get up for little children, the elderly, the

pregnant and the injured, you should

pretty much do the same on buses. If you

help a fellow Korean bus rider in need,

it’ll put you in the awesome category. And

who doesn’t like to be awesome---just do

it!

BUS TIP #3: Rush Hour – The Back Serves as an Entrance

If you ever try to get on a bus at peak of

rush hour, you might find yourself fighting

with droves of people to get on the bus.

For buses, it’s a pretty strict rule: the front

is the entrance and the back is the exit.

That is until there’s a bunch of people

trying to get home during rush hour. When

the crowds get too big, some bus drivers

will open the back door as an entrance

for people trying to get on. It’ll load the

bus quicker, and doing everything as fast

as possible is what Korean culture is all

about!

Riding the local bus is one of the excellent methods of transportation in Korea.

But before you get on that bus, there are a few things that you should prepare for -

otherwise, you’ll end up flying, missing your stop or end up acting rude.

12

13

BUS TIP #4: Super Crowded? Press the Bell on the Ceiling

So the bus driver opens the back of the

bus to let waves of people into the bus,

and now you fi nd yourself packed inside a

bus with a bunch of people holding on for

dear life. But lucky for you, your bus stop

is now coming. You reach for the bell to

let the bus driver know that you’re about

to get off, but your stumbling because

there’s so many people, and the bus driver

is braking and accelerating like a mad man.

Have no fear. Bus authorities have placed

bells on the ceilings of buses for just this

occasion. Although not every single bus

will have bells on the ceilings, many of the

more crowded buses will have bells on the

ceilings just for this purpose!

BUS TIP #5: Don’t Miss Your Stop! Go to the Back

Sweet! So you pressed the bell, and

now your stop is coming up. Since the bus

driver is driving crazy fast, you’ll just sit

until the bus comes to a total stop before

you get up. And although that’s probably

the safest way to do things, that isn’t the

reality. Most bus drivers like to pick up and

drop off passengers as fast as possible.

And that means if you’re getting off, you

should be ready and waiting to get off. If

you’re riding the bus, you have to be sure

that you’re standing and waiting near the

rear exit of the bus, even while the bus is

moving. Otherwise, the bus driver might

get impatient and you might miss your

stop! In that case just say “Ajeoshi! Stop!”

Once you have reached Uijeongbu

Station, you now have basic access to

any part of Seoul and nearby areas. There

are 9 main lines and 8 partial lines. You

can transfer to any of these lines with

no additional fee. However, you may be

charged a bit (up to W1,500) depending

on the distance you traveled. Basic fee

is W1,050 and you have to pay with a

“T-Money” public transportation card or

a credit card that has a“T-Money” sign

in it. The subway will not accept cash

but you can buy a one-time-only public

transportation card in every station. Such

card would cost additional W500 for

deposit. You can get W500 back when you

reach your destination.

Inside the subway, there are seats

assigned to seniors and handicapped. It

is courtesy to leave those seats empty for

them. Such seats are located at the end

of each train block. There may be people

selling merchandise or begging, but please

do not give/buy from them. At each station,

there will be announcement in both Korean

and English. Also many have displays on the

ceiling that indicate the next station. You

can find a current train station map in the

magazine In the Zone or the website http://

• Yongsan Garrison – Samgakji (line 6) & Noksapyeong (line 6)

For example, if you want to go to Camp Casey, which is close to Bosan station,

take the metro line # 1 to get to Uijeongbu Station, and then take a train bound

for Soyosan station. It is easier to see direction if you look at the next station name.

Ganeung station should be the next station so you have to take the train that goes

to Ganeung station next. You do not need to transfer to any other lines since both

Uijeongbu and Bosan are in the same line, line 1.

Train stations that you may want to visit:• Itaewon (line 6) – Popular among foreigners (international food/clothing)

• Gangnam (line 2) – Popular among young Koreans (Yes, where Psy was talking

Bus, Subway & T-Money

T-money is a transportation card as well as a device used to pay for taxi fares and, in some cases, transactions at convenience stores. The T-money function is often added onto various payment (credit/debit) and discount travel cards. This card can be used on public buses and subways in several different metropolitan cities and locations including Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Daejeon, Incheon, Daegu and Busan.

When using T-money, the public transportation fare is 100 won cheaper than when paying with cash; and, unlike cash fares, T-money can be used when transferring from one bus to another, one subway line to another, or from bus to subway or vice versa (within a transfer time limit) at no extra charge. Also, T-money does away with the hassle of purchasing single journey subway tickets. When you are fi nished using your T-money card, the remaining balance can be refunded after a 500 won service charge.

• Price: From 2,500 won and up

Convenience stores (GS 25, CU, 7-Eleven, Mini Stop, With Me, Buy The Way, Story Way) bearing the T-money logo, and ticket vending and card reload devices inside subway stations.

The T-money card is rechargeable in amounts ranging from 1,000 won to 90,000 won (maximum value the card can hold is 500,000 won) at any of the T-money vendors or ticket vending and card reload devices inside subway stations.

Where Can I Purchase These Cards?

Recharging T-money Cards

How To Receive T-money Refund

T-Money

1. Select your preferred language

2. Touch the “T-money Card” box on the right side of the screen.

3. Place your T-money card on the recharging pad.

4. Select the amount of money you wish to recharge.

5. Pay the total recharge amount. The device takes 1,000/5,000/10,000-won bills and 50/100/500-won coins.

6. Wait briefl y while the device recharges your T-money card. Once the card is recharged, confi rm its balance.

For a remaining T-money balance of 20,000 won or less, you may receive a refund following a 500 won service fee at a partner convenience store (GS 25, CU, 7-Eleven, Mini Stop, With Me, Buy The Way) bearing the T-money logo. If the remaining balance exceeds 20,000 won, you may receive a refund at the T-money Headquarters (1F of Korea Smart Card Corporation Ltd.*), therefore it is recommended for you to recharge only as much as you will need. T-money cards are not returnable, however they make good souvenirs to remember a trip to Korea. For more information, please visit the offi cial T-money website and click “Foreigner Registration.”

How To Use T-money

• BUS1. Upon boarding the bus, place your T-money card on the sensor bearing the T-money logo located at the front of the bus until it beeps. The sensor will display the amount charged on the top and the remaining balance at the bottom.2. Before getting off the bus, place the T-money card on the sensor located at the back of the bus until it beeps. It will display any additional charges, which are levied by distance traveled, and can now be used for free transfers within a specific time limit.

• SUBWAY1. Place your T-money card on the sensor bearing the T-money logo located on top of each of the subway turnstiles until it beeps. The sensor will display the amount charged on the top and the remaining balance at the bottom. If you are transferring, the amount charge may appear as “0” (zero).2. Place the T-money card on the sensor until it beeps when exiting through the turnstiles. It will display any additional charges, which are levied by distance traveled, and can now be used for free transfers within a specific time limit.

• TAXI

• TRANSFER DISCOUNTS

Transfer discounts are applied on bus/subway fares only when using T-money. For instance, when transferring while traveling within a 10km distance, if you use T-money, the transfer is free. This is a much better deal than using cash, as you would have to pay the basic fare each time you transfer.

You can transfer a maximum of four times and the valid amount of time for the transfer discount is limited to 30 minutes after tapping the T-money card. (*The transfer time limit is extended to 1 hour during the period between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. of the next day)

• NOTE

1) For children and youth card users, you are required to register your card with your birth date in order to receive the discounted fare (ID check required).

2) A fine of 30 times or more of the basic price of a T-money card will be imposed for unjust uses, i.e., adults using a child and/or youth card in order to get the discounted fare.

These days, many taxis accept payment via T-money card. In general, the payment terminal is affixed between the driver’s seat and the passenger seat. Inform the taxi driver that you want to pay with a T-money card, tap your card on the terminal, and your taxi fare will be automatically paid from your T-money card’s balance.

However, if the fare is more than your T-money balance, your full T-money balance will be deducted from the taxi fare and you will have to pay the remaining fare via different means.

The Korean language has evolved

throughout the centuries. No one knows

how long it has been spoken and, despite

the geographical closeness of China and

Japan, Korean is linguistically distinct from

Chinese and Japanese.

Chinese characters were used to write

Korean until the 15th century. However,

since they were hard to learn and were

very different from the Korean spoken

language, most people remained illiterate.

In 1446, after many years of study and

testing by the ruler, King Sejong and his

The Korean Spoken and Written Language

scholars introduced a unique Korean

alphabet. It was devised on a purely

phonetic basis and consisted of 28 letters.

These were arranged in syllable units or

blocks and not into linear words. This

meant the syllables could be written

horizontally or vertically on a page. Over

time from this original alphabet, Hangul,

the modern alphabet, has evolved. It has

24 characters and follows the Western

convention of writing from left to right.

Chinese characters are rarely used today

in conjunction with the Korean alphabet,

18

19

especially in newspapers; it is possible to

communicate fl uently without using them.

During your tour in Korea, you will fi nd

ample opportunity to study the Korean

language. Many bases have on-duty and

off-duty language classes that are offered

without charge. Formal classes are also

offered on post; check with ACS for details

(Also see the Language section in this

book).If you would like to get a head start

on learning Korean, try some free language

course guides from your local library or

register at Army e-learning through the

link, https:usarmy.skillport.com.

The courses are fun and great for

learning the correct pronunciations.

NOTE: If you are not a member of the

US Army you may encounter problems

registering. If this is the case, wait until you

arrive and go to the Library and register/

sign up on the computer system there.

The post libraries offer many language-

learning books, along with audio CDs and

DVDs for circulation. The AAFES Main Post

Exchange carries similar products as well as

useful phrase books and Korean language

computer programs. (A wonderful book

for simply learning to read the alphabet

is “Yes, You Can Learn Korean Language

Structure in 40 minutes.”)

English has been taught in Korean

schools starting in the 1st grade since

1998. In the past, English was taught in

Korean schools beginning in the 7th grade

with an emphasis on grammar instead

of speaking. The mainly testing- oriented

educational system means that many

Koreans have memorized a lot of English

grammar and vocabulary, but feel quite shy

about their conversational skills. When you

talk to Koreans in English, speak slowly and

simply to increase your chances of being

understood.

USEFUL KOREAN PHRASES

The following Korean phrases may assist you during your tour in Korea. They are simple

conversational words and phrases designed for newcomers. Koreans will be impressed you

have made the effort to learn even a little of their language. The key is not being afraid to

Korean Numbers

Chinese numbers are often used when counting sequentially. This includes money,

telephone numbers, dates, mileage, etc. When shopping, listen for the Chinese

numbers, particularly for the endings which mean hundred, thousand and ten

thousand. Notice that Korean numbers go as far as 99. Beyond 100, Chinese

numbers are used. When counting how many people, use Korean numbers.

Sometimes in the smaller restaurants the prices will be written in the Chinese

fi gures, usually from top to bottom. The following chart offers a brief glimpse of

some of the differences in the two systems:

The Korean Spoken and Written Language 22

South Korea’s population shares a

common ethnic and cultural heritage.

Intense feelings of nationalism, so evident

in athletic events like the 1988 Olympic

Games held in Seoul and the World Cup

soccer games of 2002, reveal a sense of

pride concerning South Korea’s place in the

world. More than Western people, South

Korean individuals tend to view themselves

as a tightly knit national community with

a common destiny. This chapter contains

sections on Korean personality traits,

factors that have contributed to making

them the way they are, and discussions of

important traditions, cultural attitudes, and

etiquette. Your awareness of these factors

will greatly reward you as you meet and

interact with new Korean friends.

22

23

Customs and attitudes are different in

Asia from those of Western countries.

Korea has its own set of courtesies. If you

take the time to learn and observe them,

the rewards are significant.

The traditional bow has given way to the

handshake, but friendly backslaps or arm

squeezing is considered rude here.

Koreans meeting for the first time

introduce themselves only at the invitation

of a third party. The formal ritual of

introduction is similar to this: The person

who knows everyone in the group invites

his friends to introduce themselves. One

says, “I am seeing you for the first time.”

The other repeats the same sentence,

and the elder one suggests that they

introduce themselves. The introductions

and formal bows are followed by an

exchange of calling/business cards. These

cards are very important in Korea. They

give an opportunity for each person to

discover the other’s position without rudely

inquiring about them. Cards also do away

with the need of asking someone’s name

twice. When someone presents you with

a business card, take a moment to read it

before putting it away as a sign of respect.

The proper use of names in Korea is also

important. A person’s name is considered

his or her personal property. Koreans

regard their name with reverence. The

persistent wave of Westernization has

accustomed Koreans to being addressed by

their family name, but only intimate friends

and family greet each other on a first-

name basis. Koreans prefer titles rather

than names. For example, you would call

the company president “Sa-jang-nim” or

someone with a Ph.D. “Bak-sa.” Teacher

or “Sun-saeng-nim” is an acceptable title

for anyone.

Try to remember that no matter how

“Western” many Koreans may appear on

the surface, their thinking is still governed

by traditions, which are based on a

culture several thousands of years old.

The following list covers some important

traditions relating to etiquette:

• Avoid eye contact. Looking into

an acquaintance’s eyes was generally

considered not polite. This is not

necessarily true today.

• Use the right hand when performing

tasks such as presenting gifts, paying a

bill, or pouring a drink. Using the left hand

is considered very impolite, but Koreans

do understand that Western culture is

different.

• Do not point the index finger toward

a person or gesture with your foot, it is

considered insulting. You may gesture with

your full hand, palm upward.

• Do not write someone’s name in red

ink, i.e., endorse checks, letters, etc. (name

written in red means death).

• If invited to dine at someone’s home,

bring a gift. When presenting the gift,

use your right hand. Place your left hand

below your right forearm near your elbow

(as though holding back a loose sleeve).

• Take your shoes off when entering

a Korean house or restaurant with low

tables.


Korean Non-Verbal Behavior and Etiquette

24

25

• Do not start eating before your guest

of honor or senior.

• Do not say, “I don’t drink” when

offered unwanted alcoholic beverages. It

is more polite to say, “I’m not feeling very

well today,” “I am a designated driver,” or

“I’m on medication.”

• Karaoke is very big in Korea. Sing one

of your favorite songs when asked.

• Do not eat or drink without offering

your food or beverage to your colleagues.

Do not pour your own drink; pour for

someone and let him reciprocate.

• Try to wear conservative clothes.

• Ask your Korean guest more than once

to help himself to more food and drink.

• See your guest off at the gate, and

stay there until your guest is gone.

• “Yes” is often used simply to

acknowledge what is said by one’s

counterpart; it does not necessarily mean

one is in agreement or understanding.

• Do not suggest splitting the bill. Just

remember when it is your turn to pay.

• You may often see two male friends or

two female friends walking affectionately

arm-in-arm. This is in no way an indication

of their sexual preference.

• Remember the Koreans will want to

touch and hold your children when you

are out together (especially blondes and

redheads). Koreans love children and in this

culture, children are treated as “everyone’s

treasure” to cherish and protect. If your

children are uncomfortable with this, then

remove yourselves from the situation as

politely as possible. A simple “No, thank

you” usually suffices.

Either plain or cooked with other grains,

rice is the main dish at most Korean meals.

Rice is accompanied by a variety of side

dishes. Favorite side dishes include bean

paste soup, roasted beef and fish, as well

as steamed and seasoned vegetables. Soy

sauce, soybean paste, red pepper paste,

ginger root, sesame oil and sesame seeds

are other seasonings which are essential to

Korean food.

Famed as a Korean treat is Kimch’i, a

dish of highly seasoned pickled cabbage or

turnip served at most every meal. Koreans

favor beef dishes, with Bulgogi being

one of the most popular. It is known as

“Korean barbecue” and consists of thin

slices of beef marinated and then cooked

on a grill over hot charcoal. The marinating

sauce is made of soy sauce, sesame seed

oil, garlic and other seasonings. Cooked

in the same manner, but using short ribs

instead of beef slices, is another well-

known dish called Kalbi.

The traditional Korean homemaker

believes that much of her family’s

happiness depends on her culinary

expertise. She often begins her day by

preparing a substantial breakfast of hearty

soup, meat or fish, steamed rice and

kimch’i. A light lunch follows which is

비빔밥 BIBIMBAP

Traditional Korean Meals 26

27

similar to the breakfast fare. A generous

evening meal is favored, consisting of up

to 15 or 20 dishes for special occasions.

Food is usually eaten with a pair of

chopsticks and a large spoon.

Holiday celebrations are an important

part of family life in Korea. All celebrations,

no matter how large, center on the home.

Women can spend hours preparing the

traditional dishes; sometimes a family’s

reputation depends on the amount and

quality of the food.

At an elegant Korean dinner, the

first course might be Ku-jol-p’an (nine

compartments dish). It is somewhat similar

to a French hors d’oeuvre tray. The cooked

meat and vegetables are arranged on a

large platter with a mound of pancakes in

the center.

Homemakers in Korea, like many others

in advanced nations, usually have little

time to prepare these traditional foods

and are well acquainted with frozen

fare, microwave lunches, and other high

tech cooking conveniences. Fast food

restaurants, Chinese takeout/delivery

(speedily brought on the back of a motor

scooter with a heated box strapped to

the back) and food stalls for the passerby

are very popular for the busy Korean

housewife.

A visitor to Korea will find native food

offered in small restaurants, in large

hotels, and in gourmet sections of large

department stores, such as Lotte or

Shinsegae. “TRY IT, you’ll enjoy it!” In fact,

Korean supermarkets usually have sample

stations scattered throughout, where they

will encourage everyone to try their wares.

b. From Stanley to Uijeongbu Station/CRC (Bus)

So you are in Stanley, trying to get out

and see more than a jail. If you go out

from the back gate (jail gate), and follow

along the path until it meets the main road

(road 43), you will see a bus station nearby.

If you are leaving from the front gate, turn

left and walk a bit then you can find the

same bus station. Bus #1 goes to both East

side of Uijeongbu Station and Camp Red

Cloud (arrives Uijeongbu Station first then

CRC). You have to cross the road to take it.

It would take about 35 minutes to get to

Uijeongbu station. There are on-post buses

also between camps. The full schedule is in

the magazine In the Zone. The bus only

takes Korean Won, a “T-Money” card or a

credit card with “T-Money” sign. The fare

is from W1,100 to W1,250 depending

on your method of payment. If you pay in

cash, you need to pay W1,350. If you pay

with a card, you will be charged according

to the distance you traveled. When you

pay with a card, you can transfer to other

buses or subway without additional

charge.

c. Camp Red Cloud to Uijeongbu Station (Bus or Taxi)

So you’ve been cooped up at CRC for

a while and decided to check out what

Uijeongbu has to offer. You can either

take a cab which starts at W3,000 and

after that, the price goes up W100/39

seconds, or W100/164 meters, or

approximately W6,000 or so depending on

the traffic (an amount you can split with

your battle buddies). Or, you can take the

scenic route by heading out to the CRC

main gate and turn right, where you’ll

keep walking for 15 seconds until you

see your first Bus Stop. Wait for Bus #1,

2, 3 or 5, show your T-Money card, say

Uijeongbu Station and stay alert for your

Shinsegae landmark.”

d. Uijeongbu Tram (Light Rail Transit, Gyeong-jun-cheol)

Uijeongbu Tram is a little bit different

from the subway. The tram moves above

ground level, it lets you travel around

Uijeongbu with a fine view of the city. You

may not find the tram in some subway

maps. Hoeryong station (line 1) is the only

station you can directly transfer to the

regular subway, even though Uijeongbu

(LRT, Light Rail Transit) station is pretty close

to the subway line 1 Uijeongbu station. The

Uijeongbu (LRT) station is west of Uijeongbu

station. The closest station to Camp Stanley

is Tapseok station. In order to get to Tapseok

station, from the bus station in front of

Stanley, go towards the Uijeongbu station

direction. When you see a 4-way street,

turn right until you see a 3-way street. If

you take a left, you will see Tapseok station.

Remember, as of now, you will not have the

free transfer privilege between the subway

and the tram. The fee is W1,350.


Things to Do

Uijeongbu Station area is divided into

west and east. In the middle, there is a

large, upscale department store named

“Shinsegae.” It is attached to the station

so you cannot miss it. The movie theater,

CGV, is right next to the station. It is

located west side of the station. Uijeongbu

“Rodeo” street is located east of the

station. The street is fairly modernized

and has many places for food and

entertainment. If you are into old Korean-

style markets, Jeil market is located further

east. People in the market barely speak any

English. You should bring a Korean with

you for communication. If not, you might

end up eating what you don’t want to

eat. The first floor sells mostly snacks and

household goods. You can go upstairs if

you want to have a meal. If you go north

of the Rodeo Street, there is Budaejjigae

street. Budaejjigae is a spicy soup mixed

with ham, sausage, kimchi, pepper paste

and vegetable.

b. HikingNot far from the base, Dobong

Mountain is famous for hiking. It is part

of Bukhan Mountain. The hiking course

starts at Dobongsan station, subway line

1. It is three stations away from Uijeongbu

station. The mountain is very close to

Camp Jackson. If you wish, you can take

an on-post bus to Jackson and walk

towards the Dobongsan station. Once

you get to the station, the entrance of the

mountain is on the opposite side of the

main road. Remember to keep hydrated

and bring Korean won for snacks.

c. Ice RinkThe Uijeongbu Ice Rink is located

near Camp Red Cloud. It is close to the

back gate of CRC. If you want to take

commercial buses, take bus number 1 from

Camp Stanley and transfer to bus number

11 at the Uijeongbu station. Then get off

at 실내빙상장 (Korean word for Ice Rink,

Sil-nae-bing-sang-jang) station. If you think

you cannot get off at the right station, it

may be better to take the on-post bus to

CRC and go through back gate from there.

Once you get out of the back gate, keep

straight. You will see the Ice Rink after a

baseball field. The entrance fee is W3,000.

It opens from 10:00 ~ 17:50; however, you

should call before you go since there might

be reservations or special events going on.

The number is 031-828-4855.

All the community banks on-post will

exchange dollars to Korean Won. If you are

in Uijeongbu station and short of Korean

Won, Hana Bank located east side of

Korean Won. The bank is right across the

station. The bank primarily uses the color

green so look for any bank with a bluish

green banner.

Korean rock started in the late 1950s

with Sin Jung-Hyeon and his band from

Dongducheon, who fi rst developed a

distinctly Korean style of rock and roll.

During the 1970s, music was heavily

censored by the government; nonetheless,

other Korean rock artists such as Sanulrim,

thrived until the late ‘70s, but from the

1980s, musical tastes had moved away

from rock music in favor of dance music

and also by heavy metal music in the form

of ‘Boohwal, Baeddoosan and Sinawe’

collectively known as the Big 3.

Rock music was revived in the early ‘90s

with democratization following the election

of President Roh Tae-woo. As information

fl owed more freely into the country, Korean

youth were exposed to decades of popular

foreign music in a short span of time, with

some forming their own bands. Two of

the earliest bands were Crying Nut and No

Brain, which introduced the country to a

variety of new genres in a localized blend

called “Chosun Punk.” With increased

globalization and access to the Internet, the

music scene diversifi ed and incorporated

more styles of music. Nowadays, the

City of Dongducheon hosts an Annual

Living off-post can be difficult if you have a medical emergency. The thing to remember is to remain calm. To call for Medical Emergencies from off-post you must dial 119. This is a Korean Ambulance that will take you to the nearest Host Nation Hospital. The DOD Post Ambulance can not respond off-post. If you live off-post you must call the Korean Fire Department. They also use 119 as the emergency number. If you need assistance from the Korean Police then you must dial 112. The Military Police can respond off-post, from your cell phone dial 031-869-5096 and this will call the on-post 911 service line.

The emergency dispatch off-post for medical and fire is 119 (Korean Police is 112); however, you can dial (02)-1339 from any landline or cell phone to reach an English-speaking emergency dispatch.

In the instance of a medical emergency, a Korean ambulance will be dispatched to take the patient to the nearest Host Nation Partnership Hospital. The DOD Post Ambulance cannot respond to off-post emergencies. For Area I, the only Host Nation Partnership Hospital is St. Mary’s in Uijeongbu.

**For those enrolled in TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) Prime and are seen at a Host Nation Partner Hospital, there will be no upfront costs.

** For those not enrolled in TOP Prime, or if you are seen at a non-partner host nation hospital, the costs for medical treatment are paid upfront. Afterwards, file your claim and receipts with TRICARE for partial to full reimbursement (based on your TRICARE plan) at DSN 05033-36-7236
